Application/Areas
RT01: Formulated for bonding cylindrical parts, to give high strength bonds. Typical applications includes bonding gears on to shafts. Designed to augment the strength of interference fit and press fit assemblies. Once applied, parts slip together easily, lubricated by the adhesive.

RT38: Formulated for bonding cylindrical parts, to give very high strength bonds. Typical applications include locking sleeves onto shafts. Designed to augment the strength of slip fit assemblies.

RT41: Formulated for bonding cylindrical parts, to give medium strength retaining. Typical applications include mounting bearings on shafts and into housings. The controlled medium strength allows disassembly for servicing and bearing replacement.

RT48: Formulated for bonding cylindrical parts, to give high strength bonds. Typical applications include mounting gears and rotors on to shafts. RT48 is designed to augment the strength of press fit assemblies.
  • Used in the assembly components such as bearings, gears, shafts, bushes, pulleys, cylinder liners and rotors

  • Increases the load bearing properties of cylindrical joints

  • Reduces assembly stresses

  • Reducesmachining costs

  • Can replace traditional and more expensive methods of securing cylindrical assemblies
