Recognizing the specific need for a tensioning system designed for high ambient temperature and minimum envelope, Riverhawk offers the HRT Tensioning System.
The Riverhawk HRT Tensioning System is an enhancement of Riverhawk's line of standard hydraulic nuts and tensioners which already offer the industry versatility, flexibility and modular design. The most pronounced attribute of the Riverhawk HRT system is that it is directly retrofitable to existing installation requirements. A trait that is accomplished in a minimum envelope.
No longer of concern are design limiting considerations such as temperature limiting seals and lubricants, coatings, and coefficient of friction due to torquing.
The concept of the HRT Tensioning System was born of the need for a tensioning solution that could be readily retrofitted to existing studs and suitable for high temperature applications. Further, a method of tensioning was needed that did not require special features on the stud for gripping. Using the outside diameter of the nut as a gripping surface for tensioning satisfies this need.
High load capacity is achieved by virtue of placing the hydraulic cylinder above the stud and nut maximizing the hydraulic working area for a given cylinder outside diameter.
With the Riverhawk HRT Tensioning System, studs can be accurately tensioned to the required load. Any number can be linked together to simultaneously provide a smooth uniform load on the flange connection. Fast, easy installation is assured.
