Outperforms Expensive Nylock Nuts, Maintains Clamp Loads under Severe Conditions

Nifty Lifts, Australia makes Hydraulic Lifts used for forestry, mining and construction, 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 checked and re-torqued frequently as any premature failure can result in accidents. Loctite 277 Threadlockers help the customer to solve these problems. Loctite 277 does what nylock nuts can’t - they filll the gap between threads and locks the threads together - creating a unitized assembly that does not loosen under severe vibrations and thermal cycling.

Saves Precious Oil, Prevents Costly Equipment Breakdowns
The hydraulic fittings (1/4” – 3/4” BSP) on the lift loosened and leaked frequently and led to customer complaints. Conventional sealing methods failed to perform under such severe operating conditions. Loctite 577 thread sealant designed to seal coarse threads was successfully tested for the application. With the help of Loctite 577, Nifty Lifts got the biggest gains of improving the equipment reliability and customer satisfaction.
