Hydraulic nuts for bearings

GH Series

  • Heavy-duty mounting and removal operations: Used for installation and removal of couplings, gears, ship propellers, rudder blades, shaft-to-hub connections, and large components mounted on tapered seats.
  • Bearing assembly and disassembly: Ideal for mounting rolling bearings on tapered shafts, adapter sleeves, or withdrawal sleeves, and for their safe removal when required.
  • High drive-up force capability: Engineered to apply very high or extremely high drive-up forces when conventional tightening tools are not sufficient.
  • Efficient hydraulic operation: An internal hydraulic piston ensures controlled force generation through oil pressure, enabling precise and repeatable operations.
  • Safe and controlled disassembly: Hydraulic action allows the release of tightly fitted components without damage, reducing mechanical stress and downtime.
  • Use with sleeves and tapered seats: Suitable for components mounted on adapter or withdrawal sleeves, ensuring full compatibility for both installation and removal.
  • Compact solution for limited spaces: Particularly effective where maneuvering space is restricted and traditional tools cannot be used.
  • Alternative to mechanical tightening systems: Replaces shaft nuts, pressure screws, and other conventional methods when higher forces are required.
  • Heavy-duty version available (HYDNUT HEAVY): Designed for extreme applications such as ship propellers, rudder systems, shaft couplings, and large gear assemblies.
  • Increased efficiency and reliability: Reduces installation time, improves safety, and ensures uniform load distribution during all operations.
GH hydraulic nuts are designed for assembly, disassembly, and maintenance operations where high forces are required in confined spaces and on interferencefit components. FPT – Fluid Power Technology is a manufacturer of hydraulic nuts for bearings and components. The hydraulic nuts are used for installation and removal of components such as couplings, gears and ship propellers, rudder blades, shaft blade connection or large pieces on conical seats and for assembling and disassembling bearings. The bearings can be inserted directly on a conical shaft, on an adapter sleeve or on an extraction sleeve. If the bearing is mounted using an extraction sleeve or an adapter sleeve, the hydraulic ring nut can also be used for removal. They also find application when a strong tightening torque is required, mainly used when the maneuvering spaces are limited or in the case of frequent disassembly, reassembly and assembly. The oil is pumped into the ring nut and the piston is pushed outwards with a high force suitable for the operations to be performed. The hydraulic nuts can have various threads and dimensions and are driven by a hand pump or a high pressure hydraulic unit. Custom solutions can be produced on request, such as hydraulic nuts with special threads, metric threads, trapezoidal, in inches or special forces and push area. The hydraulic system is supplied with very high pressure hand pumps and air hydrauic pumps up to 3000 bar and the very high pressure manifold system, quick coupling and fittings. FPT is specialized in the design of special hydraulic nuts, produced according to customer requirements, designing and producing the tightening tool suitable for the customer’s application. Deep tradition in continuous renewal, strong specialization in engineering and design of new technical solutions, absolute quality of the products and effective technical and post-sales assistance service have made FPT a reference brand for special high pressure hydraulic systems based on to the specific needs of customers.

DI-GH Hydraulic nuts main differences
DI models are primarily designed for precise bolt tightening applications, while GH models are dedicated to heavy-duty mounting and dismounting of mechanical components requiring high assembly and extraction forces.

Grease Nuts AVAILABLE
They are designed with supply coupling and pressure release screw installed in tangential or axial position. Grease nuts are operated by external power supply, typically hand pumps.
