Tentec, a leading designer and manufacturer of bolt tensioning equipment is pleased to announce an expansion of its Aero range of tools for wind turbines. Ever mindful of the advances in wind turbine construction, equipment available from Tentec now includes tensioners ideally suited for larger bolt diameters. With the addition of these new tools, installation and maintenance engineers can now tension bolt diameters up to M64. Previously, the largest diameter was M42.
“Over the past few months our engineers have seen an increase in requests for larger diameter bolt.” explains Roy Sheldon, Sales Director at Tentec. “As the manufacture of larger wind turbines is increasing and we pride ourselves on responding quickly to market needs, we have now have the ability to offer these larger bolt tensioning tools.”
