Disc Brake Bull wheelTensioners BWT- 50, BWT-54 and BWT- 61
Disc Brake tensioners are basic conductor tensioning machines with chain and sprocket drives that spin the ventialted
brake disc at higher rpms for smoother brake control. This design eliminates the surging that can occur with tensioning
equipment that have brake disc mounted directly on the bull wheel. Finer braking control is also achieved.
These machines are be used to tension all types of conductors ACSR, AAC, wire ropes and cables and fiber optic cables, both
OPGW and ADSS.
The bull wheel linings exhibit excellent abrasion and weather resistance while protecting conductors.
The BWT-50 with off road only trailer (shown above) is a very light unit that is easily lifted by helicopter.
They are available as skids or with trailers for off road only or highway towing.
Performance Specs.
Maximum Continuous Tension ratings of all machines is 0-5000 lb. @ 4 MPH (based on thermal capacity ratings of brake systems).
