MILWAUKEE, WI USA – May 2, 2019 – Enerpac, a global market leader in heavy lifting technology and high-pressure hydraulics, announces the HM-Series HydraMax® and updated GT-Series Hydraulic Topside Tensioners for bolt tightening. Both product series are engineered to achieve accurate bolt-load in single or multiple tensioner configurations, delivering the most reliable bolt tensioning with extreme performance on critical joints.
HM-Series HydraMax® Tensioners
The HM-Series HydraMax® tensioners are designed to generate high-bolt loads associated with compact flanges, overcoming dimensional restraints with 15 load cells for bolts from ¾-in. to 4-in. and M20 to M100 – covering all standard sizes with multiple load cell options. The HM-Series is designed to fit all standard flanges, including ANSI, API and compact flanges based on Norsok L005, and generates 30% more load capacity than traditional tensioners.
With its compact fit and high load generation, alongside the flexibility to work with all standard flanges, the new HydraMax® tool can be used in almost every industry and in a vast number of different applications. HydraMax® HM-Series features include:
- Quick release bridge offering faster turnaround for different applications
- Long-stroke capability of 15mm (9/16-in.) reducing actuations and over-stroke conditions
- Twin ports for quick connection of multiple tools
- Mechanical over-stroke prevention or over-stroke relief valve with spring return for faster retraction and reduced cycle times
- Piston stroke indicator for operator awareness
- Anti-slip grip for more secure handling
- Captive socket to eliminate falling object risk
GT-Series Bolt Tensioner Update
In addition to launching the new HydraMax® Bolt Tensioners, Enerpac is also updating its GT-Series Topside Bolt Tensioners. The GT range offers a new captive socket system that prevents the socket from falling or being separated from the tool. A new GT7 (M100-M105) tensioner has been added, expanding the series to seven GT load cells and bridges to accommodate bolts from ⅝-in. to 4-in. and M16 to M105. Additional GT-Series features include:
- 7 load cell & bridges requiring less investment to cover all standard bolt sizes
- Detachable and rotational bridge to simplify tool positioning
- Full bridge window offering increased access to socket
- Piston stroke indicator for operator awareness to prevent tool over-stroke
- Anti-slip grip for more secure handling
- Twin ports for linking multiple tools to provide even tensioning
“Field-proven HydraMax® tensioner technology builds upon our expanded GT-Series bolt tensioners to provide the industry’s most versatile offering of hydraulic topside tensioners, covering a wide range of bolt sizes with fewer load cells, and reducing the tool inventory needs of our customers” said Mark van Baal, Bolting Product Line Director.
