| Spacers: Speed-Grip Spacers |
|
Spacers are necessary on horizontal bundle construction to prevent damage from wake-induced oscillation, ice unloading and short circuit clashing. ACA ’s Speed-Grip™ Spacer employs elastomer bushed clamps to firmly grip the conductor. It is specially designed to allow rapid installation without special tools.
What is wake-induced oscillation?
Wake-Induced oscillation is a swinging motion, like a pendulum, that is caused when wind blows across a bundle of conductors. As the conductors move back and forth, there is a potential of the conductors to touch, thus causing significant damage. ACA has been researching oscillation to understand it and has developed improved accessories to control it.

Features:
Fully Assembled
The Speed-Grip Spacer is ready for immediate installation. The bushings are seated, frames interlocked and the wedge-lock bolt in place.
Quick Installation
With no loose parts, whether from a helicopter, spacer cart or bucket, the Speed-Grip spacer takes seconds to install.
No Special Tools
With the wedge-lock breakaway bolt, no special tool or torque wrench is needed. Simply tighten the bolt until the head shears off, indicating proper torque has been achieved.
Customized Design
The Speed-Grip Spacer is designed with a standard 18 inch spacing. For applications requiring other spacing dimensions, contact the ACA Technical Support Team.
