Abstract: For tightening screw connections disposed along two annular flanges to be tensioned relative to one another and forming a ring, a tool carrier movable along the ring has a tool and a sensor. It is moved along the ring at least once, wherein current longitudinal positions of the tool carrier relative to the ring are repeatedly detected as position values and the gap size between the annular flanges at the respective current position is repeatedly detected as a gap size value by the sensor. These values are transmitted to a control and evaluation unit storing gap size values conjointly with assigned position values as datasets and determining, based on the datasets, the largest or an above-average gap size value together with assigned position value as a primary position. The screw connection at the primary position or a directly adjacent one in circumferential direction is tightened by the tool.

Abstract: In a method for documented tightening or retightening of a screw connection that includes a threaded bolt and a nut screwed onto the bolt and is supported on a flange surface, an exchangeable socket of a tensioning cylinder supported against the flange surface is screwed onto the free threaded end of the threaded bolt. The exchangeable socket is hydraulically tightened with longitudinal expansion of the threaded bolt while the nut is co-rotated by rotation of a rotary sleeve connected to the nut for conjoint rotation. Switching elements, in a first operating mode, allow only the exchangeable socket to be electrically driven and, in a second operating mode, allow only the rotary sleeve to be electrically driven. A process control unit provided with a documentation module is used to control the method.

Abstract: A tensioning device for a thread end portion of a bolt has a cylindrical housing and a piston, moveable in longitudinal direction therein and connectable to a hydraulic supply. An interchangeable sleeve extends centrally through the piston. At its end it has an internal thread with engagement length to be screwed onto the thread end portion.

In order to prevent the sleeve from prematurely contacting the threaded bolt when mounting the bolt tensioning cylinder and prevent damage to the threads, the sleeve is moveable longitudinally relative to the piston. The longitudinal sleeve travel is defined by the carrier face as first longitudinal stop and by a second longitudinal stop. The longitudinal sleeve travel is at least equal to, preferably greater, than the engagement length of the internal thread of the sleeve.

Abstract: In a method for the documented tightening or tightening up of a heavily loaded screw connection of a threaded bolt and a nut screwed on the threaded bolt by using an axially operating tensioning device and a process control unit provided with a documentation module, the screw connection is identified by scanning an identification provided on the screw connection and data determined by scanning the identification is stored in the documentation module.
