How Do Superbolt® Tensioners Work?
The advantage is obvious, but how exactly do our Multi-Jackbolt Tensioners achieve this. As you can see in the animation below, the hardened washer is installed first. Then the nut body is threaded onto the existing stud or bolt, hand tight against the washer. The jackbolts are then tightened and thrust against the hardened washer. Accurate preload is achieved on the stud by torquing the jackbolts. Animation
