For tensioning operation on a press

Special hydraulic nuts

PLACE: Spain


Area: Industry


FPT – Fluid Power Technology has designed and manufactured some special hydraulic nuts to meet customer tensioning requirements.

Hydraulic nuts are used in all those applications where it is not possible to use a mechanical nut due to the need for continuous maintenance operations or for the heat or vibrations to which the nuts are subjected. They replace the traditional mechanical nuts and ring nuts, guaranteeing superior and controlled tightening values, they are made according to the dimensions and the strength required by the user.

The technical requirement of the special hydraulic nuts was to meet very small dimensions, having a M150X3 thread, 5830 kN force at a working pressure of 2275 bar. The hydraulic nuts should also have a maximum stroke of 12 mm.

FPT – Fluid Power Technology is a manufacturer of hydraulic rings and hydraulic nuts. Products that find application when a strong tightening force is required and are mainly used when spaces are limited or in the case of frequent disassembly and remounting. They replace the traditional mechanical nuts and ring nuts, guaranteeing superior and controlled tightening values, they are made according to the dimensions and the strength required by the user.

The on-site start-up, supervision and training service was also provided for the following project. A team of technicians is at the complete disposal of our customers to provide technical assistance on FPT hydraulic equipment. A service center is at the complete disposal of the client for review or carry out maintenance to our products and a well-stocked warehouse ensures deliveries of spare parts around the world. To ship all over the world the original spare parts FPT and technical support remotely on equipment and hydraulic systems that are equipped with the necessary software.
