Abstract
A tensioning system for tensioning a stud is provided. The system includes a nut having an external surface, an internal surface engaging the external surface of the stud or puller screw, and at least two bores defined therein. The posts have first and second ends and are disposed in the bores. The first ends engage a stop surface, and the second ends extend outwardly from the bores. A cylinder includes an internal surface engaged with the external surface of the nut, and has a bore defined therein. A locking screw may be threadably positioned within the cylinder bore and engages the nut. A piston is positioned within the cylinder to define a hydraulic chamber and is configured for being engaged with the second ends of the posts. Further, a biasing member is disposed between the nut and piston. A tensioning system safety guard is also provided.
