Hydraulic torque wrenches are fundamental tools for minimizing tightening times in any industry. These wrenches use hydraulic power to provide precise and controlled tightening in all situations where quality tightening is needed. Some of the most common applications include heavy machinery maintenance, metal structure construction, and power generation installations.
Hydraulic wrenches are fully compatible with our Bolt Pilot System, which allows for the digitization of all tightening processes. By combining both systems, maximum reliability, process simplicity, safety, and speed are achieved.
How do hydraulic torque wrenches work?
Operating our hydraulic torque wrenches is straightforward. They operate by generating force through an incompressible fluid, typically oil. They are usually used alongside an electric pump system that creates the necessary hydraulic pressure, which is then transmitted through special hoses to a tightening head that applies torque to the nut or bolt.
This process ensures uniform and controlled tightening by allowing precise regulation of working pressure, reducing the risk of damage from over-tightening or under-tightening, and thus preventing deformations or breaks in bolts or loose joints and leaks.
In which sectors are hydraulic torque wrenches used?
These hydraulic wrenches are widely used in the following sectors:
- Oil and gas industry
- Shipbuilding
- Wind turbine manufacturing
- Mining
Of course, hydraulic wrenches are not only used in these industries, but they are particularly prominent in them. The reason is that they require precise tightening of bolts and nuts, which is essential for structural integrity and operational safety. Additionally, hydraulic wrenches offer significant advantages in environments with space constraints, as their compact design facilitates access to bolted joints.
