Why do bolts and fasteners loosen?
The real
contact area between male and female threads typically reaches only about 30 %
of the nominal surface. This microscopic gap, combined with vibration, impact
and thermal cycling, drives progressive loosening of threaded fasteners.
Loose bolts and fasteners can cause severe consequences: a compromised joint can stop a production line, generate economic losses and pose a significant safety risk.
An
anaerobic adhesive is a single-component resin that cures between metal
surfaces in the absence of oxygen. Applied to a threaded joint, it acts as a
threadlocker and chemical sealant, preventing loosening caused by vibration,
shock or thermal cycling. TORNILOCK® anaerobic threadlockers and thread
sealants fill the void between threads and cure when confined between metals, keeping
the assembly free from vibration-induced loosening.
