Outperforms Expensive Nyloc nuts, Maintains Clamp Loads under Severe Conditions

Nifty Lifts, Australia makes Hydraulic Lifts for forestry, mining and construction use. Base turn table of the lift holds boom & bucket and is subjected to severe vibrations, impacts & shear loads. 16mm structural bolts on the turn table loosened under these conditions. Nifty used nyloc nuts to prevent vibrational loosening of these bolts but even nyloc nuts failed to retain clamp load over long periods. Bolts had to be retorqued frequently; any premature failure can result in accidents.

High Performance/High Strength for High Performance Engine
Ryobi Outdoor Products had one new product - state-of-the-art blower, which helped Ryobi to maintain their competitive edge in a very competitive market. The blower reaches speeds of up to 210 mph. The engine components were subjected to temperatures of 500-600°F, and high vibrations from the engine, which runs at over 8000 rpm. Due to space limitations, conventional solutions, such as lock nuts, were not an option for specific engine parts. So Ryobi called on Loctite for help. Loctite 266 provided a quick, permanent solution to a difficult problem.
