Enerpac NC-Series Hydraulic Nut Cutters
Introduction
The Enerpac NC-Series Hydraulic Nut Cutters are powerful tools designed to safely and efficiently remove seized or corroded nuts. These nut splitters offer a safer alternative to cutting torches, hammers, and chisels, minimizing damage to joint components. Let’s explore their features and applications.
Features
- Compact and Ergonomic Design: The NC-Series nut splitters are easy to use, thanks to their ergonomic design. The angled head allows flush access, ensuring a better cut.
- Single-Acting Spring Return Cylinder: The hydraulic nut cutter operates with a single blade configuration. The heat-treated steel blade cuts from one side, and the internal spring brings it back to the starting position.
- Heavy-Duty Chisels: The included chisels can be reground for longer life, making these tools durable and cost-effective.
- Applications: These nut splitters find applications in various industries, including servicing trucks, piping, tank cleaning, petrochemicals, steel construction, and mining.
How They Work
- Secure Placement: Fix the nut splitter onto the nut.
- Hydraulic Pressure: The cylinder drives the wedge into the flat of the nut.
- Efficient Splitting: Wait for the satisfying “pop” as the nut splits.
Recommendations
- Bolt Sizes: For optimal results, choose the larger tool when bolt sizes overlap between two models.
- Material Compatibility: These nut splitters are not suitable for square, star, round, or stainless steel nuts. The maximum allowable hardness of nuts to be split is HRc-44.
Conclusion
The Enerpac NC-Series Hydraulic Nut Cutters provide a safe, efficient, and reliable solution for nut removal. Whether you’re working in construction, maintenance, or industrial settings, these tools are essential for tackling stubborn nuts without compromising safety or joint integrity.
