Tensioning Devices by UltraTec®

Invisiware® Receiver

  • Tensioner can be concealed inside metal or wood post

The Invisiware® receiver is designed to be used with our swaging stud. When the appropriate receiver is selected for a particular type and size of end post, the result is a tensioning mechanism that is hidden within the end post itself. Only the head area of the receiver will be exposed outside of the post. The head area is the domed shaped end of the receiver that is larger than the body of the receiver. It acts as a shoulder to support the tension of the cable as it is tightened. The outside of the domed head is broached with a hex broach to accept an Allen wrench to tension the cable.
Pipe end posts are counterbored to receive the head and to minimize its exposure on the outside of the post. On flat-sided end posts, the head rests flush against the surface of the post.
The Invisiware® receiver can be used on stair pitches up to approximately 35º without drilling end posts on an angle. We include a plastic washer to act as a scratch resistant barrier between the head of the receiver and the surface of the post.

Adjust-a-Jaw® Tensioner

 

  • Use on straight run or stairs

The Adjust-A-Jaw® tensioner is a clevis style fitting that provides a considerable amount of take-up. The Adjust-A-Jaw® tensioner has four different elements: the clevis; the body; the lock nut; and the swaging ferrule (ordered separately).
The clevis has a male thread that mates with a female thread within the body. The lock nut locks the male thread into place against the body after the assembly is properly tensioned. When the swaging ferrule is swaged onto the cable, it holds the body to the cable while also allowing the body to rotate on the cable during tensioning.
The Adjust-A-Jaw® tensioner is the most streamlined clevis style adjusting mechanism available for its stated cable size. It is ideally suited for stair pitches and is also a very attractive fitting if you want the “high-tech” look of exposed stainless steel hardware on level runs as well as on stairways.
