For mounting bolts from M30 or 1 1/8 - 7 UNC use a hydraulic
bolt-tensioning cylinder ( chapter 5.2.6 "Tightening bolts with
a hydraulic bolt-tensioning cylinder").
When using bolts with fine-pitched thread or other bolt sizes or
qualities, please contact our customer service ( page 2).
For further information about bolts, please refer to the IMO
main catalogues.
5.2.6 Tightening bolts with a hydraulic bolt-tensioning cylinder
Comply with the instructions provided in the operating manual
for the hydraulic fixture! The operating manual for the hydraulic
bolt-tensioning cylinder specifies how the hydraulic pressure is
converted to the pretension force.
