What Are Running Line Tensioners?
Running line tensioners measure the tension in running lines such as ropes, cables, and wires. They play a vital role in maintaining safe operations by providing real-time tension data, which helps prevent overloading and potential failures. They are widely used in offshore oil and gas, marine, construction, and transportation industries.
Key Features of Running Line Tensioners
- High Precision: Designed to deliver accurate tension measurements, essential for safe and efficient lifting and rigging operations. Our running line tensioners are calibrated to make sure high precision in extreme environments.
- Corrosion-Free Durability: Made from materials that resist corrosion, providing longevity and reliable performance in harsh marine and offshore environments. Our tensioners are built to endure exposure to saltwater, extreme temperatures, and other corrosive elements.
- Calibrated Load Pins: Our load pins are calibrated to international standards and can be easily replaced for quick maintenance. They provide reliable readings across the entire measurement range, enhancing accuracy.
- Proximity Sensors: Track speed and distance for precise line pay-out/pay-in readings, offering additional operational insights. Our sensors are designed to work seamlessly with the tensioners for enhanced performance.
- Versatile Mounting Options: Designed for easy installation on various equipment, including cranes, winches, and hoists. With multiple mounting options available, our tensioners can be adapted to fit specific applications.
- 5-Roller System: Maximizes accuracy and repeatability, providing consistent performance across various conditions. The 5-roller system reduces the effects of bending and loading on the line, and accurate tension measurements.
- Versatile Applications: Suitable for different wire rope sizes and loads, making them adaptable to a wide range of operational needs. Our running line tensioners can be customized to meet specific requirements for different industries and applications.
Running Line Tensioners by Brand
At Holloway, we use equipment from reputable brands such as LMS, and Straightpoint. These brands are known for their commitment to quality and innovation in load measurement technology. Our focus is on providing the best solutions tailored to your specific lifting needs.
LMS offers load measurement systems, designed to deliver precise and reliable data for critical lifting and rigging tasks.
Straightpoint is a Crosby-owned company, Straightpoint offers unparalleled quality in load monitoring solutions, including advanced wireless and cabled load cells designed for high accuracy and reliability.
Types of Running Line Tensioners
Running line tensioners come in various types, each designed for specific applications:
- Standard Running Line Tensioners: Ideal for general applications requiring real-time tension monitoring. These tensioners offer accurate measurements and easy integration into existing systems.
- Wireless Running Line Tensioners: Provide the convenience of wireless data transmission, allowing operators to monitor tension remotely, enhancing safety and operational efficiency. Wireless models, such as the Straightpoint TIMH, measure tension, line speed, and distance without the need for cumbersome cables, capable of operating at distances up to 700 meters. Constructed from marine-grade stainless steel, these tensioners are ideal for offshore and marine environments.
- Cabled Running Line Tensioners: Cabled options provide reliable tension measurement in environments where wireless technology may not be feasible. These devices are often used in construction and heavy-lifting operations, where continuous monitoring is essential. They make sure accurate data transmission through direct connections, making them suitable for high-interference environments.
- Submersible Running Line Tensioners: Designed for underwater applications, providing reliable performance in harsh marine environments. Essential for offshore oil and gas operations and underwater construction, these tensioners are built to withstand extreme conditions and provide precise measurements even when submerged.
- Floating Running Line Tensioners: These tensioners allow wire rope to move through them without interference, making them ideal for applications where a dead end is not available. They measure cable tension by detecting small deflections in the rope, providing accurate readings without affecting the rope's spooling. This design is particularly useful in dynamic applications where the rope is continuously in motion.
