BOLt heaters

Thermal expansion allows tightening and loosening

DESCRIPTION

These heaters are inserted into the large hollow bolts, screws or studs. Generally used for heating of screws where solid and long lasting connection is essential. Heating of expansion screw enables tightening and loosening of the screw. After de-energizing and cooling, screw returns back to original length thus ensuring solid connection. Applications include assembly and disassembly of turbines, engine heads, dies, cylinders and large flanged connections. Required amount of heat is achieved by regulating voltage through regulating transformer. Special lengths, diameters and powers are available.

APPLICATIONS

  • Power plants, turbines, generators
  • Heavy machinery and equipment
  • Large compressors, large cylinders
  • Motors, engine heads
  • Shipyards, ship engines
  • Large mechanical or hydraulic presses, die blocks
