Threads - ID Section
Amtec can manufacture our hydraulic clamps to accept any
thread form or size. Amtec will custom machine threads for
every production piece so long as thread diameter is smaller
than the physical limitations of the nut.
For industrial use, the most robust and highly recommended

thread form is Acme (Imperial) or Trapezoidal (Metric). The 29º
included angle Acme or the 30º Trapezoidal provides the largest

diameters over a given thread length will indicate wear and
may prevent proper fit between external and internal threads.
External thread diameters which vary by 0.5 mm (.02 inches) or

more constitute “bastard” threads that can only be properly fitted
by hand through a local machine shop. These applications must
be considered on a case-by-case basis for best results.
Imperial thread forms are specified in 1/4”, 1/8” and 1/16”

diametral increments. Metric thread forms are specified in
10, 5 and 2 millimeter diametral increments.
Thread pitch (axial distance between adjacent threads) is

specified by threads per inch (TPI) for imperial series and by
actual pitch in millimeters (P) for metric series.

F-Nuts
Amtec Hydraclamp™ Hydraulic
Clamping Nuts are suitable for steel
slitters, side trimmers, choppers
and roll-forming lines, which all
benefit from the exceptional safety,
convenience, efficiency and highly
controllable clamping.
Amtec Hydraulic Nuts safely and conveniently replace major mechanical nuts on all types of metal processing lines
by eliminating sledge hammers and heavy wrenches, which cause much of the strain and physical injury to the set-up
personnel. Bearing damage from hammering nuts is eliminated with Amtec Hydraclamp™ Hydraulic Clamping Nuts. By
using Amtec High Pressure Handpumps to pressurize the Amtec Nuts, positive, controlled clamping force is applied with
every installation to ensure reliably accurate tooling set-ups. 100% of all effort to pressurize Amtec Hydraulic Nuts is
converted to clamping force, eliminating friction on threads which is the prime cause of early thread wear.
All Amtec F-Type Nuts are activated by grease to suit operating specifications. Amtec F-Type Nuts offer self-aligning,
annular thrust rings, which create a high force lock to prevent unthreading once pressure is applied.
The extreme internal pressure pushes the thrust ring against the mating tooling and simultaneously forces the nut body
to locate against the arbor or shaft threads. Therefore, all threads may be right hand rotation regardless of whether the
arbor or shaft rotation is clockwise or counterclockwise. Amtec will custom manufacture all F-Type Nuts to any existing
thread form, regardless of thread hand, provided the thread form conforms to international standards.
To compensate for increased weight in larger sized nuts, we offer aircraft grade aluminum nut models at 50-60% the
weight of our standard high-strength steel. Comparable durability, performance and quality are guaranteed with all
aluminum nuts, although maximum pressure is reduced from 700 bar to 400 bar.
Amtec F-Type Nuts are manufactured from 4140 chromoly steel or QC-10 aircraft aluminum.

F-Type Nuts
Operating Instructions
F-Type Nuts are pressurized through a high-pressure F-Nipple located
on the end face (axial surface) or on the OD (radial surface) of the nut by
either a hand or motorized pump.
A. To Install Nuts and Apply Pressure

▬ Clean the threads and contact faces of the F-Type Nuts, arbors and mating tooling, and also ensure all tooling is packed
solidly together on the arbor.
▬ Assemble the F-Type Nuts on the arbors and snug them by hand against mating tooling, then back off 10 to 20 degrees to
ensure only the thrust ring will clamp the tooling and provide easy release later.
▬ The thrust ring must be flush with the face of the Amtec Nut; if not see Section B.
▬ Close the release screw using the provided 6 mm hex wrench (hand tight only - no power tools).
▬ Wipe the face of the Amtec F-Nipple with a clean thumb to ensure contamination is not pumped into the nut.
▬ Apply Amtec handpump’s F-Coupler firmly over the F-Nipple, close the black thumb screw (pressure release valve) on
the Handpump and then pump the handle until the desired pressure is obtained on the pressure gauge. (See operating
instructions for Amtec handpumps on page 66.)
▬ Open the black thumb screw on the handpump 1/4 turn; the reading on the pressure gauge will be reduced to zero
instantly. Then with a slight rotating motion of the handpump, remove the F-Coupler from the F-Nipple.
▬ Observe the F-Nipple for a few seconds to ensure no leakage occurs (tighten or replace F-Nipple as required).
▬ The Amtec F-Type Nut is now fully pressurized with the thrust ring giving uniform axial pressure to the mating tooling.
B. To Release Pressure and Remove Nuts

