Industrial tank and flange fasteners have high precision and fastening force when sealing, and professional tools are required to complete the installation and removal nuts. As a high-precision, non-destructive installation and disassembly tool, the hydraulic bolt tensioner solves the fastening problem of bolts and nuts in industrial settings.

Hydraulic bolt tensioner principle:

The working principle of the hydraulic tensioner is to use the hydraulic cylinder to directly apply external force to the bolt, so that the bolt under the applied force is elongated in its elastic deformation zone, and the diameter of the bolt is slightly deformed, so that the nut is easy to loosen.

Hydraulic bolt tensioner usage process:

The hydraulic tensioner mounts the position of the central axis of the bolt to stretch the bolt axially to achieve the amount of tension required by the bolt, and it is this amount of tension that determines the clamping force required for bolt fastening. When the bolt is stretched, the nut will come off the contact surface of the flange, and there is an opening at the lower end of the hydraulic tensioner for the operator to manually turn the nut, usually the rotation of the nut is achieved by a metal pick stick to pluck a pick ring outside the hex nut (or directly pluck the round nut). After removing the oil pressure in the hydraulic tensioner, the nut and the joint surface are tightly attached, thus locking the axial deformation of the bolt, that is, locking the remaining bolt load in the nut.

Stretcher Advantages:

Space saving: Because the tensioner only needs to exert force on the bolt, it is possible to stretch the bolt in the minimum space, so that the nut can be tightened.

Precise stretching: Since the tensile force can be calculated by the bolt specification, the tensioner can be designed with various factors in mind in advance, and the tightness of the nut can be obtained with the minimum deformation of the bolt when used.

The manufacturer of the cable stretcher monitors the product material, design, and process process, and the stretcher produced meets the customer's use requirements, and can be customized according to the customer's on-site needs, so that the product is closer to the actual use requirements of the user.
