Why Tensioning?

Safe, reliable and repeatable, the use of hydraulic tensioners has many advantages over other less accurate tightening methods:

• Tension is applied directly to stretch the bolt, so we don't need to fight against friction or losses.
• The applied load is controlled very accurately, because it is directly proportional to the pressure applied to the tensioner.
• The load transfer factor is calculable, helping to give the correct residual load.
• Operation of tooling and improved accuracy reduces time required to retighten the load.
• Tensioning allows for loading multiple fasteners in a joint at the same time.
• Uniform bolt loading ensures a high level of accuracy by applying a consistant force.
• Purely axial, tensile loading ensures no torsional stresses are introduced.

Features :

• Technotorc hydraulic bolt tensioners have eight load cells from M16 to M150 or from ⅝" to 5¾"
• Twin ports for quick connection of multiple tools
• Only one size of bridge per size of load cell
• Detachable and rotational bridge simplifies bolt tensioner positioning
• Full bridge window
• Black surface treatment protects against corrosion
• Anti-slip grip for more secure handling
• Universal and multi-use tool.
