2×40kN Hydraulic Cable Tensioner for Overhead Line Stringing | Dual-Groove Conductor Tension Machine
1. Overview
The 2×40kN Hydraulic Cable Tensioner is a high-performance tension control device designed for overhead transmission line construction and conductor stringing projects. With two independent tensioning wheels providing a combined tension force of 40kN per groove, this machine ensures smooth, stable, and safe installation of ACSR, AAAC, OPGW, and ground wires.
It is widely used in 110kV–220kV transmission lines and medium-span conductor stringing operations.
2. What Is a Hydraulic Cable Tensioner?
A hydraulic cable tensioner provides constant and controlled tension during conductor or OPGW installation.
Its purpose is to:
Prevent conductor sagging
Maintain uniform tension
Protect conductors from damage
Improve overall stringing safety and efficiency
The 2×40kN model is ideal for dual-conductor or single large-size conductor stringing.
3. Key Features
✔ Dual Tensioning Grooves (2 × 40kN)
Ensures stable conductor deployment
Suitable for bundled conductors or single large-size conductors
✔ Automatic Hydraulic Control
Constant tension regulation
Smooth speed adjustment
Overload automatic protection
✔ Wear-Resistant Bullwheel Liners
Aluminum or MC nylon lining
Maximum protection for conductor surface
✔ Real-Time Digital Monitoring
Displays tension, speed, and conductor payout length
Optional data recorder
✔ Robust Build for Field Work
Reliable in mountains, long spans, river crossings
Designed for long hours of continuous operation
4. Advantages
Stable & consistent tension, ideal for high-precision stringing
Highly durable hydraulic system with low maintenance cost
