Liner Bolts - Top Causes Why They Break and How You Can Fix Them | Boltstress Ultrasonics
Eliminate liner bolts failures
Liner bolts failures are extremely common. There are several reasons why Liner bolts fail (break or loosen off) and the vast majority of these can be eliminated if the pre-load and maintenance are correct.
Liner bolts failures can cost you production losses and be expensive to repair. We have developed systems, services and products that prevent these failures but also reduce the existing shutdown durations and eliminate re-torquing.
Case Study: Grinding Circuit Re-Lines
The foundation of our knowledge base has been built by measuring the actual bolt tension achieved by any tightening method. This has given rise to a knowledge base that has driven the solutions that we now provide, the two key factors are: Ultrasonic Bolt Tension Measurement & Joint Analysis Management

1. Tooling is often bought to cover a variety of applications, there is often a quicker and more accurate option if specifically engineered tools are used. We have a dedicated design team that provide lighter, safer and higher strength tooling.
Manufacturers of tooling make claims and counter claims concerning accuracy of any given method but the biggest contributor to failure is the joint design. One of these common designed failures is short bolts, or more accurately short clamp length to diameter ratios.
We have 30 year's experience with the technology and 9 years specifically working on Mill Liner bolts. We are 100% confident that we can both eliminate failures and remove the re-torque process.
