A load off your mind

truload is a range of intelligent fasteners that provide accurate loading during assembly and throughout service life.

The truth about industrial fastenings illustrates that variable friction can account for a load difference of as much as 75% between identical bolts tightened to the same torque, with some actual loads at only 50% of expected values. truload allows the load in each fastener to be directly measured. This means that the effects of variable friction can be eliminated, ensuring that every fastener performs to its optimum capability.

truload patented technology is easy to use, is a direct replacement for existing bolts or studs and offers a range of tangible benefits:

• Boost efficiency - Not only are bolts loaded correctly first time, they can be easily spot-checked or continually monitored to track performance throughout their working life. This deeper insight allows maintenance downtime to be planned in advance - minimising disruption and improving the efficiency of core processes.
• Saves money - truload reduces the costs associated with routine maintenance, replacing damaged bolts, repairing defective joints or, worse still, accounting for incidents occurring as a result of joint failure.
• Improves safety and environmental performance - Depending on the application, the result of fastener failure can have significant safety and environmental consequences. A truload system optimises safety standards and minimises environmental impact.
