When it comes to critical fastening applications, HexForce™ hydraulic bolt tensioners are the go-to tools for ensuring accuracy, safety, and efficiency. Designed to deliver controlled tightening, these tools are indispensable in industries where precision matters. Let’s explore what hydraulic bolt tensioners are, how they work, and why they are the best choice for various applications in the UAE and Gulf region.
What is a Hydraulic Bolt Tensioner?
A hydraulic bolt tensioner is a specialized tool used to achieve accurate bolt load by applying axial force to stretch the bolt. Unlike traditional tightening methods that rely on torque, hydraulic tensioning uses ultra-high hydraulic pressure for consistent and uniform results.
The process involves a hydraulic cylinder-like device that fits over the bolt and nut. The tool grips the threaded portion of the bolt using an internally threaded puller bar, while a hydraulic ram stretches the bolt. Once the bolt is stretched, the gap created is closed by tightening the nut, locking the desired load in place.
Why Choose Hydraulic Bolt Tensioners?
HexForce™ Hydraulic bolt tensioners offer several advantages over traditional tightening methods:
- Accuracy: Achieve precise bolt loads with minimal variation.
- Uniform Tightening: Ensures even tension across all bolts, reducing stress imbalances.
- Speed and Efficiency: Faster tightening process compared to manual or torque-based methods.
- Safety: Controlled operation reduces the risk of over-tightening or bolt damage.
Applications of Hydraulic Bolt Tensioners
Hydraulic bolt tensioners are ideal for a wide range of industries and environments, including:
Oil and Gas: Ensuring leak-free connections in pipelines and flanges.
Construction: Securing structural components with uniform tension.
Power Generation: Maintaining critical equipment like turbines and reactors.
Marine and Subsea: Withstanding harsh environments in offshore installations.

How Hydraulic Bolt Tensioners Work
The process of bolt tensioning involves these steps:
- Fitting the Tool: The tensioner is placed over the bolt and nut.
- Hydraulic Pressure: Ultra-high hydraulic pressure is applied, stretching the bolt.
- Tightening the Nut: While the bolt remains stretched, the nut is tightened to maintain the desired load.
- Releasing the Pressure: The hydraulic pressure is released, and the bolt retains its tension.
