Tensioned Hardware

Hydraulically tensioned studs, bolts, and nuts precision-machined for controlled, safe fastener loading in critical industrial applications.

Tensioned Hardware

Product Overview

Riverhawk specializes in a variety of hydraulically tensioned hardware — studs, bolts, and nuts — which enable the fasteners in any mechanical joint to be loaded in a controlled and safe manner. Hardware is available in standard form or can be custom-designed to fit your specific application.

Our hardware is designed for both new installations and existing retrofit replacements for conventional hardware designs and is fully reusable. Common applications include turbines with critical temperature and fatigue requirements, as well as compressors, pumps, and valves that call for high-durability hardware.
