POLELINE HARDWARES Pole Line Hardware refers to a range of products and accessories used in the construction and maintenance of overhead power lines. It includes various components such as pole brackets, crossarms, insulators, guy wires, and clamps that are essential for supporting and securing the electrical cables to utility poles. These hardware items are designed to withstand the weight and tension of the power lines, ensuring their safe and reliable operation. Yokelink supply a full line of Poleline Hardware, we offer from the top of the pole to underground. Here are some of the pole line accessories that you are likely to use for your project: Pole Bands A pole band is used as a point or platform for creating secondary racks to the pole. It is sometimes referred t as a fastening clamp or simply a pole fastener. Guy Wire Also known as a stay wire, this hardware is usually used for enhancing the stability of the pole. It balances the load that is on the electric pole. Stay wire is usually assembled with other accessories such as pole bracket, guy thimble, and stay rod so that it can attach to the pole and ground.Guy wires must have high tensional strength to sustain the forces against it. Anchor Rods You will have to buy guy anchor whenever your project entails attaching guy wires onto the power line. The anchor plays the role of connecting the guy wire to the ground.A guy anchor should be strong and have adequate tensile strength to support the force of the wire. Guy Clamps You will need the best Guy Clamp to secure the strands of guy wire. The clamp comprises two pieces of carbon steel that are designed to form a parallel groove.The design of the clamp ensures that there is minimum damage caused on the strands of the guy wires. Guy Grip Also known as a dead-end grip, this pole line hardware is usually used on the distributed cables. It is usually attached to the grip conductor and as well as for the optical fiber.A guy grip has helical which is capable of holding the cable. Guy Thimble Also known as cable thimble, this utility pole accessory is usually used in conjunction with guy grip. The thimble acts as an interface between the pole band and the guy grip. It can also connect to the tension clamp in order to protect the ADSS cable. You can also use the guy thimble to connect the stay rod to the guy wire. Insulator Clevis A secondary clevis comprises of a punched steel and a clevis pin. It is also known as dead-end clevis and is characterized by the D-shaped bracket. The main function of this powerline accessory is to connect with the pool insulator to the pole.Apart from the overhead line, this accessory is also used on the dead end. Secondary Rack As overhead line hardware, a secondary rack works as a platform for holding insulators. The u-shape design of the rack allows it to support the maximum number of insulators at any given time. It all depends on the number of spools that are on the rackThe smooth edges of the rack do not scratch he attached insulators on the rack. Crossarm Braces & Bracket This Utility pole hardware is literally the arm of a streetlight pole. It extends from the pole to provide a platform where you will attach the lighting fixtures.Streetlight arms come in different lengths and designs depending on the needs of the users.

Hot Forging According to the forging temperature, forging can be classified into hot forging, cold forging and warm forging. Most metal components intended to be forged are performed under hot forging. Hot forging is the most widely used forging process. In hot forging process, forging is carried out at a temperature above the recrystallization temperature of the metal which means at the temperature at which the new grains are formed in the metal. This kind of extreme heat is necessary in avoiding strain hardening of the metal during deformation. In real conditions during industrial manufacturing, friction plays a part in the process. Friction forces at the die-work interface oppose the spreading of the material near the surfaces, while the material in the centre can expand more easily. The result is to create a barrel shape to the part. This effect is called barreling in metal forging terms. Barreling is generally undesirable and can be controlled by the use of effective lubrication. Another consideration, during hot forging manufacturing process, which usually acts to increase the barreling effect, is the heat transfer between the hot metal and the cooler die. The metal nearer to the die surfaces cool faster than the metal towards the centre of the part. The cooler material is more resistant to deformation and expands less than the hotter material in the centre, also causing a barreling effect. The Advantages of Hot Forging are: High strain rates and hence easy flow of the metal. Recrystallization and recovery are possible. Forces required are less. Disadvantages of Hot Forging are: Lubrication at high temperatures is difficult. Oxidation and scaling occur on the work piece. Poor surface finish. Lesser precise tolerances. Possible warping of the material during the cooling process.

