DESCRIPTION:

A Tension Control Bolt, often abbreviated as TC bolt, is a type of bolt that is designed to be tightened to a specific tension or preload. These bolts are commonly used in structural and construction applications where the integrity of the joint is crucial.

Tension control bolts consist of three main components:

Bolt: The bolt itself is a threaded fastener with a specially designed head.
Nut: The nut is also specially designed and is used in combination with the bolt.
Shear Sleeve: The shear sleeve is a separate component placed between the bolt head and the nut.

The way tension control bolts work is as follows:

The shear sleeve is placed onto the threaded end of the bolt.
The bolt is inserted through the holes in the materials being joined.
The nut is threaded onto the bolt, and a specialized tool is used to grip the shear sleeve while turning the nut.
As the nut is tightened, the shear sleeve twists and eventually breaks off at a predetermined tension level. This breaking of the shear sleeve indicates that the bolt has reached the desired tension.

Tension control bolts are favored in construction because they provide consistent and accurate preload in structural connections. This helps ensure that the joints remain secure and can withstand the forces and loads they are subjected to over time.

Additionally, tension control bolts can be installed relatively quickly and with high precision, making them a popular choice in large-scale construction projects.
