MAXBOLT LOAD INDICATING FASTENER

The Maxbolt™ is manufactured by inserting extremely accurate and durable load monitoring devices into high quality bolts and studs. The accurate assembly and continuous monitoring capabilities reduce the potential for premature wear, expensive downtime, and catastrophic joint failure. In addition, load-indicating fasteners are compatible with conventional tightening and tensioning equipment and eliminate the need for costly ultrasonic, strain gages, and torque measuring devices.
Now, even inexperienced operators can assemble complex bolted joints with uniform clamp loads within +-5% of design specification. Because measurements are based on tension, the inaccuracies of torque control are eliminated, ensuring optimum initial conditions before an assembly is placed into service.
