Free membership registrationThe hydraulic bolt tensioner from "Boltight," a member of the Nord-Lock Group, was born as an evolved version re-invented by the engineer Fred Heaton, who developed the tensioner itself, to overcome the challenges faced by the tensioner. These challenges include common disadvantages of hydraulic tools like tensioners, such as being "too heavy and difficult to work with," "leaking oil after repeated use," and "not being installable in confined spaces." All of Boltight's tensioners have been significantly lightweighted to the extreme, using in-house developed bridges and seals to greatly reduce the weight of the tensioner. Additionally, the durability for repeated use has been greatly improved with technologies such as in-house developed seals. Furthermore, we can flexibly customize the shape and size for areas where space constraints prevent application, delivering them with the same lead time as standard products.

Free membership registrationWear occurring in movable parts is a major enemy of low-cost operation, requiring regular maintenance such as bush replacement and pin hole repair. For equipment manufacturers, it is an issue that cannot be overlooked, as it increases maintenance costs, which are a quality indicator of the machine, and shortens product lifespan. For machine users, it leads to chronic problems of high maintenance costs and downtime. The advantage of the Expander System is that it can be used semi-permanently and completely prevents wear in movable parts, eliminating the need to replace bushes like consumables. In movable parts that do not use bushes, it can eliminate oval deformation. The secret lies in the fact that after installation, the pin's axis expands in a way that completely seals the gaps inside the pin hole. The Expander System is already widely adopted by leading construction equipment manufacturers, including Japanese companies, and has passed a continuous field durability test of 60,000 hours without any loss of functionality at Volvo Construction Equipment. It comes with a lifetime warranty, guaranteeing the product's functionality until the first removal. *For more details, please download the catalog or feel free to contact us.

Free membership registrationThis article introduces the troubles that occur at the bolt connections around heat exchangers and piping, specifically focusing on the causes and improvement measures for leaks at flanges. The causes include "insufficient management of axial force (surface pressure)," "displacement and damage of gaskets," and "reduction of axial force due to temperature cycles (essential factors)." There is a minimum surface pressure required to prevent leaks, but due to the above causes, it is not possible to secure and maintain the necessary surface pressure, leading to leaks between the flanges. As an improvement measure, there is the "tensioning method," which allows for management of bending stress and axial force. It can be tightened without rotation, thus avoiding the effects of friction, allowing for axial force management, and preventing displacement by pulling straight. 【Proposed Products】 ■ Superbolt ■ Boltight *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

Free membership registrationThis article introduces the issues related to screw fastening in heat exchangers and piping, specifically the causes and solutions for "galling (seizing)." There are many factors said to contribute to galling, such as materials that are prone to galling, differences in thermal conductivity, and thermal expansion rates. However, galling occurs when the female and male threads rub against each other while tightening, generating frictional heat that causes the threads to momentarily melt, solidify, and seize. Therefore, the method of tightening that generates this frictional heat can be considered the fundamental cause of galling. As a solution, there is a "tensioning method" that allows for fastening without rotation. This fastening method enables tightening and loosening without rotation, thus preventing galling.
