Small bolts are of great use at critical moments of “more than a thousand jin”

On October 17, the mechanical sub-field of Gansu Liujiaxia Hydropower Plant, the national network, carried out an emergency drill for power preservation combined with practical work.
After the start of the drill, the maintenance personnel of the mechanical auxiliary test class quickly arrived at the scene, disconnected the coupling, removed the base screw, and prepared for a comprehensive inspection of the motor. As a result, an unexpected problem arises. The coupling of the oil pump is too tight to use the puller. If you hit it with a hammer, the coupling may be damaged by external force.

The technician said, “the coupling must be pulled out safely. You can first make a simple small thread Jack and tighten it symmetrically.” After the screw is supported, it rotates gently and the coupling is pulled out steadily.
“regardless of a small bolt, it can fix the equipment or be used as a Jack. This finger-sized bolt can carry 2 tons, that is, the weight of a car. It is of great use at critical moments.
