Variable Model Hydraulic Tensioners
Hydraulic tensioning is the ideal method for tightening bolted connections. Hydraulic tensioning eliminates inaccuracies and helps achieve correct bolt loading in critical connections. At HTI, we’ve been building hydraulic tensioners and nuts since 1986.
What are Variable Hydraulic Tensioners?
Variable stud tensioner models allow the tensioning of different bolt/stud sizes or thread forms, while utilizing a common load cell. All of this is necessary to change out the pullers and bridges to accommodate a different size. The versatility of the variable hydraulic tensioner keeps tool inventory to a minimum.
Like fixed model stud tensioners, HTI’s variable models are simple to operate and maintain, designed and built using Total Quality Assurance, and provide extremely dependable operation. Variable model tensioners offer the additional cost-effectiveness and flexibility of working on a variety of studs.
Custom Engineered Tensioners Since 1986
HTI has been designing engineered solutions to your toughest bolt tensioning problems since 1986! You can choose from one of our standard catalog sizes above, or we can design a custom fixed tensioner for any application when a standard model won’t work. HTI tensioners can be designed for imperial or metric-sized studs, high loads, high temperatures, large stud sizes or corrosive environments. Our multi-unit tensioning systems can make easy work of large bolted systems, and our automated tensioning systems can reduce labor and increase throughput in high-volume manufacturing applications.
