Bolt Tensioners
Do you need to apply a specific tension to a bolt?
Bolt tensioners are used to apply a specific tension to a bolt. Bolt tensioners are mechanical fasteners and allow for more precise tightening of bolts. A uniform load can be applied by tensioning multiple studs simultaneously. The device may be either removed once the actual nut is threaded into place, or left in place, in the case of a hydraulic nut.

Frequent Questions
Bolt tensioners are used to apply a specific, controlled tension to bolts, ensuring precise tightening and uniform load distribution across multiple studs.
Yes, the device may be removed once the nut is threaded into place, or it can be left in place if using a hydraulic nut for continued tensioning.
Bolt tensioners work by applying a controlled load to the bolt, either mechanically or hydraulically, to achieve the desired tension before securing the nut.
Bolt tensioners provide more accurate and uniform tightening, reduce the risk of bolt failure, and improve safety and reliability in bolted assemblies.
Proper tensioning ensures the integrity of bolted joints, prevents leaks or failures, and prolongs the lifespan of the equipment.
