Technical Insights: How It Works

Induction heats the bolt efficiently from within, causing it to expand to a precise length. Once cooled, the bolt contracts—applying extra preload to nuts and enhancing clamping force. This method is ideal for critical applications such as turbines, compressors, hydraulic presses, and heavy machinery assemblies.

Ideal Applications

  • Confined or Complex Assembly Spaces

  • Non​-linear or Misaligned Bolt Configurations

  • Heavy Equipment Maintenance (e.g., torque-critical bolt installations)
