The RHINO-24PLR (Long Reach) Wind Turbine Tower Flange Alignment Tool is designed to correct bolt-hole misalignment and flange deformation during wind turbine tower construction, assembly and installation. The hydraulic system generates up to 238kN of alignment force, helping engineers safely align tower flanges and reduce installation delays.
Correcting Wind Turbine Tower Bolt-Hole Misalignment
Bolt-hole misalignment (when the tower sections of the turbine towers are not Axially aligned).
De-ovalizing (when the flanges are not truly concentric to the axis of the tower due to deformation or manufacturing tolerances).
The RenQuip RHINO-24PLR can produce a maximum reaction alignment force of 238kN when the maximum hydraulic pressure of 5,000 psi (350 Bar) is generated in the tool.
Engineered for the Wind Sector but capable of aligning flanges across EVERY SECTOR!
The RHINO-24PLR uses a hydraulic cylinder to apply a force to the diameter of one flange and creates a reaction force on the bolt hole of the opposite flange. These forces push and pull the flanges into Alignment. A maximum reaction force of 238kN is produced when 5,000 psi (350 Bar) of pressure is generated in the hydraulic system through the integrated hand pump.
All RenQuip Alignment tools are designed to be used in conjunction with RenQuip Flange Spreading tools.
The Tool is lightweight and portable making it ideal for use in remote locations.
If more force is required multiple tools can be used.
All RenQuip tools are manufactured from the highest quality materials and 100% load tested resulting in highly durable, low maintenance products.
