Applications of the RH302 Cylinder
The unique center-hole design of the RH302 makes it far more versatile than a standard cylinder. It is frequently used in situations where a rod, bolt, or cable needs to be tensioned, or where force must be applied around an obstruction. Some common uses include:
1. Tensioning Cables and Rods
In bridge construction, pre-stressed concrete projects, and utility installations, cables or threaded rods are passed through the cylinder. The RH302 applies controlled force to achieve the correct tension, ensuring structural stability and safety.
2. Anchor Bolt Setting
Large equipment installations or structural steel frameworks often require anchor bolts to be set into concrete. The cylinder applies the necessary pulling force to tension the bolts, locking them securely into place.
3. Bearing and Bushing Removal
The cylinder’s center-hole allows shafts or studs to pass through while applying pulling force, making it highly effective in removing stubborn bearings, bushings, or other press-fit components during maintenance or repair.
4. Utility and Power Line Work
Electric utility companies and contractors use the RH302 for cable tensioning and other pulling applications related to transmission and distribution line maintenance.
5. Industrial and Plant Maintenance
In refineries, manufacturing plants, and heavy equipment facilities, the RH302 is used for disassembly, maintenance, and repair where shafts or rods must be pushed or pulled with precision force.
