23-3 Tension Rod Assembly
Adjustable tension rod linking anchor base and compensation device in tunnel systems.
Specifications
| Model | 23-3 |
|---|---|
| Standard | TB/T 2075.23-2024, Fittings for overhead contact system of electrification railway — Part 23: Tunnel anchoring compensation devices |
| Installation | Between the anchor base and the compensation device, carrying and transmitting the anchor tension |
The 23-3 tension rod assembly connects the anchor base to the compensation device in a tunnel anchoring system, transmitting the full anchoring tension while allowing the assembly length to be fine-tuned during installation.
Manufactured to TB/T 2075.23-2024, Fittings for overhead contact system of electrification railway — Part 23: Tunnel anchoring compensation devices, the assembly consists of a forged rod body, end fittings and a central adjuster. One end carries an eye connection, the other a clevis (tongue) connection, matching the 23-2 anchor base and the compensation device interfaces; the central adjuster sets the exact length so the system installs to design geometry.
The rod body is forged and hot-dip galvanized for the tunnel environment, and the adjusting mechanism operates smoothly and locks securely once set.
Henan Chuangwit Railway Equipment Co., Ltd. supplies the 23-3 under CRCC certification together with bases, anchor arms and pulleys as the complete tunnel anchoring package.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the tension rod assembly have an adjuster?
The central turnbuckle-style adjuster fine-tunes the rod length during installation so the anchoring system reaches its design geometry exactly.
What end fittings are provided?
An eye connection on one end and a clevis (tongue) connection on the other, matching the base and compensation device interfaces.
Is the rod suitable for the full anchor tension?
Yes — the forged rod body carries the anchoring tension of the system, with length adjustment for installation only, not for ongoing tension changes.
Performance
Operating Conditions
Service in railway tunnels and confined anchoring points, with limited space for counterweight travel and reduced maintenance access.
Mechanical Performance
Forged rod with eye and clevis ends and a length adjuster transmits the anchor tension; turnbuckle-style adjustment sets the assembly geometry precisely.
Applications
Tension Path
Links anchor base to the compensation device.
Length Adjustment
Adjuster sets the assembly geometry.
