Solutions to bolting problems
The basis of our business is solving bolting problems. We write and sell specialist software and run training courses for engineers.
We specialise solely in bolting related matters providing training in this area. We have also developed software on the analysis of bolted joints which is in use world-wide across six continents.
SoftwareBOLTCALC bolted joint analysis
Checks clamp force, bolt overload, fatigue, bearing pressure and thread stripping, allowing for tightening scatter and embedding. It gives a design margin for every failure mode and a report ready for sign-off.
- The “Big Five” failure modesClamp force, overload, fatigue, bearing pressure, thread stripping.
- Tightening and frictionBuilt-in friction library and torque scatter for the minimum reliable preload.
- Embedding lossesPredicts preload lost to embedding over the joint’s service life.
- Inch and metricThread, material and friction databases from ISO, SAE and ASTM data.
