The hydraulic nut consists essentially of an internally threaded cylinder, a piston and a splitted spacer plate. The hydraulic nut will be pressurized up to the desired pre-tensioning force. This creates a gap between the piston and cylinder corresponding to the elongation and compression of the components. In this calculated gap the corresponding spacer plate…

By the feature of the exchangeable tension nut we create in common with a hydraulic cylinder and multiple supplementary sets, an assembly tool for bolts and nuts used in general engineering. It is highly cost effective, for example if for a machine, a tool for different thread sizes is necessary.

This purely axial method allows engaging the tensioning force exactly into the connection. The optimization of assembly time is the biggest benefit. Due to the automatic bolt tensioner eliminates time-consuming screwing and unscrewing. The resulting time saving of the tensioning is approximately 50%.
