Bolted assemblies are without a doubt the most widely used mechanical connecting systems. We know that amongst the different causes of failure, the most frequent one is poor assembly. Tightening problems, whether insufficient tightening, excessive tightening or heterogenous tightening, alone account for over 30% of all bolted assembly failures. More specifically, 45% of all fatigue failures are estimated to be due to improper assembly. It is therefore essential to have perfect control over the levels of tightening force and the precision with which it is achieved.
The solution for accomplishing this is tightening by hydraulic tensioning and this is our intend through this webinar to provide you with indispensable information on optimizing the bolted assemblies that you are designing and on choosing the best tightening method for your application.
Key Learning Objectives
- Bolted assemblies design and tightening method
- Why opt for hydraulic tightening?
- Technical advantages and benefits of hydraulic tension tightening
We will review together all the tightening methods and proves that the best tightening control is provided by the hydraulic tensioner. We will focus on the key aspects of the hydraulic tension tightening: quality, accuracy, homogeneity, and ease of use. Finally, it will describe HYDROCAM products and services that Pilgrim International can offers along with reel case studies.
Your bolted assembly requires reliability, uniformity and integrity? We believe the hydraulic tension tightening is your optimum solution. Let us the opportunity to introduce it to you.
