Suspension insulators are glass 'dish' insulators that are designed to take longitudinal strain -i.e. strain in the direction of the conductors. They are so-called, because they are suspended below the pole's crossarm. Suspension insulators, therefore, are used on terminal poles where the main strain on the crossarm is in the direction of the conductors, or on angle-poles where there is a sharp change in direction of the power line.
