Maximum reliability

The internal mechanism of the MAXTENSOR® MX2-HT joiner and tensioner allows the wire to move freely in the direction of the arrow and lock immediately when pulled in the opposite direction.

It is designed for easy, smooth and fast wire entry to save installation time; with a strong locking mechanism; and with an ergonomic geometry to facilitate handling.

Patented system

Technology tested and validated around the world and in all kinds of weather conditions.

With millions and millions of units sold worldwide, the patented MAXTENSOR® system satisfies even the most demanding users throughout the world.

Manufactured in the European Union under strict specifications and high levels of quality.

Easy to install

How to insert the wires

Joiners and tensioners have two opposite entry holes through which the wires are inserted ⁽²⁾.

(2) Important: Leave a minimum length of 10 cm from the free end of the wire to the exit hole of the tensioner (see image).

How to release and adjust the wire

The MAXTENSOR®MX2-HT joiner and tensioner can be adjusted ⁽³⁾ and retensioned the wire as many times as necessary.

(3) As long as the wire is free of tension

To do this, it has a small hole on each side of the body, through which the MX-HDI or MX-HDIM tools are inserted.

By inserting these tools and pressing slightly into the hole, the wire is released in such a way that it can be adjusted or removed again.

There are two models of MAXTENSOR® tools available for wire release:

MX-HDI

Simple and functional tool.
Recommended for moderate use.

MX-HDIM

Tool designed to be able to operate in any working position, with a straight termination and a 90º angle. With ergonomic handle for easy grip. Recommended for intensive use.

How to tighten the wires

After insertion of the wires, the wires can be tensioned by pulling on one of them with the MAXTENSOR® MX-AC tensioning tool.

Save up to 70% of time with MAXTENSOR® compared to traditional joining systems.

There are two models of MAXTENSOR® tensioning tools available:

MX-Fv

Made of polymer and steel core.
For moderate use.
Recommended maximum load 150 kg.

Use recommendations

MAXTENSOR® products can be used for a wide range of wires for agricultural and livestock use.

It is recommended to consult the technical department of Maxtensor Internacional S.L. on which would be the most suitable product depending on the application and the type of wire used.

Do not use the product outside the recommended diameter range.

Do not exceed the load limit of any product.

The indicated load limit is a static load value, and depends on the type of wire and diameter used.

If you think the product will be subjected to high loads, use wire diameters close to the maximum value of the range indicated on the product.

The dynamic loads produced by the wind, impacts, vibrations, can significantly increase the service loads on the wire.

It should be taken into account that dirt, chemicals and insects, among others, inside the product can jeopardize the proper functioning of the product.

Leave a minimum length of 10 cm from the free end of the wire to the outlet hole of the product.

Secure the free ends of excess wire.

Regularly check the status of the installation.
