TENSFI load sensors are capable of detecting the varying load that is applied to industrial and engineering fastened joints. They are able to support various fastened joint (e.g. stud, bolted) applications ranging between M20 and M64.
TENSFI Intelligent Washers contain all the necessary components to be able to detect the applied load. The information from the washer can be passed through 4-20mA interface or via Modbus RTU over RS485. Using Modbus allows multiple washers to be connected to the same network, also by introducing a gateway device the information can be passed to the cloud where it can be monitored. Alarms against set points can be setup to notify engineers of any change.
