AFL’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 motion particular to bundled conductors experiencing moderate to high crosswinds. It takes various forms based on the bundle configuration and winds that occur. Damage can result due to conductor clashing or wear of attachment hardware, and thus it is important to protect against it. AFL 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 AFL Technical Support Team. Spacers for T2 Conductors AFL has developed a special clamp insert that allows the speed grip spacer to be firmly secured to a T2 conductor. See page 394 for an illustration of the spacer and the attachment. Please contact our engineering department for applications involving T2 Conductor. High Temperature Applications The Standard Bushings have a maximum temperature of 125°C. AFL has designed a special clamp insert to withstand the elevated temperatures of high temperature conductors. Two units are currently available for 200°C and 250°C. The 200°C unit is designated by adding the suffix “MT” to the part number. (i.e. 3326MT). The 250°C unit is designated by adding “HT” to the part number. (i.e. 3326HT). See page 337 for information on the HiTemp ® Speed-Grip Spacers—3300HT Series. Please contact our engineering department for performance data on these two units.

Example: For 795 Drake ACSS Conductor (1.108" diameter) operating at 250°C, the Speed-Grip Spacer catalog number would be: 3310 HT Note: Installation instructions for Speed-Grip Spacers are on page 402. The Speed-Grip Spacer comes fully assembled with no loose parts. The wedge lock break-away bolt requires no special tools to tighten. Unless otherwise requested, standard spacing is 18 inches. Range Code BLANK = Standard (125°C max.) MT = Medium Temperature (200°C max.) HT = High Temperature (250°C max.)