▬ Open the release screw 1/4 turn with the provided 6 mm hex wrench.
▬ NOTE: Cover the bleed hole with a rag or paper towel to ensure all expelled grease is contained, then discard immediately
to prevent contamination of equipment.
▬ Insert an Amtec Hand Assist Bar (see page 76) in the peripheral holes of the nut to first tighten the F-Type Nut against the
adjacent tooling to compress the thrust ring flush with the face of the nut and ready for subsequent use. This procedure will
also protect the thrust ring from damage.
▬ Remove the Amtec Nuts from the arbors and place on a wooden-topped bench to prevent damage to the nut faces.
▬ Tooling may now be removed.
C. Remarks
▬ DO NOT apply pressure to the F-Type Nuts when nuts are “off-line.” The thrust ring has no retainer and can be forced out of
the pressure chamber, causing distortion of the thrust ring and possible rupture of the seal.
▬ Use only genuine Amtec F-Nipples, Release Screws, Seals, Thrust Rings and Handpumps to guarantee clamping reliability.
▬ Use only Amtec approved grease (see page 77). DO NOT use hand filled grease tube systems. Air bubbles may be introduced
into the nut, risking variable clamping forces, and also creating hazards when releasing pressure.
▬ Always change cartridges on a clean bench with clean hands. Dirt in the valves will cause malfunction of the handpump.
▬ For videos on F-nut installation and removal, please visit our website.

▬ For service and spare parts contact your local agent or call our office directly.

K-Nuts
Clamping Nuts are suitable for steel
slitters, side trimmers, choppers
and roll-forming lines, which all
benefit from the exceptional safety,
convenience, efficiency and highly
controllable clamping.
Amtec Hydraulic Nuts safely and conveniently replace major mechanical nuts on all types of metal processing lines by
eliminating sledge hammers and heavy wrenches, which cause much of the strain and physical injury to the set-up personnel.
Bearing damage from hammering nuts is eliminated with Amtec Hydraclamp™ Hydraulic Clamping Nuts. Our piston activated
hydraulic nuts provide positive, controlled clamping force applied with every installation to ensure reliably accurate tooling
set-ups. Using hydraulic energy to create clamping force eliminates friction on threads, which is the prime cause of early thread
wear. All Amtec K-Type Nuts are actuated by pistons pressurizing a grease medium. Amtec K-Type Nuts offer self-aligning,
annular thrust rings that create a high force to prevent unthreading once pressure is applied. The extreme internal pressure
pushes thrust rings against the mating tooling and simultaneously forces the nut body to locate against the arbor or shaft threads.
Therefore, all threads may be right hand rotation regardless of clockwise or counterclockwise shaft or arbor rotation. Amtec will
custom manufacture all K-Type Nuts to
any existing thread form, regardless of
thread hand, provided the thread form
conforms to international standards.
Amtec K-Type Nuts are manufactured

from 4140 chromoly steel to withstand
up to 700 bar (10,150 PSI) without
stress or fatigue. All Amtec K-nuts are
available with indicator pins that pop up
when clamping pressure is met.

