Bolt Tensioners

HexForce™ Bolt Tensioners - Hydraulic Nut

HexForce™ hydraulic nuts revolutionize large bolt tensioning, offering a safe, efficient, and precise solution. This nut features an internal jack with an external locking collar. Pressure creates a gap between the nut and collar due to joint compression, gasket presence (if applicable), and bolt elongation.

The nut is pressurized above the desired preload, then the collar is tightened. Releasing pressure transfers the load to the collar, but some pre-load loss occurs due to collar thread settling. This loss is more significant with shorter bolts.

Why choose HexForce™ Hydraulic Nut Tensioners?
  • Maximum Tensioner Load (kN) / (tonf): 6548 / 657.2
  • Minimum Tensioner Load (kN) / (tonf): 152 / 15.2
  • Bolt Thread Size (metric) / (imperial): 7/8" / M22 - M150
  • Weight (kg): 0.7 - 88.7
Features
  • Built for Confined Spaces:
  • Compact Design for Tight Areas: Access limited spaces with ease. The compact design of HexForce™ hydraulic nuts allows for unobstructed operation even in confined environments.:
  • Self-Aligning and Low Load Loss (Shim Type): Simplify installation and minimize preload loss with the self-aligning design and low load loss characteristics (especially with shim type nuts). This translates to fewer installation challenges and more consistent results.
  • Eliminate Thread Damage: Say goodbye to thread damage caused by traditional tightening methods. HexForce™ hydraulic nuts apply controlled pressure**, ensuring the integrity of your bolts during the entire process.
  • Even and Accurate Pre-Load: Achieve precise and consistent bolt tension every time through the controlled application of hydraulic pressure.
  • Confined Space Friendly: The compact design allows for operation in restricted areas, maximizing versatility.
