Understanding The Importance of Cable Lubricants
Extensive cable networks are the backbone of efficient utility supply. The thick and heavy cables are expensive and must be handled with care to ensure their long life. The longevity of cables also largely depends on proper installation and maintenance. Cables get damaged if not installed properly, compromising overall efficiency. They are pulled through conduits across great distances, both overhead and underground. The generation of friction is common during cable pulling. Utility supply contractors use cable lubricants to prevent damage due to uncontrolled friction. We discuss more about this below. Please read until the end to make an informed decision.
AMAC Equipment Limited Supplies The Best Cable Lubricants
Speeds Up Cable Installation
Time is of the essence for utility supply projects. Contractors are always looking to boost efficiency and ensure quick turnaround of projects. Our lubricants speed up the cable installation process by greasing the conduit’s inner walls. This makes the conduit slippery and easy for cables to be pulled through great distances without being damaged. Using ample lubricant ensures there are no dry patches inside the conduits to slow down the process.
Prevents Damage
Unchecked friction is dangerous as it leads to overheating. This can potentially lead to fire, damaging cables, conduits, and personnel. Using top-quality cable lubricants eliminates the risk of overheating due to friction. There are different types of lubricants available in the market. AMAC Equipment Limited supplies the best lubricants in Canada. You can talk to our staff for the best recommendations.