K-Type Nuts
K-Type Nuts are pressurized by tightening one or more actuator screws
located on the end face or on the radial surface of the nut, by a hand held
hex wrench.
A. To Install Nuts and Apply Pressure

1. Clean the threads and contact faces of the K-Type Nuts, arbors and mating tooling.
2. Pack all tooling solidly together on the arbour before installing the K-Type Nuts.
3. With K-Series Nuts, the actuator screws must be unscrewed until flush with the limit screws, which prevents
retraction past flush.
4. With older K-Series Nuts, the actuator screws must be unscrewed until they are flush with the axial face (K-7
Series) or contact the roll pin (K-6 Series).
5. If the thrust ring sits proud, tighten the K-Type Nut with an Amtec Assist Bar to retract by hand until the thrust ring
contacts the mating tooling. Continue to tighten the K-Type Nut to retract the thrust ring until it is flush with the nut face.
6. Loosen the K-Type Nut 10 or 20 degrees to provide a slight clearance between the thrust ring and the contact
face on the tooling. This step is extremely important to prevent the nut from binding upon removal.
7. Insert the hex wrench, as supplied with the nut, into the actuator screw and tighten by hand. Although “hand
tight” is generally sufficient, refer to the “Clamping Force vs Actuator Torque” column in the K-6 or K-7 product
page for torque specifications, if required.
B. To Release Pressure and Remove Nuts

1. Insert the hex wrench, as supplied with the nut, into the actuator screw and turn to the left until the actuator
screws are flush with the limit screw, or as per A4 above, for older nuts.
2. Insert the assist bar (page 76) in the radial holes of the nut to tighten the K-Type Nut against the mating tooling to compress
the thrust ring into the nut body. This protects the thrust ring from damage and prepares the nut for subsequent use.
3. Remove the K-Type Nut from the arbor and place on a wooden bench to prevent damage to the nut face.
4. Tooling may now be removed.
C. Remarks
1. DO NOT tighten the actuator screws when the nuts are off line. The thrust ring has no retainer, and can be forced
out of the pressure chamber, causing distortion of the thrust ring and possible rupture of the sealing system.
2. Use only genuine Amtec Hydraclamp repair parts to guarantee clamping reliability.
3. DO NOT remove the limit screws and unscrew the actuator screws beyond their reference faces, as described
in Section A, above. Doing so may damage the seals of the actuator assembly.
4. Respect the designed thrust ring maximum stroke (S max) for the particular K-Type Nut being used. Excess
travel can cause the seals to rupture, which may cause physical damage.
D. Service
1. For service and spare parts contact your local distributor or call Amtec Hydraclamp directly.

GX-Nuts
Amtec Hydraclamp™ Heavy Duty
Hydraulic Nuts are suitable for
extreme applications requiring high
clamping force and rapid setup speed.
GX-Nuts are suitable for casters,
gearbox and pinion stands, plate mill
side trimmers and tube mills.
Amtec Hydraulic Nuts safely and conveniently replace major mechanical nuts on all types of metal processing lines by
eliminating sledge hammers and heavy wrenches, which cause much of the strain and physical injury to the set-up personnel.
Bearing and bolt damage from hammering nuts is eliminated with GX-Type Hydraulic Nuts. By using Amtec High Pressure Oil
Handpumps or Hydraulic Power Units to pressurize the Amtec Nuts, positive, controlled clamping force ensures reliably accurate
tooling set-ups with every installation. 100% of all effort to pressurize GX-Type Nuts is converted to clamping force, eliminating
friction on threads, which is the prime cause of early thread wear.
All Amtec GX-Type Nuts are activated by oil to suit operating specifications. Amtec GX-Type Nuts offer self-aligning, annular thrust
rings that create a high force lock to prevent unthreading once pressure is applied.
The extreme internal pressure pushes the thrust ring against the mating tooling and simultaneously forces the nut body to locate
against the plate, bearing or shaft threads. Therefore, all threads may be right hand rotation regardless of whether an arbor or
shaft rotation is clockwise or counterclockwise. Amtec will custom manufacture all GX-Type Nuts to any existing thread form,
regardless of thread hand, provided the thread form conforms to international standards.
To compensate for increased weight in larger sized nuts, we offer aircraft grade aluminum nut models at half the weight of our
standard high strength steel. Comparable durability, performance and quality are guaranteed with all aluminum nuts, although
maximum pressure is reduced from 700 bar to 400 bar.
Amtec GX-Type Nuts are manufactured from 4140 chromoly steel or QC-10 aircraft aluminum.

