Bolt Load Measurment
Bolt Load Cells
ABS is the official distributor in India for BoltSafe Bolt Load Cells—specialized, highly accurate load sensors designed to monitor the actual bolt load in bolted joints. Installed like a simple washer, these sensors utilize proprietary magnetoelastic technology instead of conventional strain gauges to measure the subtle deformation caused by tightening, ensuring the load value is determined precisely, not assumed or guessed.
Using BoltSafe load cells eliminates uncertainties about the bolt load, leading to enhanced safety, more reliable joints, and better structural control while reducing installation and maintenance costs throughout the joint's lifespan.

A major issue with bolted connections is the uncertainty of achieving or maintaining the required bolt load, often leading to problems like gasket joint leaks due to uneven or insufficient loading. BoltSafe addresses these bolting issues with its innovative solution: the BoltSafe bolt load cell, which functions as a washer on bolted connections.

Bolt load cells are specialized load sensors installed like a washer on a bolted joint to measure the actual bolt load or tension directly, helping verify joint integrity and tightening performance.
BoltSafe load cells use magnetoelastic technology to detect changes caused by bolt loading and determine the actual load in the joint, rather than estimating bolt tension from applied torque.
The CMS (Continuous Monitoring System) provides real-time and historical bolt-load data and can monitor multiple interconnected sensors. The PMS (Periodic Monitoring System) uses a non-contact handheld probe for on-demand measurements and is useful for confined or difficult-to-access locations.
Yes. The BoltSafe CMS system is designed for continuous monitoring of critical bolted joints and can provide real-time and historical bolt-load data.
Yes. BoltSafe load cells are designed to IP66 standards and can operate in demanding environments, including exposure to oil and seawater, across temperatures from −40°C to +80°C.
Yes. The digital monitoring system can measure both bolt load and sensor temperature, providing additional information about the operating condition of the joint.
