HYDRAULIC BOLT TENSIONING
TorqLite’s innovative solutions enable simultaneous tightening and loosening of multiple bolts using high-pressure hydraulics. Our bolt tensioners achieve precise, speedy, and uniform bolt stretching, ensuring accuracy without friction.
How To Use a Hydraulic Tensioner
- Attach the tensioner to the bolt or stud.
- Use high-pressure hydraulics to axially stretch the bolt.
- The bolt stretch creates clamping force; as the bolt stretches, the nut lifts clear of the flange.
- An access window in the tensioner allows the nut to be turned down with minimal friction.
- Releasing hydraulic pressure traps the stretch in the bolt, retaining the load.
Advantages
- Direct tensioning minimizes friction.
- The applied load is precisely controlled by hydraulic pressure.
- 20% less load loss compared to frictional torque.
- Predictable residual load ensures accuracy.
- Tensioning can be repeated for consistent results.
