Cable Pulling Principles

Pulling cable is a complex process. This section of

the manual describes and explains four main topics of

pulling cable:

• each cable pulling system component

• how these components work together

• forces that are generated

• procedures for the cable puller operator to follow

While reading through this section of the manual, look

for components that are shaded in the illustrations. The

shading indicates components that are associated with

the text.

Greenlee strongly recommends that each member of

the cable pulling crew review this section of the manual

before each cable pull.

Cable Pulling Systems

Pulling cable requires a system of components. At a

minimum, a cable pulling system will include a cable

puller, a cable pulling rope, and connectors to join the

rope to the cable. Most systems will also include, but

are not limited to, a cable puller anchoring system,

pulling sheaves and sheave anchoring systems.

The cable puller has a maximum amount of pulling

force, which is the amount of pulling tension that it

develops. Every other component of the pulling system

has a maximum rated capacity, which is the amount

of pulling tension that it can withstand. The maximum

rated capacity of every component must meet or

exceed the cable puller’s maximum pulling force.

Cable Pulling Principles (cont’d)

Cable Pulling Theory Illustrated

Pulling Theory

This section introduces the main ideas involved with

pulling cable.

Pulling Resistance

The cable puller must overcome two types of resistance:

gravity and friction.

Gravity constantly exerts its force on the vertical

portions of the run. When the pulling force is relaxed,

gravity attempts to pull the cable downward. Friction

develops where the cable contacts the sheaves, conduit

and tray. Friction resists any movement, forward or

backward, and tends to hold the cables in place.

To accomplish a cable pull, the cable pulling system

must develop more force than the combination of

gravity and friction.

Generating Pulling Force

To generate pulling force, the capstan works as a

force multiplier. The operator exerts a small amount

of force on the rope. The cable puller multiplies this

and generates the pulling force.

This pulling force is applied to the rope, connectors,

and cable in order to accomplish the pull. The direc-

tion of force is changed, where necessary, with pulling

sheaves.

Pulling Force at the Cable Puller’s Anchoring System

Cable Pulling Forces

This section provides detailed explanations and illustra-

tions of the forces that are generated during the cable

pull. These explanations are based on the concepts

presented in the last section, Pulling Theory.

At the Cable Puller Anchoring System

The cable puller will exert its maximum pulling force on

cable puller’s anchoring system. It is extremely import-

ant the anchoring system can withstand this amount of

force. Refer to “Typical Setup: Floor Mount” for proper

setup or installation.

Cable Pulling Principles (cont’d)

Cable Pulling Forces (cont’d)

At the Capstan

The capstan acts as a force multiplier. The operator

exerts a small amount of tension, or tailing force, on the

rope; the capstan multiplies this force to pull the cable.

The resultant force depends upon the number of times

the rope is wrapped around the capstan, as shown in

the formula below.

Pulling Force = Tailing Force x e

0.0175µø

Where: e = the natural logarithm, or 2.7183

µ = the coefcient of friction between the

rope and the capstan*

ø = the number of degrees of wrap of rope

around the capstan

* The average value for the coefcient of friction when

double-braided composite rope is pulled over a clean

dry capstan is 0.125.

The following table is based on the formula above.

The input, or tailing force, is constant at 44.5 N (10 lb).

Increasing the number of wraps increases

the pulling force.

This table shows how the capstan acts as a force

multiplier. Because the coefcient of friction depends

upon the condition of the rope and capstan, this formula

cannot determine an exact amount of pulling force.

Cable Pulling Principles (cont’d)

Stored Energy

Cable Pulling Forces (cont’d)

At the Pulling Rope

The product of a force (f) moving through a distance

(d) is energy (f x d), and may be measured in newton-

meters or foot-pounds. Energy is stored in a rope when

the rope is stretched. This is similar to the way energy is

stored in a rubber band when it is stretched. Failure of

the rope or any other component of the pulling system

can cause a sudden uncontrolled release of the energy

stored in the rope.

For example, a 100-meter nylon rope with a 50,000

newton average breaking strength could stretch 40

meters and store 1,000,000 joules of energy. This is

enough energy to throw a 900-kilogram object, such as

a small automobile, 113 meters into the air.

A similar double-braided composite rope could store

approximately 300,000 joules of energy. This could

throw the same object only 34 meters into the air.

The double-braided composite rope stores much less

energy and has much less potential for injury if it were to

break.

Double-braided composite rope is the only type of

rope recommended for use with the Ultra Tugger cable

puller. Select a double-braided composite rope with

an average rated breaking strength of at least 143 kN

(32,000 lb).

Cable Pulling Principles (cont’d)

Cable Pulling Forces (cont’d)

At the Connectors

The connectors will be subjected to the cable puller’s

maximum pulling force.

Several types of rope connectors—clevises, swivels,

and rope-to-swivel connectors—are available. Follow

the instructions provided with each to provide a good

connection.

Two types of wire connectors—wire grips and pulling

grips—are available. The wire grip uses a set screw

to clamp onto the conductors of the cable. The pulling

grip consists of a wire mesh basket that slides over

the cable and grips the insulation.

When selecting a pulling grip, it is extremely important

to select a grip of the correct (1) type, (2) size, and (3)

maximum rated capacity.

1. Select the correct type based on the descriptions

of each type in the Greenlee catalog.

2. Measure the circumference of the wire bundle.

(To do this accurately, fasten a tie strap around the

bundle. Cut off and discard the tail. Then cut the tie

strap and measure its length.). Use the table pro-

vided to nd the correct size.

3. See the maximum rated capacities in the Greenlee

catalog.

Cable Pulling Principles (cont’d)

Typical Resultant Force at Sheave

Cable Pulling Forces (cont’d)

At the Sheaves

Sheaves are used to change the direction of the pull.

A change in direction creates a new resultant force

that may be greater than the cable puller’s maximum

pulling force. This new resultant force exerts itself on the

sheaves, sheave anchoring system, and support struc-

tures illustrated.

The resultant amount of force depends on the angle of

the change in direction. A brief table is provided here.

Refer to “Calculating the Hook Load” to determine the

resultant force at any angle.

Formula 1:

R = 2 x T x SIN ((180 – θ) / 2)

R – the resultant force, or hook load; this force is exerted on the hook, anchoring and structural support

θ – the angle of change in rope direction

T – the tension exerted on the rope by the cable puller

Note: The total load on the support structure = R + the weight of the sheave.
