TENSOREX ® C+ ADVANTAGES
Installation Tensorex – 1 Supervisor, 1 Engineer, 3 men for 2 hours, 1 MEWP (mobile elevating work platform), 1 block and tackle Balance Weight – 1 Supervisor, 1 Engineer, 7 men for 5 hours, 2 MEWP (mobile elevating work platform), 1 RRV (rail-road
vehicle) crane Safety Tensorex – Remains mounted on the pole after a wire failure Balance Weight – Does not remain on the pole after a wire failure
Down Time Tensorex – Tension the overhead wires, reconnect the wires Balance Weight – Lift into place, replace damaged components (guide, pulleys, etc), tension the overhead wires, reconnect
pulley system and yoke plate to the wires Maintenance Tensorex – No scheduled maintenance required, read tension scale and compare to temperature Balance Weight – Grease pulley bearings, measure height & compare to temperature
Handling Tensorex 200-750 lbs Balance Weight 1500-3000 lbs
Design & Aesthetics Tensorex – Small, compact design; Pole design flexibility (size and weight total is less) Balance Weight – large, visible from ground level; larger poles required for load and nesting of the weight

How to use the Tensorex selection diagrams First example Span length = 500 meters Temperature variation ΔT [°C] = 50°C ( -10°C ÷ +40°C ) Crossing point between curves 400 and 450,so: Tensorex type 450 or higher Second example Span length = 700 meters Temperature variation ΔT [°C] = 60°C ( -10°C ÷ +50°C )
Every curve shows Tensorex C+ with 50 mm steps compensating length
