There is not a single method of power transmission that is the best choice for all applications and some applications can even incorporate a combination of systems. Fluid power is a term used to describe hydraulic and pneumatic systems as both of these technologies use a fluid to transmit power by simply moving it from […]

Commercial facilities, manufacturing process and industrial plants all require essential asset maintenance. Most of the inspections, repairs, replacements, alterations and/or minor maintenance work can be carried out on equipment whilst the plant is in operation, and is known as ‘on line’ maintenance. Major, more thorough maintenance and repairs can also be completed, however they are […]

Bolt tensioning is now the preferred method of tightening bolts and studs on all critical applications. Bolt tensioners are designed for use on a wide range of applications including pipeline flanges, pressure vessels, compressor covers, boiler feed pumps and heat exchangers to name a few. Heat Exhangers Shell and Tube, Air Cooled and the Plate-Type […]

A hydraulic torque wrench is a precision instrument designed to tighten bolt heads on excavator tracks, tower crane assemblies, foundation connections and various other applications. To guarantee the best performance of a hydraulic torque wrench, a proper maintenance and calibration schedule should be followed as well as operating guidelines.  Guidelines are provided for acceptable torque […]

Tensioning permits the simultaneous tightening of multiple bolts. Tensioners are connected in sequence via a high pressure hose assembly to a single pump unit. This method ensures that each tensioner develops the exact same load and provides a uniform clamping force across the joint, avoiding damage and ensuring a secure sealed connection is achieved. Tensioning […]

Skidding techniques have been used for centuries to aid in the movement, of otherwise, immoveable loads. Today, Hydraulic Skidding Systems have been developed and are suited to applications where space is confined. Their most frequent applications are moving and positioning industrial equipment, transformers and production machines. As Holmatro’s UK Partner, HTL can provide a Holmatro […]

With HTL’s Pipe Cutting equipment, also known in the industry as split frame cutters and clamshell cutters, you can simplify jobs and complete them quicker with the use of one machine. The low clearance split frame pipe cutting and bevelling machines produce high metal removal rates and with a large adjustment range and suited to […]

Bolted joints in particular can be a source of concern for engineers, as frequently assumptions are made to assess whether the joint is capable of sustaining the forces applied to it. Failure of a single bolted joint can have disastrous consequences for the reliability and safety of bolted connections. As we’ve learned the reliability and […]
