Total clamp load control
By being able to control the clamp load in bolt joints, you can effectively minimize the risk of dangerous breakdowns, leaks, and human injuries. That is why TensionCam exists. Our patented nuts and IoT based concept enables a more stable, sustainable and safer construction – by giving you total control over your clamp load. From M8 to M100 bolt joints!

TensionCam nuts, sensor concept and app
Very cost-effective and user-friendly
- Reduces service needs by targeting the real root causes of bolting problems.
- Detects and alerts unwanted eccentric load in the bolted joint.
- The operator does not need to perform any calibration.
- Patented, uniquely designed nuts – available from sizes M8 to M100.
This is how TensionCam works:
1
Our TensionCam nuts are specially designed with a cavity, featuring an 8 mm precisely machined circle at the bottom.
2
At measurement, the TensionCam sensor module is docked in the cavity of the nut, to capture images of the circle. The images are sent to the cloud via the TensionCam app, where unique algorithms calculate the exact diameter of the circle. This to detect changes in the circle diameter due to changes in the axial clamping load, as a result of a bending moment – as visualised in the video clip.
3
Seconds later, the calculated clamp load data is displayed in your TensionCam app. If the load eccentricity is detected to be too high, an alarm will alert you and you should loose the bolt joint and re-tighten again. This allows you to effectively reduce the risk of failure due to diminished fatigue properties in the bolted joint.
4
This measuring procedure can be repeated at every follow-up and inspection during service life. Additionally, in the TensionCam web portal, you will find Trend and Load Scatter diagrams for each individual bolt joint and nut.
The result is a safer and more stable construction
With TensionCam, you can effectively keep track of each bolt and nut, and ensure a safer and more economically smart construction – all thanks to total clamp load control. Read more about the TensionCam technology, our bolts, our nuts and how to avoid common clamp load misstakes.
