Pistion-To-Pistion Rod Connection With External Tensioned Nuts

• Greater Loading Capability Achieved Within a Restricted Counterbore.
• Uniform, Controlled Loading.
• Eliminate inaccuracies associated with Turn-of-Nut method attachment.

Problem:

Conventional Turn-of-Nut method of tightening resulted in uncontrolled loading.

Solution:

Guess work eliminated with intial preloading. Insufficient clamping force produced on connecting rods due to limited tooling access.
