MA X STROKE

Verify that the Max Stroke is sufficient for the application. HYTORC Nuts have maximum stroke lengths that are limited by the height of the
splined washer. More stroke may be needed to accommodate gasket compression or an extraordinarily long joint length. Consult with a HYTORC
Applications Engineer for special extended stroke HYTORC Nuts.

ADDITIONAL FACTS
AND INFORMATION
SAMPLE LOAD CHART MATERIALS

HYTORC Nut material selection is based on the

service temperature rating of the HYTORC Nut.
Please consult with a HYTORC Applications Engineer
for a detailed specification on the materials used for
each component of the HYTORC Nut.

LOAD CHARTS

All HYTORC Nuts can be made available with

a Load Chart. Load Charts provide data points
showing the tool’s hydraulic pressure vs. the bolt
load that will be attained. A load chart can be
created for any tool with any HYTORC Nut.

SPECIALS

When components fall outside of the

boundaries of our standard part numbering
system, they become specials. The following list
exemplifies some of the variations that could
make your HYTORC Nut specification a special:

• Modified or non standard thread sizes such as

those for oversized studs
• Extended or shortened HYTORC Nut height
requirements
• Higher than usual bolt loads
• Reduced HYTORC Nut diameter requirements
• Extended stroke requirements
• Special coating requirements such as
galvanizing or xylan
• Non-standard materials, testing or
certification requirements

APPLICATION TIPS AVAILABLE DRIVES

Measurement of the thread pitch is the most error prone portion of HYTORC Nut specification. Please contact HYTORC to request available
The easiest way to measure pitch is with a pitch gauge. Alternatively, please provide HYTORC drives and to specify non-standard HYTORC Nuts.
with a sample of the stud. Special coatings can cause dimensional variations on studs and nuts,
i.e. Galvanized studs often have a coating build up that effectively changes the thread size. If the
application studs have coatings, special care should be taken to determine the actual thread size.
A standard HYTORC Nut will not fit a standard UN stud thread if a thick coating is applied. In these
situations it will typically be best to supply HYTORC with a sample stud.
