How To Select Your Hydraulic Bolting Tool?

Numerous hydraulic and mechanical fastening equipment offer accurate and effective force to increase the productivity and safety of your operation. Air Solution’s bolting equipment and tools provide the best solution for your task, from joint assembly to controlled tightening torque wrench pumps to joint separation.

What is a hydraulic bolting tool?

The hydraulic tool for bolting is also referred to as a hydraulic torque wrench or a hydraulic bolt tensioner. It is a tool to tighten or loosen bolts using high-quality and precise force. It uses the pressure of hydraulics to create torque and then applies that torque to the bolt, ensuring proper and accurate tightening of bolts. The tools for bolting hydraulically are available in wide varieties, such as Hydraulic torque wrenches and hydraulic splitters for nuts, each specifically designed for bolted joint types.

It is easy to select hydraulic bolting tools by following a few simple steps. These are the steps to help you choose hydraulic bolts.

STEP 1 -Torque

Choose the motor head cylinder or the T tool based on the torque needed.

STEP 2 – Application

Choose the appropriate link based on the cylinder that powers your power and the required hexagonal bolt’s diameter.

STEP 3 – Pump

Choose the right pump based on the amount of torque needed and the amount of usage.

STEP 4 – Hose / Accessories

Choose the hose length and the accessories based on the purpose of use.

Working on the bolting tool

The operation of the hydraulic bolting tool is based on various key elements and procedures. Here’s a quick outline of the way these tools work:

• This tool for hydraulic bolting, is powered by the motor or hydraulic system. The pump produces high-pressure hydraulic fluid, which can make the necessary force to tighten the bolts or loosen them.

• A hydraulic fluid is delivered by the pump into the tool for bolting via a hydraulic hose or line. This connection is flexible and allows hydraulic pressure to get to the instrument.

• The hydraulic bolting device consists of a cylinder made of a hydraulic or wrench head, accountable for applying tension or torque onto the bolt. The precise design and layout of the tool are determined by what type of bolting process it is designed for (e.g., the hydraulic torque wrench or the hydraulic tensioner).

• To counteract the force of rotation produced through the tool’s hydraulic, an arm of reaction or reaction point is needed. This will ensure that the instrument remains in place in operation and keeps it from moving or rotating.

• Tools for hydraulic bolting come with a control mechanism that permits users to regulate hydraulic pressure and control the force applied to the bolt. This control mechanism may comprise pressure gauges, valves, and other features for adjustment.

• If you use the hydraulic torque wrench, the tool is positioned on the bolt’s head or nut, and hydraulic pressure is applied to create the force of rotation to make the bolt tighter or looser. For tensioners that use hydraulics, the device is typically placed around the bolt and uses tensioning power to extend the bolt to the level desired.

• Advanced hydraulic bolting tools might include tension or torque monitoring systems. These tools provide real-time feedback on the application of force, ensuring accurate and precise tightening or tensioning per the specifications you want.
