Center hole cylinders allow precise tensile force to be applied directly along the bolt axis, ensuring accurate preload without inducing bending or misalignment.
Center hole cylinders allow precise tensile force to be applied directly along the bolt axis, ensuring accurate preload without inducing bending or misalignment.
Center Hole Cylinders are ideal for anchor bolt tensioning because their hollow bore allows threaded rods or bolts to pass directly through the cylinder body. This design enables precise axial tension to be applied evenly along the bolt length without inducing torsional stress. Unlike torque-based tightening methods, hydraulic tensioning provides consistent and measurable preload, which is critical in structural, petrochemical, and industrial installations. Once the desired tension is reached, lock nuts can be engaged to hold the load mechanically while hydraulic pressure is released. This method improves accuracy, repeatability, and long-term joint integrity, making Center Hole Cylinders a preferred solution for critical bolting applications.
Center hole cylinder rentals provide access to specialized equipment for project-specific needs without the cost, storage, or maintenance requirements of ownership.
Center hole cylinders are fully compatible with standard 10,000 PSI hydraulic systems from Enerpac, Simplex, and Power Team when properly matched.
Center hole cylinders typically require a compatible hydraulic pump, hoses, pressure gauge, and appropriate threaded adapters or fixtures.
Center hole cylinders can apply pushing force, but they are most commonly selected for tensioning and pulling operations where centerline force application is required.
Center hole cylinders are commonly used for pulling, tensioning, and detensioning applications when properly configured with threaded adapters and reaction fixtures.
Center hole cylinders feature a hollow bore that allows force to be applied through threaded rods or cables, enabling pulling and tensioning applications that standard cylinders cannot perform.
Center hole cylinders operate at a maximum working pressure of 10,000 PSI and are designed for use with compatible high-pressure hydraulic systems.
