Transportation Hydraulic Stud Tensioners
Hydraulics Technology offers hydraulic stud tensioning solutions for diesel engines used in railroad locomotives applications.
We offer complete field service kits for GE EVO Tier 3 and 4, Cummins, and Jenbacher locomotive engines as well as fully automated tensioning systems for locomotive cylander heads.
We can also build custom tensioners for any transportation fastening application.
About Hydraulic Tensioning and HTI
Hydraulic tensioning is the ideal method for tightening bolted connections. Hydraulic tensioning eliminates inaccuracies and helps achieve correct bolt loading in critical connections. HTI’s hydraulic tensioning systems can help control the significant costs resulting from incorrectly tightened studs, as well as drive higher efficiency in your assembly process. At HTI, we’ve been building hydraulic tensioners and nuts since 1986.
