  • Patent number: 10391618
    Abstract: The invention relates to a pull-out tester (1) for a setting tool used for setting a setting bolt (3), comprising a retaining part (4) for holding the setting bolt (3), an elastic element (7), at least one means (9) for transmitting a pull-out force acting on the setting bolt (3) onto the elastic element (7) such that if a pull-out testing force acting on the setting bolt (3) is exceeded, the connection between the setting bolt (3) and the pull-out tester (1) can be detached due to a deformation of the elastic element (7). The problem addressed by the invention is that of being able to provide a substantially constant pull-out testing force, even in different temperatures and with a different pull-out speed of the pull-out tester (1).
