911D Diesel Powerig

911D Diesel Powerig®


The new 911D Howmet® diesel engine Powerig® from howmet Fastening Systems, allows the installation of Howmet fasteners in any environment without requiring a 3 phase power supply. It is therefore ideally suited to rail track, bridge, constuction, fencing and maintenance / repair applications.

It can be used with a wide range of Howmet hydraulic Installation tools including the Bobtail tooling suite for the new Howmet BobTail LockBolt. The maximum Pull Pressure is 700 bar (10150 psi) and the maximum Return Pressure is 400 bar (5800 psi). The Powerig is equipped with a 12 vdc Battery and an electric Starter Motor operated by a Key Switch.

The Engine and Pump run continuously and a low hydraulic pressure, (Idle Pressure), ensures that the Tool Piston is kept in the forward position when the Tool is not being used. The Installation Tool is connected to the Powerig by means of Pull and Return pressure Hydraulic Hoses and an electrical Control Cord. The Powerig Hydraulic Directional Valve (HDV), is controlled from the Installation Tool Trigger by a 12 VDC remote control circuit.
