Angled Head Hydraulic Nut Splitters

Angled Head Hydraulic Nut Splitters

When dealing with industrial machinery or structural applications, nuts and bolts can often become seized due to prolonged exposure to harsh environments. Rust, corrosion, and thermal expansion are common culprits, turning a simple nut removal into a complex and time-consuming task. Seized nuts cannot be removed using conventional tools, risking damage to the bolt or surrounding components, leading to costly downtime and delays.

RenQuip’s Angled Head Hydraulic Nut Splitters are the perfect solution for safely removing seized nuts. Designed for efficiency and precision, these single-acting hydraulic nut splitters offer a range of 10,000 PSI (700 bar) with a compact design that enhances their versatility in various industrial applications.

Why Use a Hydraulic Nut Splitter?

Seized nuts pose multiple challenges:

  • Corrosion and Rust: Exposure to moisture and chemicals can cause nuts to bond tightly to bolts.
  • Thermal Expansion: High-temperature environments cause metals to expand, making it difficult to loosen fasteners.
  • Damage from Over-Tightening: Previous excessive torque application may deform the nut, further complicating removal.

Hydraulic nut splitters, such as the RenQuip HNS series, overcome these challenges quickly and effciently, minimizing the need for forceful or dangerous removal methods. With RenQuip’s innovative angled head design, this tool is ideal for applications with nuts protruding through large plates or in confined spaces.

Features of the HNS Series

  • Wide Range of Applications: Capable of handling hexagonal nuts ranging from 7/8″ through 2-3/8″ nut size across various models.
  • Robust Hydraulic Power: Each model offers a hydraulic capacity tailored to different needs, from 10 tons to 50 tons of force.
  • Durable Design: Engineered to withstand tough environments, with a heavy-duty blade capable of splitting the toughest seized nuts.
  • Angled Head Design: Improves access in tight or awkward spaces, making the HNS series adaptable to a wide range of industrial applications.
  • Precision and Safety: Each tool is equipped with a high-tensile steel blade that splits the nut precisely, reducing risks of injury and damage.
