Loose bolted electrical connections inevitably leads to system failure.
Common causes for failure:
• Loss of preload due to increased amounts of settling
• Loosening of the connection
• Damage to the conductor materials and chip formation
The essential functional criteria of a safe bolted electrical connection:
• Uniform contact pressure in a defined range
• Permanently existing contact pressure
• Optimal corrosion protection
• Protection of the mating surfaces
• Anti-loosening effect
