Revolutionizing Clamp Load Monitoring

Maxbolt Load Indicating Fasteners can revolutionize how a company looks at fasteners—and reduce downtime, premature wear, and catastrophic joint failures. How can a simple bolt be so effective? For starters, Maxbolt is far from simple. There is an extremely accurate and durable load-monitoring device inserted into each fastener. At a glance, technicians will know when the proper load is achieved. During operation, technicians will know if load ever falls out of spec on any bolt, addressing the need immediately instead of waiting for critical equipment failure.

Now, even inexperienced operators can assemble complex bolted joints with uniform clamp loads within +/-5% of the design specifications. With Maxbolts, measurements are based on tension, the inaccuracies of torque control are eliminated, ensuring optimum initial conditions before an assembly is placed into service.

Once in service, Maxbolts provide monitoring to warn users of initial relaxation and any subsequent loosening during operation, with just a quick glance required to confirm clamp load status. Custom Maxbolt labels can show desired operating ranges using a green zone or pinpoint precise clamp load values. The Maxbolt Load Indicating System provides the ultimate safety and reliability in a bolted joint, acting as a constant barometer of the integrity of the bolted joint and providing an added degree of safety.
