PLW-X Strain Relief Clamp

The PLW-X series of Portable Strain Relief Clamps are manufactured from tough & weather resistant polyurethane, stainless steel clamps and a central tension saddle.  The clamp is designed for use on draglines, shovels, drills, substations and pole drops where some flexibility of movement is needed.

2. Polyurethane Rubber Body 5. Flat Washer, 1/2" Dia  8. Hose Clamp, Steel
3. Steel Saddle 6. Hex Nut, 1/2" NC  


The Polyurethane body is composed of two identical halves which allow the relief clamp to be installed on cable already in operation.  Each body is designed to fit a small range of cable diameters.  When installed, the clamp is secured with two or three stainless steel hose clamps and a central steel tension saddle which is connected to the mining equipment by either 1/4” or 5/16” aircraft cables.
 
This type of clamp is excellent for suspending a length of trailing cable or anchoring a length of trailing cable connected to a junction box, substation or to just about anything on a horizontal because the clamp is designed to grip the cable over an adequate length, while at the same time offering the cushioning effect of rubber.  The clamp eliminates the use of straps, ropes, and other methods which contribute significantly to the failure of portable mine cable.
