Valve cap tensioning device – Re-tensioning of valve cap in a matter of seconds

Valve caps must be re-tensioned from time to time. An innovative tensioning device developed by SCHÄFER & URBACH now speeds up and facilitates this operation.

Technical description

For tensioning and releasing the valve cap, oil is pressed into the gap between the tensioning cap and the piston via a quick lock coupling and a bore behind the coupling. This somewhat elongates the bolts.

This elongation is compensated by turning the ring nut up against the tensioning cap. After releasing the oil pressure the system is tightly tensioned.

For releasing the valve cap the ring nut is turned towards the valve cap. When the oil pressure is released, the nuts can be easily unscrewed.

Advantages

Short tensioning and release times of just a few minutes
Simple construction comprising only very few components
Fatigue-resisting tensioning, due to absence of springs
