A new wind turbine gearbox manufacturing plant in Gainesville, Georgia, USA has purchased a Tentec M42 WTB bolt tensioner system for its production facility.
ZF Industries opened its new factory in 2012 and manufactures the Atlas 1 wind turbine gearbox for Vestas. The Tentec M42 Wind Turbine Tensioners provide the production engineers at the plant with the ability to quickly and accurately carry out bolting on the gearbox casings. Special lifting harnesses have been designed to further speed up the operation as there are 60 bolts to be tensioned on each individual gearbox. Further the Tentec tools are are fitted with a spring-loaded device. This automatically engages the tensioner drive socket with the hexagon nut.
