SPX Flow Power Team – Puller

Post by: Admin

This particular model is from the SPX Flow - Power Teams PR series, specifically the PR2100J model. In this picture the puller was operated by Cerco for RTA - Dubai Metro last month, with great feedback and results.

The PR series has a range of benefits that makes it stand out from the crowd, most noticeably its functionality. Its simple, fast, one man operable design not only increases its portability but increases your productivity on any job.

From that the PR series can be tailored to your needs, with both sling and jack models available it can be matched with any job required. Moreover our specialised team of sales engineers will guide you through the process of matching your needs with the correct product. Simply contact us through our website or social media platforms and we will be happy to assist you.

24H Series Dubai Race – Car Sponsorship

Post by: Admin

We are pleased to announce that we are the official sponsor of one of the cars racing in the 24H Series Dubai. The event will take place from the 11th to the 13th of January 2018 at the Dubai Autodrome. The team we are sponsoring are ‘KTM MMotorsport Australia’ with Justin McMillan driving the amazing KTM X-BOW (2000cc).

The 24H series is a worldwide racing competition, travelling to circuits all over the world so it should be a good one. Attached is a link to the site itself which includes the event standings and who else will be taking part: http://bit.ly/2BuZilD

Torque Wrenches Vs Tensioners

Post by: Admin

Torque wrenches and bolt tensioners are among the most common way of tightening large bolts.

In most cases, bolts wind up under more stress and need to provide more clamping force as the equipment grows more powerful or heavier. When dealing with larger bolts, hydraulic wrenches or tensioners are necessary to tighten bolts to a point that they’ve created sufficient clamping force.

Bolts can provide support to the objects they are clamping; their main purpose is to deliver clamping force. This force comes from the spring tension intrinsic to the tightened bolt. As the bolt is tightened, it undergoes a microscopic stretching. But the bolt’s original make-up includes an elasticity of material that leads it to want to revert to its shape before this stretching occurred. This tension leads to the clamping force, and works to prevent loosening with the help of the friction from the bolt’s threads.

Therefore, guaranteeing and maintaining proper clamping force will ensure that enough spring tension is created in a bolt upon tightening. Torque wrenches and bolt tensioners each create this spring tension by stretching bolts, although they use different methods to get to that goal.

Bolt Tensioners

A bolt tensioner preloads a bolt and stretches it before a nut is installed. The tensioner gets held to the threads of the bolt and pushes against the flange of the surface that is being bolted. By doing this, the tensioner provides a steady amount of stretch to the bolt, thus making sure the bolt receives consistent stretch and clamping force.

There is a downside to using bolt tensioners, in that the user needs to consider a number of factors in selecting a tensioner with each application. This Includes;

  • The size of the nut
  • The diameter of the bolt
  • The thickness of the washer
  • The washer diameter
  • The bolt grade and load requirement
  • The free stud protrusion length

With a tensioner, the amount of bolt stretch is regulated by the hydraulic pressure applied to the tool. Because the bolt will be pre-stretched by the tensioner, the user will need a minimal amount of torque to tighten the nut on the stud. The clamping pressure needed comes from the release of the tensioner, which allows the bolt’s innate elasticity to supply clamping pressure

Torque Wrenches

A torque wrench generates spring tension through the amount of rotational force it applies to a bolt. As the wrench applies this force, the threading pulls the nut face and bolt head close, stretching the bolt and generating clamping force. It’s the most commonly found method of supplying load to a bolt. A large amount of torque is necessary to provide high clamping force. A hydraulic wrench can supply this kind of force.

Torque in hydraulic wrenches is controlled by hydraulic fluid pressure; the higher the pressure, the greater the amount of torque applied to the bolt. Hydraulic fluid does not compress, which means it provides highly consistent and precise torque values.

For the highest potential accuracy when determining torque for a specific application, it is vital to consider a number of other factors that can affect the amount of clamping force applied by a particular level of torque. This includes,

  • The number of times the bolt has been used
  • The bolt’s cleanliness and finish
  • Whether a lubricant has been applied to the threads and the nut face
  • Whether flat washers have been used
