How does a hydraulic torque wrench work?

hydraulic torque wrench

Hydraulic torque wrenches are widely used in construction, maintenance, and emergency repairs in petroleum, chemical, electric power, mining, metallurgy, shipbuilding, cement, heavy equipment manufacturing, and other industries. According to relevant statistics, 50% of equipment failures are caused by bolting failure, and reports of equipment accidents caused by a bolting failure also occur from time to time; In the process of equipment installation and maintenance, hydraulic wrenches must be used for the installation and removal of large-sized bolts. It is not only simple and convenient to use, but also provides very accurate torque, with a torque accuracy of ±3%, which is impossible to achieve manually.

How does a hydraulic torque wrench work?

A set of hydraulic torque wrench tools is composed of a hydraulic wrench, a hydraulic torque wrench pump, a high-pressure hose (safety factor 4:1 ), and a hexagon reducer (or impact socket). The hydraulic wrench is composed of the body (also called the shell), the drive unit(hydraulic cylinders), and the transmission parts(ratchet and driveshaft). Before using the hydraulic torque wrench pump, fill 46# anti-wear hydraulic oil into the oil tank, and turn on the power to start the pump station, the pump station will generate pressure through the operation of the motor, and It is transmitted to the hydraulic wrench through the high-pressure oil pipe, pushes the piston rod in the drive unit, and the piston rod drives the ratchet so that the ratchet drives the drive shaft of the wrench to complete the work of tightening or loosening the nut. The drive units output power, the piston rod in the drive unit, and the transmission part form a motion pair, the distance from the center of the drive unit cylinder to the center of the transmission part is the hydraulic wrench amplifying force arm, and the output force of the drive unit cylinder multiplied by the force arm is the actual output torque of the hydraulic wrench.

Things needs to pay attention to when using hydraulic wrench

Things need to pay attention to when using the hydraulic wrench

  1. The first thing that needs to do when operating is to adjust the pressure. The operator can complete this step through the remote switch button. For example, if a popping sound is heard during operation, it means that the wrench is in place. , stop rotating, and it still needs to be locked when adjusting. If you want it to achieve a better locking purpose in use, you need to set the torque, pump station pressure and wrench turning direction, etc. The use of a hydraulic wrench should adhere to the principle of safety first. A hydraulic torque wrench is a power tool. Before use, you should carefully read the instructions, warnings, and precautions, and follow safety measures to avoid personal injury and equipment damage during operation.
  2. In order to avoid personal injury and equipment damage during operation, it is necessary to ensure that each hydraulic component can withstand the working pressure of 70MPa, the guard plate on the hydraulic torque wrench shall not be removed, and the wrench and accessories shall not be changed, and the safety on the rotary joint shall not be changed. valve. Use a hydraulic torque wrench not to exceed the rated load of the equipment, try to avoid the danger of overloading, and use a pressure gauge in the system to display the operating load.
  3. In order to avoid damage to the hydraulic oil pipe, the serious bending and winding of the hydraulic oil pipe should be avoided during use. Severe bending and winding will cause excessive back pressure, which will damage the inner part of the oil pipe and cause it to be scrapped prematurely! Do not use damaged sockets and inserts, do not use metric sockets to remove inch nuts and bolts, and use original high-performance sockets and inserts!

Low Height Pancake Hydraulic Cylinder Used In Auger Boring Steerable Rock System

Project Images Project Introduction 50-ton low height pancake hydraulic cylinders used in auger boring steerable rock system.Steerable head designed for boring through sand or soft rock with real-time steering adjustments made out of the pit with a hydraulic control system. The Steerable Rock System (SRS) is the auger boring market’s first steerable head designed to navigate not only solid rock but difficult fractured rock conditions as well. Engineered to operate in rock up to 25,000 psi, the SRS allows operators to keep bores online and grade even in the toughest ground conditions for an on-grade bore. On the drilling head, there is peace’s of small round pipe, that’s where the cylinders sit. There are 4 pcs 50-ton pancake hydraulic cylinders on each side(top, bottom, right, and left) of the steerable head for a total of 16pcs, it works when it’s drilling horizontally underground we use the cylinders to navigate the drilling head.

Different Types of Bearing Pullers and What to Consider Before Buying

A bearing puller is a specialized tool that is used to remove bearings from a shaft. The bearing puller consists of two parts: the body and the jaws. The body is attached to the shaft, and the jaws are connected to the bearing. When the jaws are tightened, they pull the bearing off of the shaft. Different Types of Bearing Pullers Hydraulic Bearing Puller and Mechanical Bearing Puller  A hydraulic bearing puller uses fluid pressure to push the bearing of the shaft, while a mechanical bearing puller uses a set of jaws to grip the bearing and pull it off the shaft. Which type of bearing puller you use depends on the size and bearing you are removing. A hydraulic bearing puller is typically used for larger bearings, while a mechanical Bearing puller is typically used for smaller bearings.  Integral Bearing Puller and Split Type Bearing Puller An integral hydraulic bearing puller is a one-piece hydraulic puller with a built-in hydraulic hand pump. While a split-type bearing puller consists of a hydraulic puller and a separate hydraulic pump, both components are connected together by high-pressure hydraulic hoses Two Jaw Bearing Puller and Three Jaw Bearing Puller. There are a few types of bearing pullers available on the market. The

Calculate Force in Your Hydraulic Cylinder the Easy Way

In hydraulic systems, force is a crucial element in controlling the flow of liquids and gases. In this article, we will discuss how to calculate the force exerted by a hydraulic cylinder. First, we need to know the dimensions of the piston and cylinder. Second, we need to know the working pressure of the hydraulic cylinder. The force exerted in a hydraulic cylinder can be calculated using the following equation: F = P x A. where F is the force, P is the pressure of the fluid in the cylinder, and A is the working effectiveness area of the piston. This equation can be used to calculate forces in any hydraulic system. For example, the effective area of a double-acting cylinder is 0.145m² for push and 0.048m² for retraction, rated working pressure is 70Mpa. The pushing force should be  F(push)=70MpaX0.145m²=10.15Ton, and the pulling force should be F(pull)=70MpaX0.048m²=3.3Ton.
