AUTO-ZIP™ STUD TENSIONERS

Concept design providing the industry with the newest technology and flexibility.

                                      
 

 

Unique Features and Benefits

  • The AUTO-ZIP™ Stud Tensioner's compact design allows 100% stud coverage from one side of any ANSI or API flange! For example, the body diameter of a 1-5/8" AUTO-ZIP™ is only 3.66" (93mm)! This also improves the ability of AUTO-ZIP™ to fit non-standard applications.
  • AUTO-ZIP™ standard sizes fit stud diameters from 1" to 4" and M 18 to M100 for metric studs. Custom sizes can be manufactured to order.
  • AUTO-ZIP™ seals are a spring-energized graphite fiber reinforced PTFE. This provides a superior working seal and gives the AUTO-ZIP™ Stud Tensioner an indefinite storage life. This seal also allows automatic piston retraction.
  • AUTO-ZIP™ Stud Tensioners are substantially lighter weight than competing stud tensioners. For example, a 1-5/8" tensioning unit weighs only 15 lbs. compared to 18 to 25 lbs. competing tensioners in use today.

Technical Specifications

Maximum Operating Pressure: 28,000 psi. Stud Engagement: 3 Stud diameters must protrude above the nut.

Automatic Retraction: Available only with specially equipped AUTO-ZIP™ Power Units.

Auto-Zip™ Stud Tensioners

Incorporating ZipNut technology, the tensioner is installed as one unit. The spring loaded thread segments allow the tensioner to slide over the protruding stud threads, eliminating the time consuming task of threading the puller nut in position. The AUTO-ZIP™ puller nut is self-aligning and slides over damaged threads.

During tensioning, the AUTO-ZIP™ puller nut functions the same as standard thread-on type puller nuts; allowing the hydraulic piston to retract and securely seat the tensioning unit on the flange.To remove AUTO-ZIP™ Stud Tensioners simply squeeze the hand-grip release. This retracts the AUTO-ZIP™ threaded segments and allows the unit to be lifted off the stud.
