Screw Fixing Monitoring
German title: | Screw Fixing Monitoring | |
Acronym: | Screw Fixing Monitoring | |
Duration: | 1st January 2019 - 31st December 2020 | |
Description: | A sensitive washer was developed to determine the bolt preload force of a bolted joint over its entire service life. The basis of the measuring system is formed by silicon strain sensors, which are integrated in the spring body designed as a washer. To ensure that the measuring system does not represent a weak point for the connection, the mechanical properties of the spring body are comparable to a solid washer for high-strength bolted connections. | |
