Strainlabs systems
Strainlabs Bolts
Sensor-equipped bolts
Data output from Industrial IoT sensors struggle to be actionable and efficiently integrated with existing maintenance setup and processes. Across industries manual bolt torque inspections are commonly performed due to regulations, praxis, or law requirements.
Strainlabs System allow the oldest machine – the bolt – to become the sensor which gives asset owners increased control over asset condition, as well as custom alerts before a functional failure occurs. Strainlabs Bolts has been examined and CE-marked by the independent certification body Intertek.
Remote preload sensing and monitoring also allows for increased safety and productivity for maintenance teams.
- Calibrated bolt preload data with thermal compensation & temperature data
- Instant installation feedback – ensure that the correct preload achieved from installation
- Preload inspection every 10 minutes in active mode (reduced interval when below 0ºC)
Standard range
Strainlabs IoT solution can be incorporated into as small bolts as M10 bolts. With the standard range spanning up to M20 the most common bolt sizes are covered.
When and where is it relevant to implement Strainlabs System?
Due to the wide use of bolted joints across industries, Strainlabs can provide valuable & actionable data to virtually any business, process or asset.
Range of Strainlabs Bolts
The standard range of Strainlabs Bolts include M10-M20 hex head bolts.

Once the battery is discharged, Strainlabs IoT bolts can either remain in the join (function as a traditional bolt) or be replaced. Strainlabs bolts are recyclable, just dismantle the PCBA from the metal parts and the battery is easily removed from its clip. Recycle separately the electronics, the battery and the steel / stainless steel.