Bust Expanding Anchor The Bust Expanding Anchor is a type of hardware used in pole line construction. It is designed to provide a secure and stable anchor point for poles and other structures. The anchor consists of a steel rod with a tapered end and a conical-shaped expansion shell. When the anchor is inserted into a pre-drilled hole in the ground, a mechanical tool is used to expand the shell, causing it to grip the surrounding soil and create a tight, stable hold. Bust expanding anchors are designed for installing in holes augured. A piece is a formed anchor having a base and wings. A retainer is also present holding the nut from the forged eye rod, which often comes separately. In the installation, a hole to the anchor`s size is augured parallel with the guy angle and to a size based on the length of the rod. This rod is secured to the expanding and is lowered to the hole. The expanding and tamping tool is deployed for striking the anchor top and open these blades into the soil. The cave is backfilled and then tamped later. The curved head (expander and tamper) is used to distribute the bar weight around the anchor rod evenly to reduce the handle vibration. The bar hook wraps around the bust anchor rod to keep the expanding head from getting off the anchor top plate. The anchors are often coated with a rust inhibitor for maximum protection. The bust expanding anchor of good quality comes with the following features: Bust" Expanding Anchors expand to take full advantage of the eight blade wedges to expand into undisturbed soil. Painted with black paint Nut retainer on bottom of anchor holds nut in place during installation The effectiveness of the anchor is dependent upon proper size hole and the thoroughness of backfill tamping Most often, the anchors are hot-dip galvanized for maximum protection against corrosion. Also, the excellent quality products should come with the ability to be installed on the street light foundations on an immediate basis.

NO WRENCH SCREW ANCHORS A NO Screw Wrench Anchor Rod is a type of anchor rod used in Pole Line Hardware installations. It is designed to provide a secure and stable foundation for poles and other equipment that are used in the transmission and distribution of electricity. No-Wrench Screw Anchor is also called Earth Helix Screw Anchor, it is a type of earth anchor, that functions by guying wires or cables within utility poles. It comprises an anchor rod of forged-eye, angle-cut tip, and a welded helix. Both the Triple eye and the Thimble eye Eye anchors have a rod with an enormous opening to support a turning bar that ensures the anchor is screwed on the ground. The No wrench screw is installed by turning it into the ground by a machine or hand, the extension rod ensures installation to a depth reaching the firm soil. The anchor can be power-installed due to its eye that engages in the adapter of the hole-boring machine. The wrench anchor serves best in loose to medium-dense soils. After installation, the exposed anchor should have a final height of 8-12 inches extending the grade height. When the No-Wrench anchor is hand installed, it reduces the holding capacity by about 10-20%. Failure to adhere to the 5° installation alignment with the guying mass will significantly minimize the strength. The capacity ratings are only applicable to anchors that are properly installed.

No Wrench Screw Anchor A NO Screw Wrench Anchor Rod is a type of anchor rod used in Pole Line Hardware installations. It functions by basically guying cables or wires within utility poles, which is comprised of an angle-cut tip, welded helix and an anchor rod of forged-eye. To ensure that the anchor is screwed on the ground, both the thimble eye and triple eye anchors have a rod with a wide opening to withhold the turning bar. The best thing about this anchor is that it can be power-installed because of its eye that takes part in the adapter of the hole-boring machine. When installed, the no wrench screw anchor reduces the holding capability by about 10-20%, while this failure is to stick with 5 degrees of installation alignment with the guying mass will reduce the strength. Also, these ratings are only valid for anchors that are installed correctly. Features: The no wrench screw anchor is very suitable for manual or machine installation It is a triple guy eye No wrench anchor is an integral forged eye with a helix welded to the shaft The anchor is made up of hot-dip galvanized material It weighs 55lbs, 14 inches of height and width with depth up to 96 inches.

ASTM F1554 Anchor Bolt & Anchor Rod ASTM F1554 is a standard specification for anchor bolts that are designed to be used in structural applications. These bolts are typically used to secure steel structures to concrete or masonry foundations. The F1554 specification covers three grades of anchor bolts: Grade 36, Grade 55, and Grade 105. Grade 36 anchor bolts are made from low carbon steel and are commonly used in light-duty applications such as residential construction. Grade 55 anchor bolts are made from medium carbon steel and are used in more demanding applications such as commercial or industrial construction. Grade 105 anchor bolts are made from heat-treated medium carbon alloy steel and are used in the most demanding applications such as high-rise buildings or bridges. F1554 Grade 36 formerly known as ASTM A307 grade C, is the most commonly requested material for anchor bolts. F1554 Grade 36 is manufactured from mild carbon steel. F1554 Grade 36 is essentially A36 material, but with the specifications written specifically by ASTM for anchor bolts. Just as with grade 36, grade 55 covers anchor bolts in diameters ranging from 1/2″ through 4″. When you need ASTM F1554 Anchor Bolts or Anchor Rods, refer to above our catalog. We offer them in a full selection of sizes. Provide the length, diameter or part number. Our ASTM F1554 Anchor Bolts are available plain or with hot dip galvanized (HDG) finish.

