How to use BoltSafe for condition monitoring
BoltSafe bolt load sensors are perfectly suited for use in condition monitoring applications. By placing a BoltSafe sensor on a bolted connection, you can continuously monitor the bolt load during installation and operation. This enables real-time condition monitoring of critical joints. This helps to prevent underload, overload, and costly manual inspections. Instead of estimating, the coefficient of friction can be measured precisely, allowing you to determine the optimal tool settings to achieve the desired bolt load.
This valuable data improves operational safety and provides better control over bolted connections. As a result, condition-based monitoring with BoltSafe reduces maintenance costs during installation and throughout the equipment’s lifetime. Bolt-related failures can be detected and prevented more easily than ever. This makes BoltSafe sensors an excellent choice for an industrial condition monitoring system or remote condition monitoring setup.
With multiple wireless readout methods available, BoltSafe offers flexible online condition monitoring solutions. Whether you require a single sensor or a large-scale wireless condition monitoring system with hundreds of sensors, we provide the most suitable solution for every project.

What is condition monitoring and why is it important?
Condition monitoring involves the continuous or periodic measurement and analysis of physical parameters to assess the health of mechanical and structural components. By using condition monitoring sensors and analyzing the collected data, signs of wear, stress, or damage can be detected at an early stage.
It plays a vital role in predictive maintenance, ensuring that maintenance is carried out only when necessary. This helps organizations avoid unnecessary inspections and downtime, while preventing failures before they become critical. In short, condition monitoring and predictive maintenance improve reliability, safety, and cost-efficiency across industries.
Typical issues that can be detected early include leaking gasket joints, loosening bolts, and fatigue-related bolt failures. A condition monitoring system can identify these issues before they escalate. This approach is particularly valuable for applications such as rotating equipment condition monitoring, wind turbine condition monitoring and check-ups on energy plants, bridges, pipelines, cranes, and rail infrastructure. BoltSafe sensors enable precise remote condition monitoring of bolted joints in such applications, providing engineers and operators with real-time insights. Better control over bolted constructions is guaranteed!
