General Information
N/A In addition, to our Strainsert Standard Hex Head, 12-Point Bolts, and Studs, Strainsert also
manufactures many custom force sensing fasteners tailored for unique applications,
installations, and special requirements. These may include customer provided fasteners,
modifications to common fasteners, or new designs.
The internally gaged bolts and studs (invented by Strainsert, U.S. Patent No. 2,873,341) are
designed to accurately measure fastener tensile forces. Compression designs can also be
provided.
The instrumented fasteners allow direct, accurate, and repeatable force measurements from 1/4”
diameter to over 4” diameter in all types of fasteners and materials.
