General Information The Condux Slip Clutch Capstan is intended to protect fiber optic or coaxial cable from being over stressed during the pulling operation. When the preset load is reached, an internal clutch will disengage, stopping the capstan from rotating and protecting the cable. Care should be taken so the capstan is not run while slipping for extended periods of time. The Condux Slip Clutch Capstan is available in 30IN (762mm), 42IN (1067mm), or 50IN (1270mm) diameters.
3. Place four or more side-by-side wraps of the pull line around the capstan in the direction of rotation, starting on the inboard side of the capstan. Do not wrap more than one layer of pull line on the capstan. 4. Apply power to the drive shaft and slowly rotate the capstan. Remove any slack or excess pull line before increasing the capstan’s speed. Attend the line coming off the capstan to avoid any tangles, and keep some tension on the line so that the capstan grips the pull line.
Removal Instructions 1. Push inward on the capstan and rotate it counterclockwise. 2. Align the capstan’s slots with the shaft’s pins and pull off. !CAUTION: HEAVY OBJECT - Use Two Person Lift. The 42IN and 50IN Slip Clutch Capstans are heavy and require two person lift and proper techniques to avoid personal injury. 3. 3. Clean the capstan and properly store it. Failure to properly store and handle the capstan will result in premature wear and failure.
B. RECALIBRATION OR CHANGING CALIBRATION SETTING NOTICE: If the capstan is field calibrated, Condux assumes no liability for incorrectly calibrated capstans resulting in damaged cable. If the factory supplied safety wire has been removed, the capstan will be considered to have been field calibrated and all warranties, implied, written or otherwise portrayed are considered null and void.
Troubleshooting Guide Problem: Solution: Pull line will not stay on the capstan. • Capstan is not properly aligned with the pull line. The pull line must be placed around the capstan at a slight angle to the edge of the capstan (see section 2.2). Capstan will not fit on the PTO shaft. • PTO Shaft is not a 27⁄16” (62 mm) diameter, AT&T specification bayonet style shaft. Capstan will only fit this type of shaft. 5. • The posts on the shaft must line up with the grooves on the capstan (see section 2.1).
