Controlled Bolt Loading

Hydraulic Nuts

Hydraulic tensioning, locking, and bearing assembly nuts for controlled loading and heavy industrial applications.

Product Families

Hydraulic nut systems

Hydraulic Tensioning Nuts

Hydraulic nuts for controlled bolt loading and simultaneous tensioning applications.

Typical Applications

  • Flange bolting
  • Large structural joints
  • Critical bolted connections
  • Maintenance and shutdown work

Upper Locking Hydraulic Nuts

Hydraulic locking nuts designed for controlled-load applications where preload must be maintained mechanically after pressurization.

Typical Applications

  • Heavy equipment
  • High-load assemblies
  • Critical bolted joints
  • Industrial machinery

Bearing Assembly Hydraulic Nuts

Ultra-high-pressure hydraulic nuts for controlled bearing installation and removal.

Typical Applications

  • Bearing installation
  • Bearing removal
  • Shaft assembly
  • Rotating equipment maintenance

Hydraulic Preload

Controlled axial loading

Hydraulic nuts apply axial load directly through hydraulic pressure rather than relying only on rotational torque. This makes them useful for large fasteners, bearing installation, controlled preload, and applications where repeatable loading is important.

Application Support

Need help sizing a hydraulic nut?

Selection depends on thread size, required preload, operating pressure, available space, application type, and the associated hydraulic power system.
