More Information
Summary:The invention relates to a removable mechanical tensioning device, and a method of stretching a bolt or stud axially, the bolt being located in and attachable to an object via a nut. The device is operatively attachable to the bolt and comprises or is operatively coupled to a nut engaging assembly configured to automatically engage and tighten the nut, at a lower torque than the applied tool torque during loading conditions. In particular, displacement of a part of the tensioner device during loading conditions, causes axial stretch of the elongate member and actuation of the nut engaging assembly in the manner mentioned.
