MX2

The MAXTENSOR® MX2 connector and tensioner is specially designed for joining and tensioning wires in vineyards, orchard trellises and livestock fences.

MAXTENSOR® products can be used both in new installations and for repairing damaged sections.

It has a small separation between cables that facilitates their conduction and tensioning, allowing the tool to be placed comfortably, as well as protecting the wires against accelerated corrosion points.

The MAXTENSOR® MX2 connector and tensioner allows you to retension the wire as many times as necessary.

Maximum reliability

The internal mechanism of the MAXTENSOR® MX2 connector and tensioner allows the wire to advance freely in the direction of the arrow and to immediately lock when pulled in the opposite direction.

It is designed to feed the wire easily, smoothly and quickly to save installation time; with a strong locking mechanism; and with an ergonomic geometry to facilitate its manipulation.

Patented system

Technology tested and validated around the world and in all types 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 quality levels.

Easy to install

How to insert the wires

Connectors and tensioners have two opposite inlet holes through which wires are inserted ⁽²⁾.

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

How to tighten the wires

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

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

Recommendations for use

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.
