Benefits Of Hydraulic Bolt Tensioning Equipment

Using a hydraulic bolt tensioning equipment tool allows for the rapid, easy, and safe preloading of large-diameter bolts to high tensions. Unlike impact wrenches, flogging spanners, and hydraulic torque wrenches, which all share friction as an enemy, this tool doesn't need tension or vigorous twisting of nuts or bolts.

Hydraulic bolt tensioners are annular jacks that slip over the fastener and nut to be tightened. The jack applies pressure to the secured joint while simultaneously pulling on the end of the bolt. The force generated by the jack is transmitted directly to the end of the bolt, causing a strain in the shank that is equal to the load.

 While the jack is applying tension, you may spin the nut until it is tight without using any torque. When it happens, the jack stops applying pressure, and the bolt stays in the shank for a considerable time.

Exactness -

Bolt load tolerance precision is quite good, often exceeding 5%. No lubrication or frictional loss considerations are necessary. Easy to predict, prevent overloading, and distribute workload.

Quickness -

The tools are pretty easy to set up and utilize. Simultaneous tensioning allows for the hydraulic activation of many bolt tensioners simultaneously.

Regularity -

Tensing many bolts simultaneously guarantees that each bolt will get the same applied force.

Security

Issues with reaction or pinch points not detected. The industry-required bolt-tight systems are less secure.

Adaptability

With the fitting adapter kits, a single tensioning kit may often accommodate various bolting sizes.

Efficiency In The Business World

Hydraulic bolt tensioning provides operational value to the customer by combining the mentioned features.

Trustworthy And Accurate Stud Loading

Tightening using hydraulic studs and hydraulic tensioners is simple in principle and practice. A hydraulic stud tensioner is an unusual kind of hydraulic cylinder. A stud's tension is proportional to the hydraulic cylinder's area and the hydraulic pressure of the pump. The stud tensioning is spot on since we keep an eye on these things. Hydraulic tensioners make it easy and consistent to load and tighten studs accurately.

Filling Equitable Studs

In applications using gaskets, it is essential to load each stud uniformly. It recommends using numerous Hydraulic Stud Tensioners for situations requiring multiple studs. These hydraulic tensioners are fastened to the pump from the inside. As the hydraulic pressure increases, the stress on each stud remains constant, resulting in a uniform and simultaneous flange coming together.

Security And Usability

Both hydraulic stud and bolt tensioners and hydraulic tensioners have a high power-to-weight ratio. Their weight, portability, and ease of use make them superior to torque tools. One operator can easily handle most applications.

The operator separately operates the hydraulic tensioner's load cell, puller bar, and bridge. In many cases, the combined weight of the hydraulic wrench and socket is much more than the weight of either of these individual components, even when considering the same stud size and tightening capabilities.

Hydraulic studs and bolt tensioners are more desirable than slugging wrenches or bolt warmers because of their reduced noise and increased safety. Hydraulic pumps that run on air or by hand are inherently explosion-proof.

Prolonged Lifespan Of Stump

Hydraulic stud tensioning prevents thread galling and seizing. Hydraulic tensioners eliminate galling by reducing the high contact pressures the threads and nut contact surfaces feel.
