KBB:V & JGU:Z frames require special hydraulic torque tools for disassembly & re-assembly. These special tools are not included in the base price or scope of the frame. They are available as an option and should be included as an option in the proposal. Special tools are priced and scoped separately to allow the purchase of these based upon having one set per location. A list of special tools is made available in the Ariel performance software.
These special tools include:
Hydraulic Piston Nut torque tool
Hydraulic Balance Nut torque tool
Hydraulic Main / Conn Rod torque tool
Hydraulic Stud tensioner (optional)
Hydraulic pumps, manual, electric or pneumatic
Hydraulic tools can be used on the smaller frames, but are considered optional as manual hand tools can be used. A full list of the optional, recommended and required tools are listed in the Ariel performance software for each frame.
We encourage the review and inclusion of any necessary special tools in the initial purchase of larger compressor frames.
Hydraulic Piston Nut torque tool
Piston rod is stretched by hydraulic pressure supplied to the tool. Piston nut has final torque applied, then the hydraulic pressure is released.
Hydraulic Balance Nut torque tool
Torque is applied by hydraulic pressure supplied to a cylinder supported by the crosshead guide door.
Hydraulic Main / Conn Rod torque tool
Torque is applied by a hydraulic torque wrench and final bolt pre-stress is achieved by final turn on the bolting.
Hydraulic Stud tensioner (optional)
Hydraulic piston applies tension to the frame foot hold down bolts.
