Bolted joints on applications in hydro energy related industries: All bolting tools and solutions
Hydropower: bolt connections and relating tension and torque tools
Hydropower is power derived from the energy of falling or running water. Hydroelectricity is also an often used term used to describe this kind of power generation.
For nearly all kinds of bolt connections in this industrial area ITH delivers tension and torque tools as well as corresponding hydraulic equipment or engineering (designing bolted joints).
Typical applications for bolting tools are in:
- Water power stations
- Pumped storage hydro power plants
- Tidal power plants
- Hydro turbines
- Generators
- Low-, mid- and high pressure pumps or pump stations
- Turbines (ITH is the world market leader to tighten and loosen bolts of turbines)
Find below an overview of examples of all bolting tools and solutions for bolted joints on components in hydroenergy sector.
