Application description:
LOCTITE retaining compounds secure bearings, bushes
and cylindrical parts into housings or onto shafts.
They achieve maximum load transmission capability
and uniform stress distribution and eliminate fretting
corrosion. Applied as a liquid, they form a 100% contact
between mating metal surfaces, eliminating the need
for expensive replacement parts, time consuming
machining or the use of mechanical methods. LOCTITE
retaining compounds f ll the inner space between
components and cure to form a strong precision
assembly.
Surface preparation:
Components should be clean and free from
contamination such as grease, oil, cutting f uids,
protective coatings, etc. A) Degrease, clean and dry
surfaces prior to applying the retaining compound. For
this you can use LOCTITE SF 7063. B) If the retaining
compound is applied below 5°C, pre-treatment with
Activator LOCTITE SF 7240 or LOCTITE SF 7649 is
advised. The cure speed of the retaining compound can
be also increased by using both.
