Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A hydraulic screw tensioning device includes a tubular body, with a through opening and an annular cylinder chamber surrounding the through opening and a tubular piston movably supported in the tubular body and connectable to a screw to be tensioned. The tubular piston includes a stepped outer portion and divides the annular cylinder chamber into a first pressure chamber and a second pressure chamber. The second pressure chamber is closed by an annular end cap secured to the tubular body. The first pressure chamber is connectable to a pressure source for hydraulic fluid. The second pressure chamber is connectable to a pressure source for a compressible medium via a conduit connector mounted on the annular end cap. The conduit connector extends radially in relation to a geometric axis (A-A) of the tubular body. A damage protecting structure is provided to protect the conduit connector against accidental physical damage.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A hydraulic screw tensioning device comprising: a tubular body having a through opening formed therethrough and an annular cylinder chamber surrounding the through opening; and a tubular piston movably supported in the tubular body and connectable to a screw to be tensioned, wherein: the tubular piston comprises a stepped outer portion and divides the annular cylinder chamber into a first pressure chamber and a second pressure chamber, the second pressure chamber is closed by an annular end cap secured to the tubular body, the first pressure chamber is connectable to a pressure source for hydraulic fluid, the second pressure chamber is connectable to a pressure source for a compressible medium via a conduit connector mounted on the annular end cap, the conduit connector extends radially outward from the annular end cap in relation to a central axis of the tubular body, and the annular end cap comprises two protrusions extending radially outward from the annular end cap with the conduit connector mounted on the annular end cap between the two protrusions, wherein the annular end cap has a top surface and the two protrusions extend from the top surface with the conduit connector extending in parallel with the two protrusions. 2. The hydraulic screw tensioning device according to claim 1 , wherein the conduit connector communicates with the second pressure chamber. 3. The hydraulic screw tensioning device according to claim 2 , wherein the annular end cap is secured to the tubular body in at least two alternative angular positions enabling the conduit connector to occupy different radial directions in relation to the tubular body. 4. The hydraulic screw tensioning device according to claim 1 , wherein the annular end cap is secured to the tubular body in at least two alternative angular positions enabling the conduit connector to occupy different radial directions in relation to the tubular body.
