LOAD MONITORING FASTENERS (LMF+®)

 

Load Monitoring Fastener+® (LMF+®) is a wireless, accurate, and automatic load monitoring fastener system. The LMF+® is extremely easy to use and will allow users to continually observe and record the true tension (tightness) of fasteners, both during installation and while equipment is in operation. Automated alerts will notify you if tension exceeds or falls below predetermined and updateable values or thresholds.

 

WHY CHOOSE LMF+®

 

BoltSense® LMF+® offers real-time, accurate, and automatic tension monitoring fastener system that allows our customers to make data informed decisions to pinpoint and address any deviations from optimal tension values. This groundbreaking technology significantly reduces downtime for mission-critical equipment which saves our customers tens of millions of dollars annually thanks to our BoltSense® suite of products.

THE FUTURE OF CRITICAL BOLTING

 

Loose Bolts Break. It’s a simple truth, but one that has caused countless failures, unplanned downtime, and massive repair costs in industries just like yours. Every day, bolted joints in critical applications quietly lose tension—until they fail. The consequences? Catastrophic equipment damage, production delays, and unexpected safety hazards.

 

Torque Does Not Equal Tension. You tighten bolts to a specified torque, but that doesn’t guarantee they’re holding the load they should. Friction, surface conditions, and operator variability mean that torque can give a false sense of security. The result? Bolts that are either too loose or overstressed—both lead to failure.

 

Ensure Every Installation is Correct. BoltSense® LMF+®  doesn’t guess. It measures. Our tension-monitoring fasteners confirm that each bolt is correctly loaded from the start and stays that way during operation. This isn’t about selling you more bolts, it’s about giving you confidence that your equipment is secure, your downtime is minimized, and your team is safe.

 

LOAD INDICATING FASTENERS (LIF)

 

Load Indicating Fastener includes the same base fastener as the LMF+® product, but without the continuous transmitting cap. Instead, the LIF has a stainless steel dust cap, and readings can be taken anytime with a clip-on reader (both magnetic and screw-on.)

WHY CHOOSE LIF?

 

While BoltSense® LIF bolts offer the same base fastener as the LMF+® bolt, the data stream is not continuous. This does, however, allow our customers to take a snapshot when checking the LIF bolts with a clip-on reader that is used to capture the current state or "snapshot" from the moment the data is retrieved. Our LIF bolts are a great alternative for those that would like to make data informed decisions, but may not require continuous monitoring through the transmitting cap that our LMF+® product offers.