Expanding Rock Anchor Expanding Rock anchors are designed for anchoring Wind Towers in solid rock. They are constructed of a threaded rod with integral eye and two opposing wedge halves. The anchor is placed in a hole pre-drilled in the rock. Twisting the eye of the anchor forces the wedges against the sides of the hole, locking the anchor in place. Load actually increases the wedging force and develops holding power equal to the full tensile strength of the rod. When anchoring in either bare rock or solid rock covered by soil, rock anchors provide an extremely strong anchor point without the use of concrete. Rock anchor is installed into the unweathered rock to develop the full strength and stability of the anchor rod. The rock anchor features triple eyes that provide space for up to three guy connections. A hole of the specified size is drilled into the rock and it should be in line with the angle of the guy. The rock anchor is inserted and a bar that passes through the eye turns the rod. The eye grooves of the rock anchor are contoured to prevent the guy strands from kinking, bending, or even spreading. The good thing about rock anchor is it does not require a wrench for the installation. The design of the anchor gives allowance for self-installation. The ability of the anchor to bore through rocks also helps to save time and the cost of labor that is required for the boring process. When it comes to drawing a comparison, the cost of installing rock anchor is way lesser than that of installing through the grouting method. Rock anchor is galvanized according to the ASTM A123. Its wedges are coated with a rust inhibitor which ensures that it lasts for long regardless of the environment of the installation. It also has high tensile strength that makes it withstand all sorts of forces.

Palnut Type Locknut The Self locking Stamped pal nut, also known as a lock nut or jam nut, is a type of fastener that is typically used to secure another nut. It's designed with a smaller height and is often used in situations where space is limited.The main function of a pal nut is to prevent loosening caused by vibrations or changes in temperature. It works by being threaded onto a Bolt and tightened against another nut, which locks both in place. This is particularly useful in machinery and automotive applications where Nuts need to stay secure despite constant movement and vibration. Metic size DIN 7967 and fine thread stamped pal nuts are available at Yokelink. 304 & 316 Stainless Steel slef locking stamped pal nuts are available per the request. When you need self-locking stamped pal nuts please free to contact us.

F1554 Anchor Bolts & Anchor Rods ASTM F1544 is a Anchor Bolts specification for straight, bent, headed, headless anchor bolts and all-thread anchor rods, made of carbon, medium carbon boron, alloy, or high-strength low alloy steel. The anchor bolts or anchor rods are intended for anchoring structural supports to concrete foundation. Such structural supports include building columns, column supports for highway signs, street lighting and traffic signals, steel bearing plates and similar applications. The anchor bolts are furnished in three strength grades: Grade 36, Grade 55 and Grade 105. ASTM F1554 grade 105 Anchor bolt are manufactured from medium carbon alloy steel that has been quenched and tempered (heat treated) to develop the desired mechanical values. This is the highest strength version of the F1554 specification, with a minimum yield strength of 105 ksi, covering anchor bolts in diameters ranging from 1/2″ through 3″. Galvanizing F1554 grade 105 bolts can be galvanized even though they are relatively high in strength. The galvanizing does not affect the mechanical properties of the anchor bolt and will not cause hydrogen embrittlement.

Thimble Anchor Rod The Thimble Anchor Rod is an important component for utility and telephone poles, it is also called guy anchor rod, guy wire anchor rod, thimble rod, or thimble eye anchor rod. One end of a guy anchor rod is connected to a stay wire by a guy clamp, and the other end is fixed to types of earth anchors buried under the ground. This design is to make the line pole fixed on the ground firmly by the guy wire anchor up pull strength. According to the design, there are rods for cross-plate anchors and expanding anchors, rods for manta ray anchors, no-wrench anchors, and rock anchors. The anchor rods are dropped forged to single, double, or three-strand eyes. The alternative anchor rods are furnished with oval eyes together with an equivalent number of wire strand thimbles. All thimbles size accommodates the size of the stay wire strand. The anchor rod has a strong and durable physical property to withstand storms and disasters. To ensure the safety and steady of the pole line, it`s important to use a high-quality anchor rod to install the overhead power lines. Part of the anchor rod that easily gets rusty is 30cm to the ground and 50cm under the ground. Considering it easily gets rusty to bury the anchor rod under the ground, the diameter is usually 2-4mm bigger. The main process of making the guy anchor rods is hot forging. Yokelink uses a high-frequency furnace to heat the rod until it turns red, and then polish the iron oxide. Finally, punch the red-hot metal head into a double eye or thimble eye shape. The surface treatment of the anchor rod is hot-dip galvanization to protect the anchor rod from getting rusty even during rainy and salty conditions.
