Hydraulic
Bolt Tensioner's
Hydraulic bolt tensioning is
now the preferred method of tightening bolts & stud on all
critical applications. Our PST range of bolt
tensioner's by Powermaster provides optimum solutions to
bolt tensioning requirements. PST Series bolt
tensioner's are designed for operation in a wide variety of
applications including pipeline flanges, heat exchangers,
pressure vessels, compressor covers, boilers feed pumps,
anchor bolts and many others. The PST Bolt Tensioner
is very simple to use consisting of four parts:
|

Puller |

Load Cell |

Bridge |

Nut Driver |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
Sequence of Operation
-
1. To use the hydraulic bolt tensioner the
nut-driver is placed over the nut to be torqued.
-
2. The bridge and load cell is then placed
over the bolt stud.
-
3. The Puller is then screwed over the stud
protruding above the nut face.
-
4. Desired hydraulic pressure is then
applied to load cell, which stretches the bolt.
-
5. The nut is then turned down using
nut-driver & Tommy bar. The Pressure in then released
leaving the stud loaded
to desired value.

THE PST SERIES BOLT TENSIONERS
ARE LIGHT, COMPACT & VERSATILE LINE OF
TENSIONERS WITH SOME OF THE FOLLOWING FEATURES:- |
(A)
Versatile
Design :- PST Series standard variable tensioners are
designed to provide a wide range of
flexibility, covering stud sizes 3/4” to 5.3/4”. Different
stud sizes are accommodated by simply
changing adaptor kit consisting of Puller, Bridge & Nut
Driver, while utilizing the same Load cell.
(B)
High
Strength Alloy Steel The PST Series tensioner operate
at a maximum pressure of 1500 Bar
& utilizes high strength AISI 4340 steel parts for long
lasting performance.
(C) Stroke
Indicator: - The PST Series tensioner has an
excerption stroke of 15 mm. Integral stroke
indicator allows piston stroke to be viewed & measured
indication of stroke is provisioned with
over stroke limit indication.
(D)
Safe
Design :- The PST series tensioners are designed so
that in event of over-stroke the high
pressure fluid will be released from inner side of the load
cell & thus saving the operator
from exposure.
(E)
Multi
Tensioning :- The PST Series load cell is provisioned
with two connections & this acts as
manifold for multi tensioning applications. By using
Powermaster high pressure link hoses any
number of bolt tensioner's can be connected & tightened
simultaneously. This ensures equal tightening
of all bolts in the assy. & reduce the work time.
(F)
Anti
Roll Seals :- Low frictions, anti roll seals & rigid
backup rings incorporated for improved
life & reliability.
(G)
Floating Piston :- The unique piston design allows 2º
tilt without any loss of load, preventing piston
seizure or damage of piston bore. |

Optional
Features
|
(A)
Auto
Retraction :- For additional ease of use the PST
series tensione'r can be supplied with auto
spring retraction system.
(B)
Special Fitting :- Optional fitting like bi-hex nut
driver. Special bridges, puller etc can be
supplied to customer requirement.
(C)
Customized Solutions :- Powermaster can supply not
only customized fittings but
complete tool customized to customer requirement. |
