Abstract

A double nut for a controlled fixing of a component using a bolt connection, comprising a pulling sleeve having an internal thread adapted to be screwed onto a threaded end of a bolt, and a pressing sleeve adapted to be supported on the component. An internal thread of the pressing sleeve is adapted to be screwed onto an external thread of the pulling sleeve, and engages such external thread to such an extent that the internal thread of the pressing sleeve is spaced by a distance equaling several threads from that end of the pulling sleeve that faces the component. The external thread of the pulling sleeve is furthermore adapted to threadedly receive a pull bushing of a bolt-tightening cylinder that has a support bushing adapted to be supported on the component and to extend over the pulling sleeve and the pressing sleeve.
