Tentec has announced that its complete series of bolt tensioning equipment for wind turbines is now available with a full load, positive stop feature.
The new elliptical tool, designed for foundation tooling where there are space restrictions and accessibility problems, is the latest product to be launched with this safety feature. Overstroke protection is one of the most important factors to consider when assessing bolt tensioning tools. Tentec’s in-house engineers have designed this full load, positive mechanical stop feature so that when to tool is stroked just fractions of an inch over the maximum extension, the tensioner ram will hit a mechanical stop and bolt stretching will safely cease, without any tool damage.