Like all Amtec Hydraclamp nuts, we will happily manufacture GX-Type Nuts with aircraft aluminum. GX-Type Nuts are our
largest design, and because aluminum nuts are half the weight as our 4140 steel versions, your mass savings are significant.
If you require a nut size outside of what you see above, Amtec Hydraclamp will accommodate. We make smaller GX-Type Nuts
for custom requirements, but also have the capacity to produce these clamps over 750mm (30.0”) OD.

GX-Type Nuts
Pressurize GX-Type Nuts directly using hydraulic handpumps or hydraulic
power units. Amtec Hydraclamp GX-Nipple and GX-Coupler high-pressure
oil connections are required.
A. Bleeding the Nut

1. Amtec GX-Type Nuts are shipped either fully charged with hydraulic oil, or dry, depending on the design. Through
transportation, handling or refilling, air may have been drawn into the pressure chamber of the nut. As with all
hydraulic systems, air bubbles must be bled from the nut prior to operation to ensure reliable clamping forces.
2. Clean the threads and contact faces of the GX-Type Nuts, arbors and/or mating tooling. Ensure all tooling is
packed solidly together, ready for clamping.
3. Assemble the GX-Nut onto the intended arbor and manually tighten against a continuous counter face, then
back-off until the vent screw is in the 12 o’clock position.
4. Open the vent screw on the GX-Nut one full turn using the 6 mm hex wrench provided.
5. Connect the GX-Coupler from the oil pump to the GX-Nipple on the nut (please see website for more details).
6. When using the Amtec Handpump series 114.427.***, rotate the 2-way control valve clockwise until it stops in
the “clamp” position.
7. Pump oil at minimum pressure into the GX-Nut until oil flows around the vent screw without air bubbles.
Note: keep pressure to a minimum to ensure that the thrust ring is not pushed out.
8. Close the vent screw hand tight, using the 6 mm hex wrench provided, and remove the GX-Coupler from the
GX-Nipple by pulling back on the retraction sleeve on the GX-Coupler.
9. Hand tighten the GX-Nut until the thrust ring touches the tooling counter face and check that the thrust ring is
also flush with the end face of the nut body.
10. If the thrust ring is not flush with the nut body, reconnect the GX-Coupler to the GX-Nipple, as in Section A, step 5,
above. Once the GX-Coupler is securely connected to the GX-Nipple, then rotate the actuator lever on the
GX-Coupler to rest against the steel pin. This procedure activates the valve pin in the GX-Coupler, which opens
the GX-Nipple to oil passage. Tighten the GX-Nut, using an assist bar in one of the peripheral assist bar holes,
until the thrust ring is flush with the end face of the nut body. Excess oil from inside the GX-Nut has been expelled
into the pump reservoir.
11. Loosen the GX-Nut 10 to 20 degrees to ensure that only the thrust ring will clamp the tooling when energized,
which will provide for easy release of the nut later. Remove the assist bar.
12. Remove the GX-Coupler from the GX-Nipple by pulling back on the retractions sleeve on the GX-Coupler.
13. The GX-Nut is now ready for pressurizing.
44
B. Install Nuts and Apply Pressure
1. Clean the threads and contact faces of the GX-Type Nuts, arbors and mating tooling. Ensure that all tooling is
packed solidly together on the arbor ready for clamping.
2. Assemble the GX-Type Nuts onto the arbors and tighten by hand against the mating tooling. Ensure that the thrust
ring is flush with the face of the Amtec Nut.
3. If the thrust ring is not flush with the face of the Amtec Nut then follow steps 10 through 13, Section A, page 44.
4. Loosen the GX-Nut 10 to 20 degrees to ensure that only the thrust ring will clamp the tooling when energized,
which will provide for easy release of the nut later. Remove the assist bar.
5. Ensure that the vent screw is hand tight using the 6 mm hex wrench provided.
6. Wipe the end face of the GX-Nipple with a clean thumb to ensure that dirt is not pumped
into the nut.
7. Apply the GX-Coupler and operate the handpump. Please see website for more
details covering Amtec oil handpumps operating instructions.
8. The GX-Nut is now fully pressurized and ready for operation.
C. Release Pressure and Remove Nuts

