Advanced tensioning technologies for precision testing, integration, and operational readiness

Vibration Test Fixtures

Challenge: Test articles must be securely mounted to vibration tables simulating launch and flight conditions. Bolted joints must resist loosening under dynamic loads and allow for quick reconfiguration between tests.

Solution: Superbolt tensioners provide fast, secure bolting for vibration fixture interfaces. Their multi-jackbolt design ensures uniform preload without large torque tools, enabling quick setup and reliable retention during high-frequency vibration cycles.

 

Thermal Vacuum Chamber Flanges

Challenge: Vacuum chambers used for thermal and cryogenic testing require leak-tight seals under extreme temperature differentials and pressure conditions. Bolted joints must maintain preload without compromising chamber integrity.

Solution: Superbolt tensioners deliver precise preload across chamber flange bolts, ensuring consistent sealing and reducing the risk of leaks. Operation is performed using simple hand tools, supporting safe, efficient maintenance in cleanroom environments.

Payload Integration Frames

Challenge: Payloads must be securely fastened during transport, handling, and integration into launch vehicles. Bolted joints must provide high preload while allowing for safe, repeatable access.

Solution: Superbolt tensioners offer high-strength, easy-to-maintain bolting for payload frames and handling fixtures. Their compact design supports integration in tight spaces and simplifies tensioning during pre-launch operations.
