Adjusting/Maintaining Mechanical Tension TRIZ Cases
- Motor-Driven Wire Tensioning Expander With Removable Power Unit
A detachable motorized power unit rotates the screw shaft to tension wire faster, with less manual force and safer one-person operation.
- Cable Tensioning with Balance Feedback to Prevent Tangling
Sensors, motor control, and a counterweight keep cable tension within range during servicing, reducing tangling and manual adjustment.
- Motor-Driven Wire Gripper for Safer Single-Person Tensioning
A motor-actuated gripping mechanism speeds wire tensioning and release at height, improving safety and enabling single-person operation.
- Safety Clamp Cam Mechanism for Automatic Cable Break Retention
A cam-triggered clamp grips the cable when reverse motion signals breakage, preventing drop and keeping the line anchored during stringing.
- Railway Wire Tensioning Pulley With Spring Torque Compensation
A spring, torque reducer, and variable-radius pulley keep railway wire tension constant through thermal length changes without bulky counterweights.
- Overhead Cable Support With Internal Counterweight Tension Control
An internal counterweight in a hollow pole stabilizes overhead cable tension, reducing wear and breakage while generating power from movement.
- Wireless Tension Stringing Control for Single-Operator Coordination
A wireless link lets the puller control tensioner settings in real time, cutting response delays, operator error, and conductor damage risk.
- Pendulum Gear Ratchet Tensioner for Unlimited Live-Wire Tension Control
Automatic direction switching and ratchet locking let this live-wire tensioner extend rope distance freely while preventing reverse rotation and backlash.
- Tension Stringing Control for Single-Operator Conductor Pulling
Wireless puller-to-tensioner control enables one operator to adjust conductor stringing in real time, reducing delays, errors, and damage.
- Pendulum Ratchet Wire Grip With Automatic Direction Switching
A pendulum-driven ratchet wire grip switches drum direction through the operating lever, enabling remote live-wire work while preventing backlash.
- Robotic Wire Tensioning for Slack Creation on Live Cables
A ratcheted clamp and connecting line let robotic appendages create cable slack while maintaining line tension for safer live insulator work.
- Robotic Wire Tensioning for Live Powerline Slack Maintenance
A robot-manipulated tensioner and clamps create slack in live electrical cables, enabling safer remote repair and replacement work.
- Bimetal Cable Tension Compensation for Thermal Expansion
Bimetallic strips automatically vary traction force with temperature to keep cable tension constant without bulky winding space or manual retensioning.
- Wire Support Structure With Variable Surface Roughness
Helical legs with distinct surface roughness provide radial compression for wire tension while protecting the outer sheath from damage.
