In the field of mechanical engineering, one of the most popular and sought-after methods for fixing parts is a threaded connection. It is widely used in the repair of mechanisms, as well as in the assembly of structural elements. Threaded connections can be fixed in various ways. However, it is recommended to use Loctite thread lock, which after the tests carried out showed quite high rates of preservation of the compression force.
Features of the use of thread lockers
Why is it advisable to use Loctite thread locker? Among the advantages of this type of threaded connection, one can note an increase in the operating period, as well as an improvement in the operation of the equipment. Thread locks are distinguished depending on the type of strength. It can be both small, medium, and high.
It is advisable to use thread lockers depending on the goals and objectives. The adhesive ability of the thread lockers is at a high level.
Which Loctite threadlocker should you choose?
The Solutions Catalog offers several threadlocker options to suit your specific needs:
- Loctite 268 high strength. This fixative belongs to one-component anaerobic fixatives of medium strength. In composition, it is a semi-solid waxy substance.
- Loctite 248 medium strength.
- Loctite 290. The substance has a low viscosity. It provides varying degrees of strength, from medium to high.
- Loctite 222 low strength. This product will be required for the purpose of easy dismantling of connections. Polymerization is carried out in the absence of air in the gaps between metal surfaces.
This is not the whole list of fixatives presented in the catalog. You can explore the options and choose for specific goals and objectives.
Features of choosing threaded fasteners
Threaded fasteners can be characterized by different technical parameters. Among them, thread diameter, strength, breakaway torque for bolts, operating temperature, fluidity can be noted.
For each type of fixative, there are specific instructions for use. So, initially the surface of the part must be thoroughly cleaned, dried and degreased. On the description page for each type of retainer, a detailed description is offered, indicating technical characteristics, instructions for use. To get acquainted with the choice of options for threaded fasteners, you can refer to the website of the Rubinis-M company.
