Cable Cleats & Hangers

Following Ellis’s supply of steel work on the Wear Crossing project, Ellis Patents was approached to provide a steelwork solution for the Springhead Bridge. The main design of the bridge had been completed but the structure to support ducts that would carry power cables was still to be completed.
Members of the Ellis technical team visited the site and were provided with detailed drawings of the bridge structure. Using this data a 3D CAD model was created and a design developed to fit the requirements of the project. A challenge specific to the project was that the cable supports were all required to be of varying heights due to the geometry of the bridge. To simplify installation and eliminate the potential for confusion on site, a single design was created that offered a range of heights. The design was required to be finished in a short timescale, so off the shelf material was used. The design was then checked for strength by using a combination of hand calculations and 3D CAD. The solution was then manufactured and assembled by Ellis.

Ellis were contacted by a mine in North Yorkshire. During the early stages of the project Ellis Patents were asked to provide a solution to supporting power cables around the site. The challenge was to provide a large number of parts in a short timescale.
Ellis supplies a range of existing cable hangers but for this application a bespoke design was required. Ellis used 3D CAD to design and develop a solution. The design was validated by use of hand calculations and FEA. Manufacturing drawings were then created and the hangers were manufactured at Ellis. The complete package of hangers, posts and support rails were transported to the customers site for installation by the customer.

Ellis was approached by a customer who had a number of challenges around holding power and communications cables in a mine; the application was challenging due to the undulating nature of the wall and ceiling. Ellis Patents can offer a wide variety of bespoke cable support products including cable hangers. The corrosive nature of the mine environment was also a challenge, so it was important that the correct material was supplied.
The Ellis team reviewed each area where a cable holding solution was required, they then reviewed existing designs to see if a standard design could be used, if not a bespoke solution was created. 3D CAD models were drawn up, these were checked for strength with a combination of hand calculations and FEA. Once the design team had validated the design, manufacturing drawings were released to the production team to enable Ellis to manufacture these. To ensure long term corrosion resistance the steel parts were hot dip galvanised and then powder coated. Samples of the products were also tested to ensure strength and the correct safety factors were applied at Ellis in their site test laboratory.

Ellis were approached by a customer to supply cable hangers. Cable hangers are standard products for Ellis Patents. They can also offer bespoke cable support to suit the needs of the application.
The cable hanger location and shape had been drawn on the overall sight plan. Ellis used this information to create a design that could be used with stock material and tooling, this was done to minimise lead time for the project.
FEA and hand calculations were employed to ensure that the products were suitable to carry the required load. Detailed fabrication drawings were created complete with applicable standards. These drawings were then used to manufacture the hangers on site at Ellis. The hangers were created from structural steel, this was welded and then sent for hot dip galvanising.

The first remote-controlled cable cutter with blade position sensor from Klauke ensures armoured/unamoured LV MV HV cables are completely and cleanly cut, safely.
The 18V battery-powered hydraulic cable cutting tools ESG105RMCCFM and ESG65RMCCFM were developed in collaboration with experts from the utilities sector to find a method to cut electrical cables safely and remotely up to 70 metres.
In contrast to overhead power distribution systems, it is not always possible to trace underground cable systems, making it difficult to guarantee a voltage-free condition.
The ESG105RMCCFM (up to 105mm diameter cable cutting) and ESG65RMCCFM (up to 65mm diameter cable cutting) manufactured by Klauke are battery powered hydraulic cable cutting tools with a remote control feature to allow the user to maintain a safe distance whilst cutting cables in the following voltage classes; LV (Low Voltage), MV (Medium Voltage) and HV (High Voltage).
The remote cable cutting tools have an extremely wide cutting range and are convenient to with an ultra-lightweight design. The tools give the user confidence that everything is under control thanks to the new Klauke remote control with optimised operating elements.
The integrated LEDs display the current connection status of the tool and notify you at any time about the cutting process.
The cutting tools continuously check the position of the the patented blades. When the blades fully overlap, the tool gives out a visual and acoustic cutting confirmation from the remote control.
