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.

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.
