Tension Control Bolts and the innovative Shear Wrench system are the lowest cost method of properly installing preloaded or High Strength Friction Grip (HSFG) bolts.
IKING as they are commonly known, are replacing conventional high strength friction grip bolts and swaged collar rivets simply because they are quick and easy to install using lightweight electric shear wrenches. Guaranteed tension together with visual inspection removes the likelihood of operator error and ensures engineers that connections are tightened in accordance with specifications.
TC bolts Installation Process
TC bolts Advantages
Technical
- Consistent tension
- Visual inspection
- Higher grade steel and increased pre-load facilitates the use of smaller diameter bolts
- TC bolts can be used in Shear and Tension
- No bolt relaxation since no torsional shear is induced during tightening
- Does not loosen with vibration – no locknut required
- Has a very hard surface and does not crack or flake
Cost Saving
- Quick, safe and easy to install
- One man installation
- Reduced tool maintenance
- One tool can install several diameters
- Tools do not self destruct so last many years
- Requires no further treatment which means less time at site
Safety
- Non-impacting electric shear wrenches
- No risk of HAVS (hand-arm vibration syndrome)
- Reduced operator fatigue
- No air compressors with dangerous pipes & cables
- Low on-site noise – under HSE minimum levels
- No heavy calibrated torque wrenches required
- Ultra-light weight wrenches of varying shapes & sizes
