Load Indicating Fasteners

Maxbolt Load Indicating Fastener
Maxbolt load indicating fasteners continuously displays the amount of tension in a bolt or stud. They offer a simple method for accurate joint assembly, and it is the only product available (for most applications) that will continuously clamping force while the fastener is in service.

Maxbolt load indicating fasteners are manufactured by inserting extremely accurate and durable load monitoring devices into high quality bolts and studs. Now, even inexperienced workers can complete complex assemblies with full assurance that fasteners are at the proper tension. Maxbolt also provide in-service monitoring which will warn users of any loosening in order to avoid premature wear, unnecessary downtime, or catastrophic failure.

Our Maxbolt load indicating fasteners comes in various shapes and sizes. It can be manufactured from standard ANSI materials to exotic materials.

SPC4 Load Indicating Fasteners
The SPCA load indicating fastener allows user to install a bolted assembly with confidence. The user can constantly monitor the clamp load of any SPC4 bolted joint whether static or dynamic, by attaching a probe to the datum disc located on the end of the fastener and reading the value on a hand held battery powered digital monitor. Optional data gathering and storage of the bolted joint are available.

The integrity of a bolted joint is jeopardized when fasteners lose their tension. This loss of clamping force begins during assembly due to elastic interactions and joint relaxation. Self-loosening continues when the joint is put in service due to vibrations, temperature changes, shocks, etc. The SPC4 joint allows the end-user to retighten only the bolts or studs that have lost their clamp load resulting in a tremendous saving of maintenance time, money and replacement parts. For a minimal investment, the SPC5 offers maximum joint integrity with optimum performance.
