No Cleaning Or Priming With These High-Temp Threadlockers

Henkel offers two new Loctite® threadlockers that withstand consistent operating temperatures up to 360 F. Curing consistently and thoroughly without cleaning, they tolerate oils and lubricants typically found on “as received” threaded fasteners. They also cure without primers on plated, aluminum, stainless and chromated fasteners. Loctite 243™ is a medium-strength threadlocker that can be disassembled using standard hand tools. Loctite 263™ is a high-strength product for applications where permanent assembly is required. Both products provide a leakproof, corrosion-free seal, and prevent fastener loosening due to temperature-induced expansion and contraction.

Simply & Accurately Measure % FAME In Your Diesel Fuel

Diesel fuel containing up to 5% biodiesel meets the ASTM D975 standard, which does not require disclosure of the biodiesel level. A2 Technologies’ method for determining contamination levels of % FAME in diesel fuel utilizes the company’s PAL FTIR analyzer, a sensitive transmission IR sampling interface as specified in EN 14078, and the universal algorithm and sample set specified in ASTM D7371.

Motor Brakes With Oil Shear Technology

According to Force Control Industries, the company’s MagnaShear motor brake with oil shear technology stands up well in a range of demanding applications. Proven oil shear technology offers a number of benefits: It transmits torque between lubricated surfaces, thus eliminating wear on friction surfaces. A patented fluid recirculation system dissipates heat, a common problem in dry braking systems. The technology also provides a smooth “cushioned” stop that reduces shock to the drive system. These motor brakes are well suited for operations where a motor is reversed each cycle, including loader/unloader conveyors, pallet-return conveyors, pallet turnover, load spade assembly and unloader assembly.

Continuous Thermal-Fluid/Hot-Oil Filtration For Asphalt Plants

Liquid Process Systems’ patented Vector Series Model VB10C Thermal Fluid Filtration System was developed specifically for hot- and warm-mix asphalt and associated plants. According to the manufacturer, it continuously filters contaminants on a side-stream basis down to 10 microns. System flow and pressure available from the plant process is used to recirculate thermal fluid or hot oil from the pump discharge through the filter. Clean fluid is then returned to the suction side of the pump.

Bearings For Harsh Washdown Conditions

Dodge® Ultra Kleen ball bearings from Baldor provide extended life in the harsh washdown conditions typically found in the food and beverage industry. They feature the QuadGuard™ sealing system with a triple-lip seal (which offers three points of contact, keeping lubricants in and contaminants out) and a rubberized flinger that provides another barrier to contaminants. The ball retainer, or Maxlife™ cage, has a two-piece design that creates a grease compartment around each rolling element, affording constant contact between ball and grease. The bearings come in stainless steel and polymer housings with all-stainless steel inserts.
