Abstract
The present invention refers to a device for tensioning a connecting element fastened to a component to be tightened. The device comprises an engagement element connectable to the connecting element, and an actuating unit for translating a rotational movement applied to an actuating element into a translational movement of the engagement element relative to the component. Further, the device comprises a gear unit configured to transform an input torque applied to a transmission input element into an output torque applied to the actuating element which absolute value is higher compared to the input torque.
