 Cable Tensioner Mark2
For tensioning cables and installing plates
Specifications
A light weight and unique way for pre-loading
cable bolts, the DSI Cable Tensioner Mark2 grips
the end of the cable bolt and tensions it, leaving
only a short tail protruding from the bearing plate
(approx. 6"). The Cable Tensioner is a single
hydraulic ram driven by an air/hydraulic pump or
by machine hydraulics.
• The jack weighs 25 lbs. The entire kit (jack
and pump) weighs 51lbs.
• Two grip handles allow for operation by
one person.
• Unit locks on the cable, until lanyard is pulled
to release spring loaded grippers.
• Can be configured for all cable bolts, from 0.6"
to 0.7" and the DSI 0.9" HITEN cable bolt.
• Capacity: 48,500 lbs
• Bleed off: 15% i.e. cable lock-off load is 85%
of pulling force due to seating loss.
(for a typical 12' bolt)

Operation
Install the plate and wedge barrel with wedge on
the end of the cable bolt.
Push the Cable Tensioner on. It will self-lock onto
the cable.
Tension bolt to the desired load per hydraulic gage
included with the unit.
After stressing, the Cable Tensioner is easily
removed by pulling on the lanyard to release the
internal grippers.

 The Wedge Anchorage of the Cable Bolt
The anchorage of most cable bolts consists of
a wedge barrel and a 2- or 3-part wedge. The
wedge segments grip the cable by means of tooth
shaped threads which are forced into the surface
of the cable wires.

The clamping force W is highly dependent on

the friction between wedge and wedge hole.
For normal friction conditions, the clamping force
W is more than 4 times the cable pulling force V
and it adjusts with the pulling force V.

Warning: If friction increases (due to corrosion),

a larger F will reduce the clamping force. As V
increases all other forces can only increase if
the wedge can seat deeper into the barrel. If the
wedge is restrained to do so (i.e. by corrosion or
dirt-accumulation), the clamping force can not
increase with the pulling force causing slippage
when the load on the cable bolt gradually
increases during service life.
To avoid slippages during use, it is important
that the cable bolt is fully stressed at time of
installation to a force equal to 0.5 Fu. (i.e. 50%
of the capacity of the cable)
When a wedge is properly seated, radial cracks
may develop indicating adequate seating.
The wedge can be supplied with a rubber O-ring
or a metal spring ring holding the wedge segments
together.
