These compact, powerful and maneuverable 700 bar high-pressure hydraulic tools are often used on flanged joints, such as those common in the oil, gas, energy, mineral processing, water and infrastructure industries, and all industries where bolting and pipelines are used extensively.

Enerpac’s nut splitters are specially designed to suit standard ANSI B16.5/BS1560 flanges. According to Enerpac, the nickel-plated cylinder bodies have excellent corrosion protection and improved durability in harsh environments. Heavily corroded and weathered nuts can be quickly split and removed.

Several interchangeable heads are available to provide maximum nut range flexibility and the single-acting, spring return or double-acting operation allows the splitter to be used with a variety of hydraulic power sources, including the comprehensive range of innovative pumping technologies available from Enerpac.

Tri-blade technology provides three cutting surfaces on a single blade, facilitating easy changes in the field. Grip tape and handle are included for more secure maneuverability.

A pre-set blade cutting depth scale in each tool is a standard feature and allows controlled blade extension to avoid damage to bolts and threads. The scale indicates the bolt range in metric and imperial values on each cutting head. These nut splitters cut hexagon nut sizes from 70–130 mm in a bolt range from M45 to M90.

Using high-pressure 700 bar technology to reduce weight and size, the NS series of nut splitters complement Enerpac’s advanced range of safety-oriented, energy saving and labour-saving technologies, including lifting, pumping, fastening, bolting and maintenance tools.

All of the company’s hydraulic tools and cylinders are complemented by a broad range of advanced pumping technologies, ranging from simple portable hand pumps and versatile battery pumps to new generation electric and air-over-hydraulic technologies. These include cool-running and energy-saving ZU4T electric pumps and new generation 700 bar XVARI XA air-over-hydraulic foot pumps, which enable finer and safer control of tasks while completing jobs up to twice as quickly as conventional pumps.

Enerpac has been established in Australia and New Zealand as a major supplier of high-pressure hydraulic equipment for 50 years, having nationwide service backup and a strong distribution network. Its range of 700 bar precision hydraulic cylinders, tools and safety equipment contained in its E326A catalogue is complemented by professional bolting technology being introduced by Enerpac to address the needs of major areas of industry, including mining and energy, infrastructure construction, manufacturing, pipelines, mobile machinery, tracked and heavy vehicles, cranage and fixed plant.
