Patent ID: 8033000

Claim:
A method for effecting a screwed connection, wherein the screwed connection comprises a threaded bolt; a nut; a washer that is arranged between the nut and a surface of a component to be clamped; a measuring element arranged in the washer for measuring a compressive force generated by tightening the screwed connection; and the washer having an anti-rotation device oriented toward the surface of the component; the method comprising the steps of: positive-lockingly engaging the washer by a holding tool of a screwing device and positive-lockingly engaging the nut by a tightening tool of the screwing device comprising the holding tool and the tightening tool, the holding tool engaging an outer periphery of the washer, wherein the washer has no positive or frictional connection to the threaded bolt; tightening the nut by the tightening tool of the screwing device, wherein the holding tool has no torque supporting action on the threaded bolt or on any other part so that a reaction moment, generated when tightening the nut by the tightening tool, is introduced from the screwing device through the washer into the component to be clamped.
