Cable Pulling Tension and Sidewall Pressure Limits
Cable Pulling Tension and Sidewall Pressure Limits lookup table with assumptions and boundary notes.
Scope
Formula example only. Cable manufacturer limits, raceway condition, lubricant, bend sequence, pulling setup, and qualified review govern pull acceptance.
Lookup table
Show basic pulling-tension and sidewall-pressure arithmetic relationships for preliminary pull planning.
Scroll sideways to keep row labels aligned with hidden columns.
| Scenario | Cable weight (kg/m) | Straight length (m) | Friction coefficient | Estimated tension (N) | Bend radius (m) | Sidewall pressure (N/m) |

Notes
- Check table values for preliminary lookup and arithmetic checks only.
- Confirm equipment ratings, product markings, installation conditions, utility requirements, and the local authority requirements before design or field use.
