Pump breakdowns have a significant negative impact on costs and productivity. Many of these breakdowns are the result of simple needless failures, such as the loss of clamp load between two assemblies caused by a loose fastener. Proactive maintenance can reduce the risk of such breakdowns and increase pump reliability and longevity.

Industrial gearboxes play an important role in processing and manufacturing facilities. For plant professionals, the ultimate goal is to maximize machinery output, reliability and efficiency.

Electric motors are the primary driving equipment in any plant and hence are extremely critical to ensure uninterrupted productivity.

Learn why using a primer when applying a liquid adhesive is critical to your manufacturing process.

Lock assemblies against vibration by filling all microscopic spaces between interfacing threads.

You only have to answer three simple questions, to find the right LOCTITE product for your threadlocking needs.

Learn more about the mechanics of a threaded fastener and how they work and why LOCTITE threadlockers help to solve vibrational stress.

Threaded Fastener Reliability can be comprised by four major factors. Self-loosening of both, relaxation in bolt tension, different thermal expansion and corrosion. LOCTITE threadlockers help prevent these issues by increasing reliability of threaded joints.

LOCTITE Threadlockers come in various strengths, ranging from removable with hand tools to removable with localized heat. They are proven to increase reliability of threaded joints.

Mechanical locking methods such as spring washers attempt to improve reliability in threaded fasteners. But do they help, or is there a better way?
