Paul anchor clamps for tensioning systems: a reliable solution for post-tensioning
In modern construction using prestressed concrete technology, precise and reliable components play a key role. One such component is Paul anchor clamps for tensioning systems — products that ensure the safe fixation of cables during tensioning and their subsequent fixation in anchor devices. This technology is critical for the strength and durability of structures, especially when using post-tensioning.
What are Paul anchor clamps?
Paul anchor clamps are a removable mechanism that secures the reinforcement rope during tensioning. They consist of a body, a clamp system, and a return spring, which ensures secure and accurate fixation of the rope in the jack during operation. Once the specified tension is reached, the cable is held by the anchor system, and the clamp is removed and reused.
These clamps are designed to work with cables of various diameters, most often 12.5 and 15.7 mm. They provide stable cable retention without damage, which is especially important under high loads and when reusing equipment.
How grips are used in construction
Paul anchor grips for tensioning systems are used as part of tension jacks in the process of reinforcing reinforced concrete structures. They are used in the manufacture of hollow floor slabs, beams, road slabs, and other elements where controlled prestressing of reinforcement is required.
The clamp is mounted on the end of the rope, which is then pulled through the jack. During tensioning, the clamp holds the rope and transfers the tension force until it is fixed in the anchor head. After the operation is complete, the clamp is disconnected and can be reused without losing its characteristics.
Advantages and benefits of use
Paul anchor grips ensure high precision, reliability, and safety when working with reinforcement ropes. Their use offers a number of practical advantages:
- Increased wear resistance and durability of the structure;
- Can be reused multiple times without losing its characteristics;
- Versatility when working with different types of ropes;
- Quick installation and removal, which speeds up the production process;
- Compatibility with most tension jacks.
For manufacturing companies, this means reduced downtime, lower costs for replacing consumables, and increased reliability of the final product.
