RELEASABLY TENSIONING TWO COMPONENTS

摘要

A method of and means for safely releasably tensioning structural parts such as clamping members for mounting tube or ball mills and comprising drawing the clamping members toward one another by means of a tie rod bolt sufficiently to effect necessary clamping grip on the mill tube, and then disposing a spacer in clamped relation between the clamping members and further tightening the bolt to prevent loosening of the bolt while protecting the tube mill against excessive clamping stress.
