Power Generation

Coal, Hydroelectric, Wind

Power generation uses all types of technology to produce electricity. Most of the world’s electricity comes from power plants that use a turbine, a machine that harnesses the energy of fluid – wind, water, steam or gas – and converts it into useful work.

Power Distribution

Busway, Switchgear, Transformers

Once power is generated, it needs to be transmitted to individual consumers, the final stage in the delivery of electricity. This process requires managing the voltage of electrical current both safely and reliably. Hundreds of thousands of end users rely on power distribution companies to get their electricity, and those companies in turn rely on SmartBolts to supply the necessary fastening solutions.

Measure What Matters

Establishing and maintaining a specific amount of clamp force is the primary goal of bolting. Clamp force is what keeps a bolted connection tight and secure. As a SmartBolt DTI is tightened, tension forces it to stretch, and the visual indicator changes color to represent the amount of tension in real-time. “Torque” is simply a measurement of the twisting force required to spin the nut up along the threads of a bolt, whereas “Tension” is the stretch or elongation of a bolt that provides the clamping force of a joint.

Using no batteries or moving parts, SmartBolts’ built-in, color-coded visual tension indicator will continuously monitor the bolt’s tension to ensure the safest, most reliable connection possible.