1. Wipe the end face of the GX-Nipple with a clean thumb to ensure that dirt is not
pumped into the nut.
2. Apply the GX-Coupler and operate the handpump. Please see website for more details on handpumps
operation instructions.
3. Since GX-Type Nuts are single acting hydraulic systems, the thrust ring must be manually retracted to the home
position. To accomplish this, leave the GX-Coupler in place, insert an assist bar into one of the peripheral assist
bar holes in the nut body and tighten the nut onto the arbor until the thrust ring is flush with the end face of the
nut body. With the assist bar still in the assist bar hole, loosen the nut 10 to 20 degrees, then remove the bar. All
excess oil inside the pressure chamber has been sent to the reservoir.
4. Pull back on the retraction sleeve on the GX-Coupler and remove the coupler from the GX-Nipple.
5. The GX-Nut is now fully de-pressurized and ready for removal by hand.
D. Remarks
1. Do not apply pressure to the GX-Type Nuts when they are off-line. The thrust ring has no retainer and can be
forced out of the pressure chamber causing distortion of the thrust ring and possible rupture of the seal.
2. Use only genuine Amtec GX-Nipples, vent screws,

seals, thrust rings and handpumps to guarantee
clamping reliability.
3. Use only ISO VG 22 or 32 hydraulic oil in the pump reservoir.

Keep reservoir cap in place to eliminate dirt and dust.

H-Nuts
Clamping Nuts are suitable for cross
cut shears, choppers and utilities,
which all benefit from the exceptional
safety, convenience, efficiency and
highly controllable clamping.
Amtec Hydraulic Nuts safely and conveniently replace major mechanical nuts on all types of metal processing line shears. It
eliminates sledgehammers and heavy wrenches, which cause much of the strain and physical injury to the set-up personnel.
By using Amtec high-pressure handpumps or high-pressure power units to pressurize Amtec H-Type nuts, positive, controlled
clamping force is applied with every installation to ensure reliably accurate tooling set-ups. Amtec’s Rapid Shear Knife Change-
Over system secures shear blades firmly while allowing exceptionally quick knife replacement.
100% of all effort to pressurize Amtec Hydraulic Nuts is converted to clamping force, eliminating friction on threads, which is the
prime cause of early thread wear. All Amtec H-Type Nuts can activate with hydraulic pressure to suit operating specifications.
Amtec H-Type Nuts offer self-aligning, annular thrust rings, which create a high force lock to prevent unthreading once pressure
is applied. The extreme internal pressure pushes thrust rings against the mating tooling and simultaneously forces the nut body
to locate against the arbor or shaft threads. Therefore, all threads may be right hand regardless of whether the arbor or shaft
rotation is clockwise or counterclockwise. Amtec customizes all H-Type Nuts to any existing thread form, regardless of thread
hand, provided the thread form conforms to international standards.
We offer aircraft-grade aluminum nut models at 40-50% the weight of our standard high strength steel to compensate for
increased weight in larger sized nuts. Comparable durability, performance and quality are guaranteed with all-aluminum nuts,
although we reduce maximum pressure from 700 bar to 400 bar. Precise tolerance control on all equipment is critical under
current market conditions. We manufacture Amtec H-Type Nuts from 4140 chromoly steel or QC-10 aircraft aluminum.

H-Type Nuts
Pressurize H-Type Nuts directly using hydraulic handpumps or hydraulic
power units. Amtec Hydraclamp™ GX-Nipple and GX-Coupler high-pressure
oil connections compliment H-Type Nuts.
A. Bleeding the Nut

