CONCLUSIONS II
Positive Features
High clamping load with moderate tightening force
Small overall dimensions
Great variety of design solutions, adapted to all types of applications
Simple technology
Shortcomings
High stress concentration in the threaded zone (K 2...4)
Difficult to control exactly the clamping load
Requires supplementary solutions to secure clamping
Low mechanical efficiency
Does not ensure centering of the assembled parts
Does not provide sealing
