Drive size                                                               Comparison of piezo elements

The following drive sizes are necessary to apply the piezo
element:

Drive       Torx®        TorxPlus® LocTec® Internal hex                  Piezo element             Piezo  PMTS

Internal    ≥ TX 30      ≥ IP 30                  ≥ 30-LI ≥ SW 3         Low costs
load drive               ≥ 5EP

External    ≥ E5                                  not        ≥ SW 3      Short delivery lead time
load drive                                        available

Other drives on request                                                  Temperature-resistant

Temperature range                                                        Media-resistant

The temperature range is restricted by the piezo element                 Corrosion-resistant
used, as below:
                                                                         Note: Depending on the application it is possible to make a special measuring head
                                                                         to take variant measurements.

The following screw materials can be qualified:
• Steel                                                                                            Source: Intelifast GmbH
• Aluminum

Processes carried out on the screw

To qualify and implement the ultrasound preload force
measurement the following mechanical processes need to be
made on the fasteners:
• Plane parallel surface at head
• Plane parallel surface at tip
• Apply piezo element
