Tension strand cutter
Tensioning strand cutters - safe and precise cutting of tensioning strands
What are prestressing strand cutters?
Prestressing strand cutters are specialised cutting tools for cutting protruding prestressing strands in prestressed concrete construction.
They are used to cut through high-strength prestressing steel and strand bundles safely, in a controlled manner and without deforming the material - an indispensable tool in the production and processing of prestressed concrete components.
Why are prestressing strand cutters indispensable in prestressed concrete construction?
In prestressed concrete construction, pre-stressed steel strands are used to place concrete beams, bridge elements or ceiling slabs under tensile stress. After prestressing, the protruding ends must be cut off precisely and safely - without flying sparks, impact energy or damage to the concrete surface.
This is where the prestressing strand cutters from KW Hydraulik come into play:
They ensure a clean, burr-free cutting pattern, reduce wear and increase work safety on the construction site.
What advantages do hydraulic prestressing strand cutters offer?

Hydraulically assisted cutting force for effortless work
No sparking or heating - ideal for precast concrete construction
Durable cutting blades made from hardened tool steel
Robust design for daily use on construction sites
Easy handling with compact, ergonomic shape
Where are prestressing strand cutters used?
Prestressed concrete plants: cutting and shortening prestressed reinforcing steel
Construction companies & precast element manufacturers: Processing of precast concrete elements
Bridge and civil engineering: cutting prestressing steel strands after prestressing
Maintenance & dismantling: safe removal of protruding strand ends
The range also includes cable cutters and wire rope cutters for conventional cutting applications as well as safety cutting systems for working on ACSR cables.
