Fast-acting auto return tensioner

23 September 2019

The Nord-Lock Group is celebrating the launch of its new Boltight TSR+ auto return tensioner, following several years of development and refinement.

The TSR+ boasts a piston retraction time that is said to be four times faster than its nearest competitor. Customers already using Boltight TSR tooling will be pleased to learn that TSR+ tools are compatible with existing TSR products, making an upgrade very simple. 

Apart from speed and compatibility, there are several other features that Nord-Lock Group says set TSR+ apart from other tensioners. Its durability has been a key factor in the design, and extensive in-house tests at full stroke and full pressure have shown that it out performs current TSR load cells.

Safety has also been optimised with a new safety relief valve preventing seal blow outs and exposure to ejected oil. In addition, Boltight's trademark surface finish is said to improve wear resistance and guarantee corrosion protection against the harshest elements.

When asked about the launch of Boltight TSR+, Richard Outram, business development director tensioning at the Nord-Lock Group, says: "We're delighted to be launching TSR+. Being the fastest auto return tensioner on the market, we feel confident that existing and new customers will see the benefits of improved bolting times and reliability without compromising on safety. TSR+ will be available from stock to support market expectations and ensure fast delivery."
