Tension Master™

The Tension-Master™ TM 301 Pulling System is designed for placement of fiber or coaxial cables installations that require precise control of cable pulling tensions and hauling speeds, while maintaining a safe bend radius of the cable. The winch is equipped with an adjustable hydraulic bypass relief to ensure that the maximum pull tension on the cable is not exceeded. Although the winch is typically set to 600 pounds using a 30” or 40” capstan, it can be adjusted up to a maximum of 2,000 pounds, (8.9 kN) when using a 9" capstan to pull copper cables or duct products. In addition to the standard tension scale on the footpedal, an optional calibration piston is available for field calibration purposes where various capstan diameters are used. The winch is designed to be portable and will easily adapt to a wide range of hydraulic power sources. It can be used as an end puller or mid-assist unit for underground or aerial applications. Systems can be free-standing units when used with the optional TM 307 Puller Stand, or easily mounted on most utility vehicles using the utility mounting collar provided with each unit. The hydraulic footvalve allows “hands free” operation of the hydraulic controls and provides the operator the mobility to position the equipment over a wide range of set up situations, while hand-assisting the pull line or cable.