1. Amtec H-Type Nuts are shipped either fully charged with hydraulic oil, or dry, depending on the design. Through
transportation, handling or refilling, air may have been drawn into the pressure chamber of the nut. As with all
hydraulic systems, air bubbles must be bled from the nut prior to operation to ensure reliable clamping forces.
2. Clean the threads and contact faces of the H-Type Nuts, arbors and/or mating tooling. Ensure all tooling is
packed solidly together, ready for clamping.
3. Assemble the H-Type Nut into the intended tooling assembly and manually tighten against a continuous counter
face (flat, full contact surface). Then back-off until one of the BSPP G 1/4 ports is in the 12 o’clock position for
circular nuts, or “in-line” as the final nut in a series of square or rectangular nuts.
4. Remove the port plug connection on the H-Type Nut using the 6 mm hex wrench provided or, a suitable wrench to
suit pipe connections.
5. First attach the required nipple to the open port and tighten firmly. Connect the coupler from the oil pump or
power unit to the nipple, or connector, directly on the nut or on a header.
6. When you use Amtec GX-Coupler and GX-Nipples, see pages 78 (General GX-Coupler/Nipple page) and refer to
online manual. If Amtec Hydraclamp™ handpump series 114.425… is also being used, rotate the 2-way control
valve counter-clockwise until it stops in the “clamp” position. The handle will show two opposed pressure pads at
the lower end.
7. Pump oil at minimum pressure into the H-Type Nut system until oil flows around the stud screw or open pipe
connection, without air bubbles. Note: keep pressure to a minimum to ensure that the thrust ring is not pushed out.
8. Close the stud screw or pipe connector wrench tight, using the appropriate wrench, and remove the oil pumping
connection if it is portable.
9. Hand tighten the H-Type circular nuts until the thrust

ring touches the tooling counter face and check that the
thrust ring is also flush with the end face of the nut body.
For square or rectangular H-Type Nuts, adjust the tooling
clamp faces so that they just touch the thrust ring and
ensure that the thrust ring is flush with the end face of
the nut body.
10. If the thrust ring is not flush with the nut body, open one
connection and tighten circular nuts or, adjust the mating
clamping faces for square or rectangular nuts, until the
thrust ring is flush with the end face of the nut body. Oil
has been expelled from the nut through the open port or
connection and these connections must be retightened
immediately to prevent future leakage.
11. The H-Type Nuts are now ready to pressurize.
52
B. Install Nuts and Apply Pressure
1. Clean the threads and contact faces of the Amtec H-Type Nuts, arbors and mating tooling. Ensure that all tooling
or equipment is packed solidly together ready for clamping.
2. Assemble the H-Type Nuts onto the arbors or studs and tighten by hand against the mating tooling or equipment.
Ensure that the thrust ring is flush with the face of the Amtec Nut.
3. If the thrust ring is not flush with the face of the Amtec Nut then follow step 10, Section A, on previous page.
4. Ensure that the thrust ring of the H-Type Nut is just lightly touching adjacent tooling or equipment to provide easy
release of the nut later when clamping pressure is released.
5. Ensure that all oil connection faces are clean before pressurizing the H-Type Nuts.
6. Ensure that all oil connections are tight, using appropriate hand-held wrenches.
7. Activate the pumping system to obtain the appropriate clamping pressure, up to 700 bar (10,150psi).
8. If Amtec oil pumps are being used, see page 70.
9. The H-Type Nuts are now fully pressurized and ready for operation.
C. Release Pressure
1. Always ensure portable pumping connections are clean before connection to Amtec H-Type Nuts.
2. Once connections are firmly attached to the nuts or remote headers, pumps should be operated as per
manufacturer’s instructions to release oil pressure to sump.
3. If Amtec GX-Type Nipples and Couplers are being used, see page 78. If Amtec Oil Handpumps are also being used,
see page 70 and page 71.
4. Since H-Type Nuts are single acting hydraulic systems, the thrust ring must be retracted to the home position,
flush with the end face of the nut body after each use. Retraction can be done manually on circular nuts and by
coil springs on square or rectangular nuts. To manually retract the thrust ring, oil must be dumped from the nut
to the tank, through hoses or piping, as determined by the pump manufacturer’s instructions. Once pressure has
been released in the nut, it can be tightened to push the thrust ring home and the excess oil is sent to tank
through the feed lines.
D. Remarks
1. DO NOT apply pressure to the H-Type Nuts when they are off-line. The thrust
ring has no retainer and can be forced out of the pressure chamber causing
distortion of the thrust ring and possible rupture of the seal.
2. Use only genuine Amtec Hydraclamp dual durometer (blue and black) seals and
thrust rings to guarantee clamping reliability.
3. Use only ISO VG 22 or 32 hydraulic oil in the pump reservoir. Keep reservoir cap
in place to eliminate dirt and dust contamination.
E. Service
1. For service and spare parts contact your distributor or Amtec
Hydraclamp Inc. directly.

