Why is Bolted Joint Design Critical?

Although bolted joints are often overlooked during the design stage, they can be critical to the proper function of your product. They need to be designed to be able to withstand all of the normal operating loads that they may experience in-service as well as potential variations resulting from the assembly process without loosening or failing. Failures can be caused by a multitude of factors involving such things as: design and service loads, joint geometry, environmental factors, assembly processes and field service; all of which should be taken into account to ensure a robust joint design.  Loosened and failed bolted joints are one of the largest contributors to warranty and service costs as well product recalls and the bolted joint design services provided by Peak can help to minimize these factors, reducing your costs while enhancing consumer perception of your products.

Peak innovations Engineering helps ensure your bolted joints meet necessary performance requirements, because joint development and testing is our primary core competency.  We will utilize our diverse industry experience and unsurpassed top-tier technology to conduct the analysis necessary to develop and optimize your bolted joint designs. Working in conjunction with your engineers we can develop bolted joints and assembly strategies that maximize performance and efficiency at minimum cost.

 

Bolted Joint Design and Testing

Design of the bolted joint is only the initial step in a sequence that should include testing and validation of both the design and assembly process.  The completed joint to be fully validated should be tested across the full range of both service and assembly conditions to determine worst case performance.  The extensive and unique capabilities available from Peak allow both laboratory testing under controlled environmental conditions or in-field testing of assembled joints under service loading, in addition to on-line assembly testing to determine and validate potential process variability. The outcomes of this testing can prove that the current joint design and assembly process are robust enough to withstand both assembly and service without failures but it can also uncover the potential for critical failures that can be eliminated prior to reaching end users.  The skilled Peak personnel bring many years of global fastener industry experience in addition to a wide breadth of assembly process experience across a wide variety of industries. Using Peak’s equipment, skills and personnel enables you to leverage your existing in-house design and assembly team on key value added areas of your product, while Peak focuses on your fasteners and assembly processes.
