Piston End Nut

MJT on compressor crosshead jamnut

Problem: Wrench to untorque existing piston nut is connected to overhead crane (safety hazard). This results in piston rod rotating in jig, which must be clamped together.

Solution: Superbolt® Piston End Tensioner is tightened and loosened with only a hand torque wrench. Proper tightness is achieved and rotation on the piston rod is eliminated.
