Pilgrim Radial Fit Bolts
THE INNOVATIVE, TECHNICALLY PROVEN SOLUTION
The Pilgrim Radial Fit Bolt consists of a tapered body, a
matching tapered bored sleeve and two round nuts. Pilgrim
Radial Fit Bolts are re-usable, reduce maintenance downtimes and
are a direct retrofit replacement for conventional bolts.
Specially designed to suit specific coupling geometry, the
Pilgrim Radial Fit Bolt offers turbine operators a number of
significant benefits. As they are installed and removed
faster than conventional bolts, less time is required to split and
re-build turbine couplings, bringing down outage time and
costs.
Due to their precise and repeatable location, the bolts can
potentially reduce the turbine vibration and coupling slippage
often associated with conventional systems. The problem of bolt
seizure and surface pick-up are avoided, concentricity is
established and maintained even under extreme operating conditions.
Once fitted there is no need for re-machining.