Block Nuts
SERIES 023
Hydraulic pre-tensioning with
mechanical locking for long term
clamping at precise tie rod elongation.
One of the principal advantages of the Amtec Block Nut is its availability for rapid release for adjustments or changes
on equipment to which it is attached. A sudden product jam, a broken roll or knife, can be handled within minutes;
pressurize, unscrew lock ring, release pressure, make required equipment repairs or changes, re-pressurize, tighten
lock ring, release pressure, resume operation.
Amtec Block Nuts are custom engineered to meet specific

pre-tensioning conditions for rolling mill frames, pinion
stands, crop shear housings, plate and strip levelers,
injection molding machines, and mechanical or hydraulic
presses, to name just a few applications. Using a power unit
or handpump, simply pump into the pressure chamber to
cause separation between the body and the thrust collar.
Since the body of the nut is threaded onto the tie rod, the
tie rod stretches in response to the force created by input
pressure. When a desired stretch is achieved, screw down
the exterior, knurled lock ring tight against the thrust collar,
blocking any future shrinkage of the tie rod for the entire
period of operation, whether the operating period is for
months or years.
The Block Nut is a compact, self-contained device requiring only a remote oil pumping system, with a reservoir and pump,
to activate or de-activate the pressure chamber at a predetermined pressure. Deactivation is accomplished by increasing
the input pressure until the lock ring is freed up, allowing the ring to be unscrewed before pressure is released.
Oil pressure can be applied through Amtec GX-Nipple and GX-Coupler arrangements, for quick disconnect under
pressure, or through hard piping from a remote header.
The above cross-sectional drawing shows the left side in a depressurized state while the right side is in a pressurized
condition. The right side also shows the lock ring in the tightened position, against the thrust collar, to hold the tie rod
in a pre-tensioned state.
To engineer an Amtec Block Nut we require complete dimensional drawings of tie rods, mill frames or housings,
either exact clamping forces or separating forces, and type of hydraulic pumping system on-site or required to be
supplied by Amtec.

Amtec Hydraclamp Clamp Rings are precision engineered and manufactured to the tightest tolerances. When
selecting and using clamp rings, it is imperative you understand your arbor(s)must also be precision engineered
using the highest quality, hardened steel to ensure the clamp ring has a perfect surface to grasp. Any burs, dents or
deformation will prevent either complete installation or effective clamping.
Because clamp rings are pressure welded prior to precision grinding, some deformation of the ID may be possible
after pressure cycles, even in spite of annealing and normalization. Some cases my require Amtec Hydraclamp to
regrind the ID to remove any elliptical deformation.
Please contact your local distributor or Amtec Hydraclamp directly for the available configurations and sizes of

The custom engineered Amtec 112.100.200 handpump exceeds high pressure requirements for all types of hydraulic
clamping devices using Amtec F-Nipples or standard fittings. Not to be confused with simple grease guns, many
years of field engineering has resulted in a safe, convenient and durable handpump to meet all specifications.
Our internal relief valve provides variable, specific clamping control. Once the preset pressure is reached, excess
grease is dumped back into the grease chamber without any increase in pressure to the clamping device. The
pressure release thumb screw dumps pressure from the F-Coupler and extension back into the grease chamber.
This allows for easy removal of the F-Coupler from the F-Nipple and prevents damaging the coupler, the nipple or
straining the operator. Also, all bypass grease is retained inside the pump to reduce contamination of equipment. The
pump’s swivel pressure gauge offers visual confirmation of pressure level from any angle.
Use standard 400 ml grease cartridges with manually inserted red plastic follower. The chain type retraction handle
requires less force to compress the follower coil spring and ensures positive expulsion of all grease in the cartridge.
Our flexible and rigid extensions are provided with every new pump. Flexible is 600 mm (23.62”) long and rigid is 160
mm(6.30”). Both extensions carry 4-jaw F-Couplers. The long handle is provided for ease of pumping to maximum
pressure. All new Amtec handpumps come with the following spare items:
1. Three grease cartridges (one installed in pump)
2. Two spare red plastic follower seals
3. Flexible extension with F-Coupler (rigid coupler comes installed)

