Proper Selection & Installation of a Superscrew Splice

Davis Industrial technicians recently completed emergency repairs for a customer who suffered catastrophic splice failure during after-hours production. According to the customer, this splice lasted a single revolution of the system. Our highly trained, 24/7 emergency team responded to the site and immediately began assessing the problem to develop a solution. After completing the repairs, the splice was returned to our shop for evaluation. Several factors were immediately observed which contributed to the complete failure and unnecessary downtime for this customer. While a highly reliable product, mechanical splices must be installed properly to gain the advantages of high strength and durability.
