Product Technology Spotlight
The TurnAnut™
The 2009 TurnAnut™ is a patented tensioning device that attaches a hex nut to its precisely matched TurnaSure® DTI. In this assembly, a cumbersome— especially at hundreds of feet off the ground—four-piece assembly (nut, DTI, hardened washer and bolt) is simplified into an ergonomically sound and much safer two-piece assembly. The TurnaSure® DTI’s unique geometry allows for the DTI to be fixed directly under the nut-and-washer assembly with superior tightening results—and without highly controlled lubricity. 
Unlike torque-based methods, the TurnAnut™ utilizes the TurnaSure® DTI’s friction-reducing properties, lowering the required torque force and removing the need for highly controlled lubricity. The result is a stream-lined, efficient device with cost-savings in transport, handling, tightening, and assembly—and no “fiddle factor.”
High accuracy applied clamping force is the best assurance that a joint will not loosen over time, and the TurnAnut™ provides exactly that. Learn more about the TurnAnut™ here.
Times, They Are A-Changin': "Times, they are a-changin’. And boy, do they change a whole lot faster than back in 1964, when Bob Dylan first sang those words. Over the last few years Alpha’s been busy changing, too, both keeping up with the world and anticipating the next step. We’ve been honing our skills and expanding our industries and capabilities, developing more adaptability and versatility. In short, we’re the leanest, meanest engineering and manufacturing machine we’ve ever been.
And as of today, Alpha’s got a brand new face for all of this: alphausa.com. >Read More

Written by an urban analyst passionate about cities (especially Midwestern ones), the Urbanophile is “on a mission to help America’s cities thrive and find sustainable success in the 21st century,” (from his author bio). Last weekend he posted this poignant story..." Read More
