Durable and Secure Wind Turbine Bolts
Wind turbine hydraulic tensioners are a critical item in the proper functioning of any wind turbine. These tensioners are needed to tighten and tension the turbine’s bolts to their required torque.
SOLY is not limited to one type of wind turbine bolting application. We offer Single-Stage and Multi-Stage tensioners that have been engineered for OEM Wind Turbines, including: Nacelle Frame Bolting, Blade Bolting, Tower Bolting (mid and upper sections), Bearing to Hub Bolting, Hub to Spindle Bolting, and much more. SOLY’s Wind Turbine Bolt Tensioners are being used across the wind service industry,our customized solutions are applicable on a wide range of wind turbines.
Wind Turbine Bolting Applications
SOLY’s Wind Turbine Hydraulic Tensioners have been used to tighten various parts within the wind power industry, such as:
- Blade to Hub Bearing
- Front Foot to Base
- Base to Yaw Bearing
- Yaw Bearing to Tower Top
- Rotor to Gear Hub
- Hub to Main Shaft
- Tower Segment Flanges
- Foundation (Base Bolt) Studs
- Foundation Stud testing
Foundation Tensioners
Foundation stud tensioners for wind turbines often utilize a standard Hex Nut from the application as the reaction nut to tension the stud.
