Multiple Stud Nut (MSN)
Axial Bolt Tensioning using torque
After the pretensioning force generation, the MSN stays on the bolted respectively component connection. Due to mounting without further accessories, the MSN is an economic and effective axial bolt tensioner with little diffusion.
Basic position
The MSN is screwed onto the bolt being tightened until lying at the clamping disc. The Jackbolts are integrated into the nut body and ready for pretensioning generation.

Elongation and compression
Due to the stepwise turning of the Jackbolts with torque, the axial pretensioning force is generated. The bolt being tightened is elongated and by leading in the force into the disc the flange parts are compressed.
Pretensioning generation
Pretensioning
After reaching the required torque, the pretensioning force of the bolt is achieved. The sum of the axial pressure forces of the Jackbolts is in accordance with the overall bolt pretensioning force (axial traction). The main bolt is pretensioned absolutely torsion-free. The Multiple Stud Nut automatically is protected against loosening.
The tightening occurs with stepwise tensioning of the jackbolts.
Advantages
The SCHAAF MSN – Multiple Stud Nuts offer you many advantages compared to conventional fixing devices and methods of mounting:
- Main bolt is pretightened 100 % torsion-free
- No torsion under load (no thread wear)
- Robust, durable and lightweight mode of construction
- Simple and easy mounting and dismantling
- Permanent maintenance-free connection
- Wide choice of sizes and designs
- Anytime quickest control possibility of the pretensioning force
- Mounting with many individuals possible
