Why use thread fastening glue for spur gear slew drive?

The slewing ring of the spur gear slew drive is connected to the housing and the input end adapter flange of the spur gear slew drive is also connected to the housing.

The connection of these components all depend on connecting bolts. When installing the connecting bolts of the spur gear slew drive of the Unique Transmission, apply thread fastening glue on all bolts. At present, the thread fastening glue used by Unique Transmission is LOCTITE’s thread fastening glue. Why use thread fastening glue for connecting bolts? Let us slowly tell you the importance of thread fastening glue.

LOCTITE’s data tells us that the bolt contact area is only 15%,after vibration, the bolt will loosen, then lose the fastening force further will fail. Failure of the connecting bolts of the slewing ring will cause the slewing ring to loosen and fail to maintain the correct position with housing, resulting in too large or too small gear backlash, causing gear damage.Failure of the connecting bolts of the adapter flange will cause the transmission gear to lose its restraint and cannot rotate normally. At the same time, the customer’s geared motor cannot be fixed. The entire gear side components are out of control, which will cause serious damage to related components.

After using Loctite thread fastening glue, the thread gap is filled to form a thermosetting material that can carry high loads and prevent threads from loosening. Ensure that the bolts can stay in a vibrating environment for a long time, ensuring the reliability of the connecting components of the spur gear slew drive.

In conclusion, Unique Transmission recommends that you to use applicable and reliable thread fastening glue to ensure the stable and reliable operation of your equipment. Don’t cause the equipment to stop unexpectedly or even damage because of a small bolt, which will bring you huge losses.