The custom engineered Amtec 112.110.210 handpump exceeds high pressure requirements for all types of hydraulic
clamping devices using Amtec F-Nipples or standard fittings. Not to be confused with simple grease guns, many
years of field engineering has resulted in a safe, convenient and durable handpump to meet all specifications. Our

114.427.409-700 700 bar (10,150 PSI) 4.0 L (1.05 gal) 11kg (24.2lbs)
We custom engineer Amtec Series 114.427 oil handpumps to handle high pressure requirements for many types of oil
activated clamping devices. Decades of field engineering have resulted in a safe, convenient and durable handpump
to meet most specifications.
A 2-way control valve is provided to activate the clamping position and then dumping fluid back to the reservoir to
provide operational simplicity. A visually coded/mechanically interlocked Amtec GX-Coupler, included with every
pump, offers positive lock to our GX-Nipple. The quick-disconnect function for clamping devices ensures safe
and convenient interaction between the pump and the clamping device under all operating conditions. Operating
pressure can be pre-set to ensure specific clamping control. Once the preset pressure is reached, excess oil is
dumped back into the reservoir through the internal relief valve, without any increase in pressure to the clamping
device. Amtec presets the pressure control, which is located inside the reservoir to prevent unwarranted changes.
Amtec recommends standard ISO AW 32 or 46 hydraulic oil. Flexible hose extensions may be added, as required for
long distance operation. The 114.427 compact size and light weight provide convenience and ease of movement
for use in restricted areas. The pump is portable, or it can be permanently mounted either horizontally or vertically.
Models available for various pressure and capacity requirements. We also offer 4-way directional valves for double-
acting clamps, such as our Step Nuts (page 58).
Additional Features:
1. Steel pump body, handle, linkage, fittings and reservoir
2. Steel valve seats
3. Rubber covered pressure gauge
4. Many pumps have been in continuous service for over 20 years

Bulk Fill
Pumping System
MODEL 193.112.110.011
The Amtec Hydraclamp bulk fill system takes the pain and mess away from using individual grease cartridges. When
combined with our 112.110.210 Series Rod Type Handpump (see page 68), the system provides months worth of grease
supply while never having to open up the handpump.
Simply connect the filler cap to the bulk fill pumping system’s filler assembly and pump the handle, providing a clean, quick
method of refilling Amtec Rod Type handpumps until the grease pail is empty.
The Bulk Fill Pumping System is available for many bucket or drum standards. Get in touch with Amtec Hydraclamp or one
of our distributors for more information.

Pressure Transponders
SERIES 550 Pressure Transponders
with PASSIVE RFID Transponder Interface for use with AMTEC HYDRAULIC NUTS.
This series is a unique combination of an extremely sturdy, tried-and-tested

industrial pressure transmitter and RFID (radio frequency identification)
wireless technology used to accurately measure the setup pressure of Amtec
Hydraclamp Hydraulic Clamping Devices.
The Series 550 Transponder provides instant pressure readings using our
handheld reader, which is especially important for continuous processes or
machines with little dwell time. The reading of pressure does not decay nut
pressure, since no gauge or other device needs to be connected to the nut.
Series 550 RFID Passive RFID Pressure Transponders

The plastic cap houses the interface to the pressure transmitter and all RFID components including the antenna. The
scanner (sold separately) provides the power required to log instantaneous values.
Performance features
▬ Extremely resistant to environmental impact
▬ Ultra-compact stainless steel housing
▬ High-accuracy, outstanding long-term stability, hysteresis-free
▬ Temperature displayed alongside accurate pressure reading
