ABSTRACT:
A first load-receiving member having a cylinder and a screw hole through which a bolt is thread-engaged and a second load-receiving member having a piston and a fastening face that is made in contact with a member to be fastened are attached to a nut, and a number of balls made of steel the surface of which is lubricated by grease are loaded into a pressure chamber that is formed as a compartment by the cylinder and the piston. Since these balls exert fluidity in the pressure chamber, a load applied to the balls is transmitted to the cylinder and the piston through the balls by screwing the input bolt. Thus, the first load-receiving member is moved in the axis direction with respect to the second load-receiving member, thereby applying a tensile force to the bolt.
