Meets High Torque & Temperature Requirements, Saves Assembly Costs

A leading machine tool accessories manufacturer use shrink fit to assembled torque motors for Bio-Directional Tool Turret, but the shrink fit of assemblies involves heating costs and time, additional labor and lower reliability,
customer wanted to improve on these. Loctite 648 Retaining Compound was successfully tested for stall torque test at 120 deg C and savings of more than 28% on heating costs and labor for customers.

RC™ 609 Makes Extending the Life of the Product Easy
Ney manufactures looking for a way to bond the turbine assembly, a subassembly of the handpiece, which when air hits it, makes the shaft spin. Loctite Retaining Compounds fit the bill. Loctite® RC™ 609 is a low viscosity, rapid-curing liquid. It augments the strength of press-fit assemblies and can be used on slip fits up to “005″ diametrical clearance. RC 609 fixtures in 10 minutes on unprimed steel at room temperature, providing a shear strength of 3000 psi at full cure.

Loctite products had provided Cybex with cost-efficient solutions in the past, now the engineers called on Loctite again to help find a solution of their pivot arms problems in the large product line VR-2. By eliminating the reaming and using Loctite RC 680 with a slip fit, Cybex have been able to reduce thier assembly costs/time by 13%, and still maintain the reliability of their equipment.
