How Do You Maintain Suspension Clamps?

2025-10-17

If you want to effectively maintain the suspension clamp for OPGW cable, you must first understand the working environment and failure risks of the fixture. Suspension clamp for OPGW cable is exposed to the outdoors for a long time, not only withstanding the dynamic stresses of OPGW cable's own weight, wind, ice and snow loads, but also facing the erosion of complex environments such as ultraviolet rays, acid rain, and salt spray. Under the superposition of these factors, the metal parts of the fixture may rust, fatigue and fracture, and the rubber liner is easy to age and lose elasticity, resulting in loosening or even falling off of the OPGW optical cable. Therefore, regular inspections are the basic part of maintenance work. Operation and maintenance personnel should observe whether there are cracks or deformation on the surface of the fixture through a combination of visual inspection and professional testing equipment, check the bolt firmness and the effectiveness of the anti-loosening device, and measure the hardness and wear of the rubber liner. Especially after extreme weather, it is more necessary to conduct a comprehensive and detailed investigation to find potential hidden dangers in a timely manner.

Scientific cleaning and protective measures are an important means to delay the aging of suspension clamp for OPGW cable. In daily maintenance, soft cleaning tools should be used to remove dirt and corrosive substances from the surface of the fixture, and avoid the use of strong acid-base cleaners to damage the anticorrosive coating on the metal surface. For parts that have undergone slight rust, rust removal treatment needs to be carried out in time, and anti-corrosion coatings need to be re-sprayed to form a dense protective barrier. For rubber liners, special anti-aging protective agents can be applied to slow down the performance decline of the liners due to oxidation and ultraviolet radiation. Of course, these maintenance operations seem very simple, but in fact the requirements for materials and craftsmanship are very high. Because poor-quality cleaning materials may exacerbate equipment damage, ordinary anticorrosive coatings cannot resist long-term erosion in harsh environments. And our suspension clamp for OPGW cable was designed with maintenance requirements in mind. The metal parts are made of high-strength alloys, the surface has undergone multi-layer composite anti-corrosion treatment, and the rubber liner is also made of materials with excellent anti-aging properties to help customers reduce the frequency and difficulty of maintenance from the source.


In addition to daily maintenance, standardized installation and replacement processes will also have an impact on the service life of suspension clamp for OPGW cable. During the installation process, the preload needs to be controlled strictly in accordance with the design requirements to avoid local stress concentration due to uneven tension. When it is found that the suspension clamp for OPGW cable has irreparable structural damage, or the performance of key components drops to a critical value, it must be replaced in time. In this process, it is very important to choose high-quality alternatives that match the original equipment. Our suspension clamp for OPGW cable has passed a number of certifications from international authorities, and can rely on precise mechanical design and excellent environmental adaptability to perfectly adapt to your line. Choosing our suspension clamp for OPGW cable means choosing a better product performance, a more scientific maintenance plan and a more trustworthy partner!
