Torque Wrenches Vs Tensioners

Torque wrenches and bolt tensioners are among the most common way of tightening large bolts.

In most cases, bolts wind up under more stress and need to provide more clamping force as the equipment grows more powerful or heavier. When dealing with larger bolts, hydraulic wrenches or tensioners are necessary to tighten bolts to a point that they’ve created sufficient clamping force.

Bolts can provide support to the objects they are clamping; their main purpose is to deliver clamping force. This force comes from the spring tension intrinsic to the tightened bolt. As the bolt is tightened, it undergoes a microscopic stretching. But the bolt’s original make-up includes an elasticity of material that leads it to want to revert to its shape before this stretching occurred. This tension leads to the clamping force, and works to prevent loosening with the help of the friction from the bolt’s threads.

Therefore, guaranteeing and maintaining proper clamping force will ensure that enough spring tension is created in a bolt upon tightening. Torque wrenches and bolt tensioners each create this spring tension by stretching bolts, although they use different methods to get to that goal.

Bolt Tensioners

A bolt tensioner preloads a bolt and stretches it before a nut is installed. The tensioner gets held to the threads of the bolt and pushes against the flange of the surface that is being bolted. By doing this, the tensioner provides a steady amount of stretch to the bolt, thus making sure the bolt receives consistent stretch and clamping force.

There is a downside to using bolt tensioners, in that the user needs to consider a number of factors in selecting a tensioner with each application. This Includes;

• The size of the nut
• The diameter of the bolt
• The thickness of the washer
• The washer diameter
• The bolt grade and load requirement
• The free stud protrusion length

With a tensioner, the amount of bolt stretch is regulated by the hydraulic pressure applied to the tool. Because the bolt will be pre-stretched by the tensioner, the user will need a minimal amount of torque to tighten the nut on the stud. The clamping pressure needed comes from the release of the tensioner, which allows the bolt’s innate elasticity to supply clamping pressure

Torque Wrenches

A torque wrench generates spring tension through the amount of rotational force it applies to a bolt. As the wrench applies this force, the threading pulls the nut face and bolt head close, stretching the bolt and generating clamping force. It’s the most commonly found method of supplying load to a bolt. A large amount of torque is necessary to provide high clamping force. A hydraulic wrench can supply this kind of force.

Torque in hydraulic wrenches is controlled by hydraulic fluid pressure; the higher the pressure, the greater the amount of torque applied to the bolt. Hydraulic fluid does not compress, which means it provides highly consistent and precise torque values.

For the highest potential accuracy when determining torque for a specific application, it is vital to consider a number of other factors that can affect the amount of clamping force applied by a particular level of torque. This includes,

• The number of times the bolt has been used
• The bolt’s cleanliness and finish
• Whether a lubricant has been applied to the threads and the nut face
• Whether flat washers have been used

A Beginners’ Guide to Torque Wrenches

There are two main types of hydraulic torque wrench, the Square Drive wrench and the Limited Clearance wrench (also known variously as Low Clearance/ Direct Fit/ Cassette/ Hex Link wrench). The Square Drive wrench drives a socket whereas the Limited Clearance wrench fits directly on the nut. The vast majority of hydraulic torque wrench tool systems are "double-acting" (hydraulic advance, hydraulic return back over the ratchet) although single-acting (hydraulic advance, spring return back over the ratchet) systems are available and whilst few manufacturers/suppliers cater for this option, the single-acting system can bring advantage in terms of cost and on remote, difficult-to-access bolting applications where a power source is not readily available.

The Square Drive wrench is by far the more versatile of the two wrench options in that it will drive any AF size socket with a suitable drive. The Limited Clearance wrench requires a bespoke AF size hex link for each size nut which can make it expensive to assemble a suitable range of equipment for all bolt sizes. With good operating habits, both wrench types are easy and safe to use although the Limited Clearance wrenches are generally more suited to flange work than their Square Drive counterparts.  Given a choice on any bolting job where either wrench type can legitimately be used, I would personally opt for the Limited Clearance wrench as it negates much of the twisting force and reaction challenges often experienced by the Square Drive wrench. Having said that, the Square Drive wrenches find more favour with our customers which is indicative of their much greater versatility and resultant cost effectiveness.   

The wrenches are powered by a hydraulic pump. Most Torque Wrenches systems nowadays are designed to work to a maximum pressure of 10,000 psi (710 bar). The pump pressure, as measured by the pump pressure gauge and locked in at the desired rating, dictates the torque output of the wrench. Typically, the pumps are either air or electric powered (usually 110V) although the single-acting wrenches can be powered by any 10,000 psi pump including manual hand pumps.  The wrenches are connected to the pump by a high pressure siamese hose (or single hose for single-acting wrenches) usually around 5m in length although can be any length within reason.

The most commonly used wrenches tend to be 3/4" and 1" Square Drive Wrenches with maximum torque outputs ranging from 1000Nm up to 4,000 Nm and their Limited Clearance counterparts - accommodating nut AF sizes up to 80mm - up to around 5,000 Nm. Beyond these, the Square Drive wrenches ( 1 1/2" and 2 1/2" drives) and Limited Clearance wrenches in most tool ranges accommodate tightening torques up to and in excess of 30,000 Nm for working on large bolts.
