Learn how to secure bearings, bushes and cylindrical parts in housings or on shafts by using retaining compounds. It is a type of anaerobic adhesive, filling the inner space between componens and cure to form a  strong precision assembly. This is a standard method for assembling press- and slip-fitted parts.

STEP 1



Preparation and Cleaning

For easy removal of any residue of old retaining adhesive, use LOCTITE® SF 7200. Then, prior to applying adhesive, use LOCTITE® SF 7063 to degrease and clean surfaces.

STEP 2a

Application — For slip fitted assemblies

Apply the adhesive around the leading edge of the male component and the inside of the female component and use a rotating motion during assembly to ensure good coverage.

STEP 2b

Application — For press fitted assemblies

Apply adhesive thoroughly to both bond surfaces and assemble at high constant pressure. Use slow curing products for press fitted assemblies.

STEP 2c

Application — For shrink fitted assemblies

Apply the adhesive to the shaft, heat the collar/hub to create sufficient clearance for easy assembly. 

Optional



Disassembly

For disassembly of the bonded shaft/hub connection apply localised heat at approximately 250°C. Disassemble the parts while they are still hot.
