Estimating the term…
The invention relates to a monitoring attachment for monitoring a nut (9) of a screw connection for cracking, deformation and/or breakage, wherein the monitoring attachment has a conductor loop which is guided around an outer periphery of the nut (9) and which is interrupted in the event of deformation, cracking and/or breakage of the nut (9). The monitoring attachment is characterised by at least two segments (1, 1′, 1″, 1′″) which together enclose the periphery of the nut (9) and are held together frictionally at at least one radial connection point, wherein the conductor loop is guided over contacts at the connection point.
A monitoring attachment for monitoring a nut of a screw connection, comprising a conductor loop including at least two segments which together enclose a periphery of the nut and are held together by friction at at least one radial connection point, said conductor loop being guided around a periphery of the nut and over contacts at said at least one connection point and which is interrupted in the event of at least one of deformation, cracking and breakage of the nut.
