Permabond® HM160 is a medium viscosity liquid adhesive that cures when confined between metal parts to form a tough, hard plastic. In the uncured, liquid state, the adhesive wets the metal surfaces, keying into all surface irregularities and fills the space between the mated parts.
Key Features
- Reduces cost by allowing the use of lighter press fits
- Speeds production by utilizing easier to assemble tolerances
- Prolongs bearing life by reducing stress caused by press fits
- Improves alignment by filling space between bearing rings and housings
- Keeps machinery on line by dressing worn parts
- Strengthens the joint by augmenting the press fit used to assure concentricity of the shafts and bearings
- Prevents corrosion between mated parts by excluding air and moisture from the joint
- Prevents loosening caused by vibration and thermal expansion
