Abstract

The micro-vibration of overhead transmission lines often leads to conductor fatigue and damage to hardware, and the reliability of the connection of vibration dampers is of vital importance. To prevent loosening and detachment during operation, this study investigated the slippage mechanism of vibration dampers’ wire clamps under dynamic loads. The static friction coefficient was measured through the pull-off force experiment, and the dynamic sliding characteristics of the two types of clamp covers (pressure block type and hinge type) under different vibration conditions were systematically tested. The experiments showed that vibration significantly reduces the dynamic friction force, resulting in a “friction reduction effect”. The pressure block type structure is prone to slip under low tightening torque, while the hinge type structure has excellent anti-loosening performance due to its lever amplification design. The study clarified that the tightening torque, vibration parameters, and structural form are the key influencing factors, providing a basis for the optimization design and installation of anti-vibration dampers.
