Hardware Fittings For Polymer Suspension Insulator

1. U Shackle :U-type shackles are used to connect the insulator string from a transformer substation to an overhead transmission line, or to secure stranded conductors to utility poles.

2. Suspension Clamp :A suspension clamp is a fitting designed to suspend or hang cables or conductors on poles. In some cases, it is used to attach cables to towers. Since the clamp connects directly to the conductor, its specifications must match those of the cable to ensure a secure and reliable connection.

3. Socket- Tongue :These are used to connect suspension clamps to insulators and are available in various tongue widths and one or two hole diameters to fit most suspension clamps.

4. Ball- Eye :Used to link ball and socket insulators with other hardware, ball eyes are essential components in transmission and distribution systems. The combination of a ball oval-eye and an anchor shackle is widely used in distribution tower attachments.
