ITH Type MSH
A multi-stage hydraulic bolt tensioning cylinder with a hollow piston for fast installation on long protruding threads, foundation bolts, and heat exchangers.
More Information
The ITH Type MSH is a multi-stage bolt tensioning cylinder with multiple piston surfaces and automatic piston return, built for high bolting cycles. Its hollow piston design allows fast installation on long protruding threads, making it well suited to foundation bolts, heat exchangers, and flanges. Preload can be transferred into the connection via an ITH Locknut, a standard hexagon nut, or an ITH Splitnut.
Key Features
- Hollow piston design enables fast installation on long protruding threads.
- Automatic piston return speeds up bolting procedures.
- Compatible with an ITH Locknut, standard hexagon nut, or ITH Splitnut for preload transfer.
- Optional patented cycle counter tracks tool use for maintenance management.
- Optional patented safety protection cap with handle improves ergonomic handling and safety.
- Optional NIOX coating adds extra corrosion protection.
Typical Applications
- Foundation bolts
- Heat exchangers
- Long protruding flange threads
- Multi-tensioning setups for simultaneous, even load distribution across multiple bolts
- Wind turbine and industrial infrastructure connections
