Our brace tooling is used as an anchor point when used with our Nut Buster during removing and/or replacing nuts, glands, etc. The adjustable brace tool captures clevises by using a threaded shaft to move brace supports tight against the clevis thus reducing bearing damage and is recommended for high torque nuts and shafts.
Hold Down for aligning tie bolt cylinders in assembly. The coil threads have a shallow thread depth to prevent debris from getting caught and building up – virtually eliminating nut jam. The faster nut travel makes assembly and disassembly quick and easy. Our slide plates are easily positioned to fit cylinder length and are pre-drilled for the MSD-HD tooling.
By securing both the rear cap and head with hold down tooling, alignment is guaranteed.
The MSD-CHD is used on cylinders that have to be secured for component repair. A chain is single wrapped around the cylinder — chain link is secured into notch in chain block (B) and secured tight with the handle on opposite table rail (C).
Our pull-apart cylinder (MSD-PAC) is used with two standard brace tooling assemblies (MSD-BT) and three slide plates (MSD-SP) on our Disassembly Fixture. The pull apart cylinder will reduce the effort involved in disassembling a large cylinder. It will also increase safety by eliminating the need to have several people pulling and jerking on a cylinder trying to get it apart.
