FAQs
The HYTORC GRIP-TIGHT™ Nut is designed to protect commercial fleets from wheel installation-related incidents. It serves as an instant upgrade for heavy-duty truck and trailer hub piloted wheels, addressing issues associated with side loads and providing a pinch point-free reaction component for applied torque.
The GRIP-TIGHT™ Nut employs a patent-pending washer profile with special geometry, allowing for the rotationally coupling of the washer to the HYTORC reaction socket. This design eliminates pinch points and removes undesirable side loads during torque application, ensuring controlled and safe torqueing.
The GRIP-TIGHT™ Nut is made from through-hardened carbon steel, and each free-spinning washer is made from through-hardened and tempered chrome-moly steel. The nut's geometry and coatings are designed to create a consistent and efficient translation from torque to clamping force.
The GRIP-TIGHT™ Nut has M22X1.5 threads, a 33mm hex, 27mm height, and a 46mm washer diameter. It complies with the technical requirements of various standards and can be torqued and loosened with common impact guns and wrenches.
The washer profile acts as a coaxial reaction point when coupled to the HYTORC reaction socket, eliminating pinch points and preventing undesirable side loads during torqueing. This feature enhances safety and efficiency in wheel nut installations.
Yes, the GRIP-TIGHT™ Nut can be torqued and loosened with common impact guns and wrenches. The unique washer profile makes it feasible to upgrade to cordless digital tooling systems, increasing efficiency, maintaining quality, and enhancing safety in wheel nut installations.
