Abstract
An affordable tension device for maintaining tension on a wire rope of a cable-based lifting system is provided. The tension device has an elongated casting weight adapted to govern the casting weight as it rides along a predetermined wire rope for maintaining tension thereon. The tension device provides a clevis with a sheave for operatively associating with the tension wire rope.
Claims8
A tension device for maintaining tension of a wire rope of a cable-based lifting system by travelling along said wire rope, comprising:
- a substantially cylindrical elongated casting body extending from a first end to a second end, defining an elongated ratio of a length to a width;
- and
- a sheave coupled to the first end, wherein the second end has no connections thereby facilitating the elongated casting body travelling along a wire rope.
A tension device for maintaining tension of a wire rope of a cable-based lifting system, comprising:
- a substantially cylindrical elongated casting body extending from a first end to a second end, defining an elongated ratio of a length to a width of approximately 3:1, wherein the length ranges between 13 and 15 inches, and wherein the elongated casting body has a mass in the range of 25 to 35 pounds;
- a sheave coupled to the first end, wherein the second end has no connections thereby facilitating the elongated casting body travelling along a wire rope;
- and
- a clevis interconnecting the first end and the sheave.
