ToggleWhat is Pole Band?
Pole Bands, also known as pole fastening clamp, pole band clamp, pole bracket. It is widely used in the electrical and communications fields. Used to fix brackets on utility poles, support cables or other pole line hardware.
Components of Pole Bands
In the previous article, we learned about the types of pole bands. Now I will help you to understand the components of pole bands.
The pole band is designed to perfectly fit the circular cross-section of the pole. A single clamp consists of two or four metal pieces, more secure fixing of poles and other hardware.
Steel bands – Steel bands of a pole band are assembled together to fix the pole.
Our bands come in different sizes to perfectly suit the type of rod you are purchasing.
Bolts and nuts – They are used to secure each piece of the strap together, ensuring that the strap is securely fixed to the pole.
Holes – The holes on the edge of the pole bands are mainly used to insert bolts.
Materials, technology and size of pole bands
Material type – The pole bands are made of stainless steel, galvanized steel, or aluminum alloy.
Finishing – Pole band finish is hot-dip galvanizing or powder coating.
Size – Different sizes of pole bands are used in different environments.Different lengths, widths, and thicknesses depending on your application.
Metal strength – Galvanized steel can bear high pressure and tension, so improved pole bands have high strength, which greatly increases the load capacity.
Characteristic of pole bands
Corrosion resistance – Hot-dip galvanizing or dense alumina film effectively isolates moisture from the air and reduces environmental corrosion.
High temperature resistance – The melting point of metal materials is very high, which can keep the poel bands stable and fixed in a hot environment.
Easy to install – You only need a wrench that can tighten the bolts to firmly secure the pole bands to the utility pole.
How to Install Pole Band?
It is very easy to install the pole band. Here I will introduce you how to install it more quickly.
- Gather your fastening tools such as wrenches, pliers, etc.
- Choose the right size pole band for your project.
- Assemble the equipment that needs to be fixed on the polethen bring the pole band together one by one.
- Put each band together and tighten it with bolts and nuts.
- Use tightening tools such as wrenches and pliers to further secure the bands.
