Retaining Adhesives

These adhesives will retain all cylindrical assemblies subject to radial and axial forces. Using them permits parts to be slip-fitted together instead of being press-fitted. Since this eliminates a major cause of stress concentrations, lighter parts with a thinner wall thickness can be used. Tolerances can also be eased, thus reducing machining time and costs, and assembly time is faster. Sylmasta Superfast Retaining Adhesives can also be used to strengthen existing press fits. (Push-out force, for example, was increased from 6,000 lb to more than 25,000 lb when a Sylmasta retaining adhesive was used on liners in truck cylinder blocks.) Their ability to provide a 100% surface contact which can result in a unitized assembly four times stronger than a press fit, means that they can augment the torques transmission of keys, tapers, pins, splines and driving screws. The advantages of using Sylmasta Superfast products to retain can be summed up as lower manufacturing costs and increased reliability. Assembly stresses (which subsequently reduce fatigue life) caused by press fitting can be eliminated. Stronger, more consistent assemblies are produced, and parts are protected from fretting corrosion during service.

Sylmasta Superfast Retainer R- 601 (50ml)
Price: £9.75 (€13.11) £11.46 (€15.40) Including VAT at 17.5% Sylmasta R- 601 is for high strength retaining of cylindrical and close fitting parts including splines. R-601 will add strength to interference fits and will retain slip fitted parts. Applied to splines it will lock and add strength. The leading edges of the parts to be fitted should be chamfered to help R-601 spread through the joint and not be pushed out. Handling strength is achieved in 10-30 minutes. Functional strength is achieved in 45 minutes. Ultimate strength is achieved in 3 hours. Quantity:

Sylmasta Superfast Bearing Fit B- 641 (50ml) Sylmasta B-641 is for medium strength retaining of cylindrical parts such as bearings. B-641 is for use on parts that may need to be disassembled such as bearings, splines, bushes, shafts and oil seals etc. B-641 will give added strength to slip fitted and interference fitted parts. The thick viscosity will help lubricate the parts during assembly. Thixotropic, stays in place. Handling strength is achieved in 10-30 minutes. Functional strength is achieved in 45 minutes. Ultimate strength is achieved in 3 hours. Price: £9.75 (€13.11) £11.46 (€15.40) Including VAT at 17.5% Quantity:
