US Patent 12023788 Device for tensioning a connecting element

The present invention refers to a device for tensioning a connecting element fastened to a component to be tightened, comprising a fixation element for holding the connecting element; a support element for supporting the device against the component; and an actuating unit with a fluid chamber for receiving a fluid and a piston which is translationally guided in the fixation element. The actuating unit is configured for manipulating a volume of the fluid chamber by translationally actuating the piston so as to move the fixation element relative to the support element.
