  What everyone ought to know about bolting tools. In the industrial world, there are several types of bolting tools available. Before knowing about the different types of bolting tools, it’s necessary for you to know what exactly they’re in general. Bolting tools are used to loosen or tighten a fastener (nut or bolt) by exerting an adequate amount of torque on it. According to Newton’s third law of motion, every action possesses an equal and opposite reaction. With that said, when you apply a high torque, the wrench would need a reaction arm to lock at an adjacent point. To begin the process of bolting, the fastener is lubricated. Now when you’re clear with the basics, let’s have a look at the different types of bolting tools with their advantages and disadvantages.  Pneumatic Torque Wrench  Pneumatic torque wrenches are powered by compressed air and are one of the most popular types of bolting tools in the automobile industry. It has an accuracy of +/-...

The Ultimate Guide To Hydraulic Stud Tensioners Hydraulic stud tensioners are annular jacks used to tighten a fastener. Tensioning is the practice of stretching a bolt towards the direct axis to achieve preload. With a hydraulic stud tensioner, you can eliminate the inaccuracies created due to friction and reduce manual efforts. In this article, you’ll know about the applications, advantages, and working of hydraulic stud tensioners.    Why do you need a hydraulic stud tensioner? The integrity and reliability of a plant are greatly affected by bolted connections. Without using advanced technology, there can be severe reliability and disassembly speed concerns that can possess a threat of injuries. With hydraulic stud tensioners , you can gain a great level of productivity, accuracy, and safety on various critical joints across the industry. It also helps you to ensure that the operations conducted on the job site are leak-free, save you money & time, and keep your ...

  Winning Tactics For Choosing A Torque Wrench  Torque wrenches are one of the most basic and necessary tools used in a variety of industries. Whether you’re an automotive mechanic, craftsman, or home repairman, you must have a torque wrench in your toolkit. They can be used in any task that requires a certain amount of torque to be applied on a nut or bolt. It can be a very rewarding endeavor to know how these tools work and how to select the best ones out of a slew of variants.  In the industry, battery-powered torque wrenches have made a great comeback in recent years. When these tools arrived, they were not much good and had very short battery life. However, battery-powered torque wrenches carry numerous benefits including a great battery life now. Moreover, all the earlier drawbacks have been eradicated in these tools.  Benefits Of Battery Powered Torque Wrenches  Earlier, auto mechanics used to be dependent on electric torque wrenches to g...

  Take the stress out of onsite services. Take the stress out of onsite services. Onsite (field) machining includes doing repairs at the breakdown site. The company providing this service utilizes a set of portable machines on the site to repair the area with problems. This eradicates the need of transporting the piece of machinery to a shop where it would be repaired or replaced.  Onsite machining provides an array of benefits over traditional practices. Moreover, it can be used at any job site or industrial plant. For instance, offshore drilling sites, marine locations, power plants, water utility plants, manufacturing factories, oil & gas industries, and coal mining industries.  These services are also a perfect solution for new construction projects. Talking about the portable machines, they can be clamped or bolted directly on the job site. They can be easily positioned and mounted in any position. These machines can perform a slew of onsite actions such as:...

Find a quick way to hydraulic jacks.   Understanding how hydraulic jacks work and determining its benefits against a mechanical jack definitely pays in the long run. The latter makes use of a screw thread for lifting heavy equipment and requires a lot of manual efforts. On the other hand, a hydraulic jack leverages the power of physics and hydraulics to lift heavy machinery and industrial equipment.   While using a hydraulic jack, you’ll notice that there’s a primary mechanism that applies force with the help of a cylinder filled with water. When the force is exerted on one cylinder, it automatically redistributes the pressure to all other cylinders. By using one cylinder larger than the other one, you can produce a greater force with your hydraulic jack even though the pressure is applied to all the cylinders equally at the same time.     Typically, all the hydraulic air jacks work on the same mechanism with a basic structure. However, if you want to...

Pipe cutting? it's easy if you do it smartly.   There are numerous methods and technologies for cutting pipes and tubes. Choosing a perfect method requires an analysis of numerous factors. The common factors affecting the pipe cutting are pipe material, the squareness of ends, wall thickness, secondary process requirements, and end-conditioning. Moreover, there are also several indirect factors such as cutting efficiency, production volume, special requirements, and overhead costs. In that case, you must have a clear idea about different methods of pipe cutting to make an informative decision. Therefore, let us have a look at the numerous methods of pipe cutting:    Cold Cutting  If you’re looking to cut thin-walled materials with a small diameter, high-precision cold cutting certainly fits the match. It’s great for materials that require a tight tolerance. In cold cutting, there is a circular saw that makes use of a wheel blade and cutting fluid. It ...
