Why Use V Series - Bolt Tensioners?
Powerful
The enhanced bolt load offered by the V - Series
bolt tensioning tools satisfies the higher bolt load
requirements of the SPO Vector compact flanges
Joint Integrity
SPO Vector Compact flange bolt tensioning
is generally achieved using 100% tool to bolt
coverage. This makes for a very rapid and even
spread of bolt load over all bolts. This results in a
high level of joint integrity.

Conversion kits are available to convert a
tensioner from one bolt size to another offering an
economical and versatile solution.

Why Use AERO WT - Wind Turbine
Tensioners?
Versatile
The Aero WT Series consists of purpose designed
tools for every bolted joint on a Wind Turbine.
Safety First
At the heart of all Aero WTB tensioners is the Puller,
manufactured from high grade aerospace material
and carefully designed to give the maximum
possible life.
All Aero WTB tensioners have a device that ensures
the tool fails safely in the unlikely event of a puller
failure.
Adaptable
Aero WTB Tensioners are profile cut at the base
to ensure they fit onto as many applications as
possible. This interchangeable profile cut spacer
gives the tensioner the flexibility to be used on
many different applications.
