Hexagonal coupling nut
Hexagonal coupling nut
This type of tensioner consists of a hexagonal nut with a threaded hole in the center. The tensioner is placed on the bolt and screwed on until the nut touches the surface of the workpiece. The nut is then tightened to extend the tensioner and create an axial tensioning force on the bolt joint. Hexagonal turnbuckles are commonly used in applications where high strength and security are required.
