HexForce™ Flange Spreader Tool

HexForce™ flange separator employ a wedge mechanism to safely and efficiently separate flanges. By inserting the wedge between the flanges and forcing it open, controlled pressure is applied, ensuring the flanges are separated without causing damage to the components. This method offers several advantages:

  • Safe and Controlled Disassembly: Minimizes the risk of injury or equipment damage during the separation process.
  • Increased Efficiency: Achieves faster and more efficient separation compared to manual methods.
  • Enhanced Accessibility: Provides access to components behind the flanges for maintenance or inspection.

 

Features

  • Capacity: Up to 25 tons
  • Weight: 3.3 kg
  • Minimum Spread: 5 mm
  • Maximum Spread: 81 mm

HexForce™ Hydraulic Wedge Spreader

 

Introduction

HexForce™ Hydraulic Nuts transform the way large bolts are tensioned, providing a revolutionary solution for more efficient, safe, and precise bolting operations. By replacing traditional methods such as flogging hammers and spanners with controlled hydraulic pressure, HexForce hydraulic nuts elevate the bolting experience, making it easier, safer, and more accurate.

 

Applications

  • Large-Scale Bolting: Ideal for applications involving heavy-duty bolts, such as in the construction, oil & gas, and industrial machinery sectors.
  • Single & Multiple Bolt Tensioning: Versatile enough for both single-bolt and multiple-bolt tensioning tasks, accommodating a variety of project requirements.
  • Confined or Restricted Spaces: The compact design makes it the go-to choice for tight or hard-to-reach areas where conventional tools can’t operate effectively.
  • Precise Preload Applications: Perfect for applications that require consistent, uniform preload, such as flange connections, pipework, and heavy machinery assembly.

 

Benefits

  • Uncompromised Safety: Eliminate the need for dangerous manual methods such as flogging hammers or cumbersome spanners, creating a safer working environment by using controlled hydraulic pressure for precise tensioning.
  • Enhanced Efficiency: Enjoy faster, more accurate tightening with HexForce hydraulic nuts, dramatically improving workflow speed compared to traditional methods.
  • Versatility in Applications: Designed for both single-bolt and multi-bolt tensioning, these hydraulic nuts can be adapted to meet various operational needs.
  • Confined Space Usability: The sleek, compact design allows for operation in restricted or tight spaces, ensuring versatility even in challenging environments.
  • Improved Bolt Preservation: By applying controlled pressure, HexForce hydraulic nuts prevent thread damage and maintain the integrity of bolts during the tensioning process.
  • Reduced Installation Challenges: Self-aligning and low load loss (Shim Type) design reduces preload loss and simplifies the installation process, leading to more consistent and accurate results.

 

Features

  • Consistent and Precise Preload: Achieve precise, uniform bolt tension with every application due to the meticulous control of hydraulic pressure.

  • Compact Design: The streamlined, low-profile design ensures that HexForce hydraulic nuts can be used in tight and confined spaces without compromising performance.
  • Self-Aligning Design (Shim Type): Minimize preload loss during installation with the self-aligning feature, ensuring more accurate results and fewer installation challenges.
  • Durability and Thread Protection: The controlled hydraulic pressure prevents damage to bolt threads, ensuring long-lasting results and the preservation of bolts.
  • Versatile for Single and Multiple Bolt Tensioning: Capable of efficiently tensioning both single bolts and multiple bolts, offering flexibility for a variety of applications.

FAQs

It is used to safely separate flanges during maintenance, inspection, or gasket replacement in piping systems.

Hydraulic pressure moves a wedge or jaws to generate controlled force, creating a gap between tightly joined components.

Insert the tool between the flanges, activate the hydraulic system to apply pressure, and create a safe working gap.

Common types include O-ring face seal (ORFS), JIC (37° flare), NPT (tapered thread), and SAE flange fittings.
