When in operation, the tensioning tools are assembled to one or more bolts to be tightened. The combined hydraulic cell and bridge are positioned over an extended bolt protrusion and held in position by a pulling sleeve. Usually multiple tensioners are assembled to a single flanged joint to ensure simultaneous and uniform joint compression and bolt loading.
