Aero Model: WTB
Fully aware of the difficulties associated with wind turbine blade tensioning,
the new Tentec Aero WTB is a purpose designed range of hydraulic bolt
tensioning tools to suit most wind turbine bolting applications. All
WTB Tensioning tools have the capacity to achieve the specified
proof load requirements as detailed in EN ISO 898-1:1999 and
ASTM A490M for grade 10.9 Bolts. These feature packed tensioners have been designed with rapid tensioning in mind and
offer a safe, reliable and consistent method to simultaneously
tension many bolts.

• Rear Main Bearing
• Nacelle Frame
• Nacelle/Yaw Bearing
• Blade to Bearing
• Front Main Bearing
• Intermediate Tower Bolting
Swivel movement ensures versatility.
Due to the very limited space available in many blade bolt compartments and to help
where many tensioners are connected together every Aero WTB tensioner has the
option of a 360º swivel connection. This 360º swivel operation allows the hydraulic
hoses to be positioned in the best possible position to allow open access to the tensioning tools.
360º degree swivel action ensures that the hoses are
positioned where you want them.
Geared Nut Run-Down
The inclusion of a gear nut run-down mechanism offers a very rapid and consistent way of seating the hexagon nuts during the tensioning procedure. A common
1/2” square drive hand torque wrench can be used to rapidly seat the nuts to the
required 30Nm (Max) torque.
Tentec products are subject to continual development and we reserve the right to make changes in the
specification and design of products without prior notice.
Geared Nut Rundown, allows for rapid seating of
hexagon nut.

“Snap-Down” Nut Drive.
High Life Puller
Specially Designed Tools
Again to increase speed all Aero WTB tensioners are fitted with a spring loaded device that
automatically engages the tensioner drive socket with the hexagon nut. The operation is completely transparent to the operator and no time
is wasted aligning the tensioner with the nut.
At the heart of all Aero WTB tensioners is
the Puller. Manufactured from high grade
aerospace material and carefully designed
to give the maximum possible life.
All Aero WTB tensioners have a device that
ensures the tool fails safely in the unlikely
event of a puller failure.
Tentec have many years experience of designing bespoke special Bolt Tensioning Tools
for instances where standard tools are not
suitable. Contact Tentec for more information
Optional Cycle Counter
For maintenance scheduling purposes all
Aero WTB Tools offer an optional mechanical
pressure cycle counter. See at a glance exactly how many pressurisations the tool has
performed.

Automatic Tensioner Reset
‘Best Fit’
Again to increase speed all Aero WTB tensioners are fitted with a spring mechanism
that automatically resets the tensioner once
the pressure has been released to zero.
The tensioner is then automatically ready to
tension the next bolt, no operator intervention is required.
Aero WTB Tensioners are profile cut at the
base to ensure they fit onto as many applications as possible. The interchangeable profile
cut spacer at the base of the tool gives the
tensioner the flexibility to be used on many different applications.
