Power Team’s bolting systems

4th Quarter 2015 Shaft power components

Power Team, a specialist in hydraulic service tools, has a wide range of pumps, cylinders, jacks, torque tools and accessories in its range of SPX bolting systems. This includes the new PE45 Infinity Series pump. Unlike typical hydraulic pumps, the PE45 series offers more than twice the flow of a standard two-stage, high flow pump. Flow is continuously variable up to 700 bar, enabling a range of specialised torque wrench tools to operate faster and more efficiently.

Power Team also offers a broad range of single-acting, double-acting, low-profile and centre-hole cylinders for all lifting and pulling applications. The latest innovation is its lightweight aluminium cylinders. These specialised cylinders are only half the weight of similar steel cylinders.

Its range of specialised torque tools is designed to meet the demanding requirements of proper joint integrity. It includes robust steel square-drive and low-clearance torque wrenches that provide a maximum torque value of 71 816 Nm. For difficult bolting applications that have corroded to the point that a hydraulic torque wrench is not an option, Power Team offers the SPX Bolting Systems hydraulic nut splitter. The IJ Series inflatable air jacks provide up to 74 tons of lifting force. They are available with a range of controllers that provide pressure gauge regulation and push-button inflation and deflation control of the jack.

Power Team’s suite of products is recognised around the world for performance, reliability and durability, and is setting new performance standards for heavy lifting, pushing, pulling, spreading, torqueing or tensioning applications. These world renowned products are backed by the Powerthon lifetime warranty.
