Glenshooter Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) Following a good clean which included ejector removal on my 525, does the securing grub screw need to be secured with locktite when reassembling ? Would hate it to work loose at the wrong time but it does seem pretty firm! Edited March 15, 2014 by Glenshooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenshooter Posted March 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Thanks for this. Can't believe how many different types of locktite that there are - must be hundreds if not thousands when I accidentally found the industrial website! Blue it is and in case anyone else is interested, here's some stuff I've found. Loctite Threadlocking - Further Information These threadlocking products stop self-loosening and will secure any threaded fastner against vibration, as well as shock loads. They are easy flowing liquids which entirely fill the gaps between mating threads. When used to assemble threaded fastners, Loctite threadlockers permanently secure threaded assemblies and eliminate fretting corrosion by creating unitised assembly. Advantages compared to traditional mechanical locking devices: It prevents unwanted movement, leaks, loosening, as well as corrosion It resist vibration It is a single component which makes it easy and clean to apply Seal threads - allow through-hole tapping Loctite threadlockers are available in different strengths: Low strength - it is removable with standard tools, good for adjustment screws, calibration screws, meters and gauges, and is suitable for thread size up to M80 Medium strength - it is removable with hand tools, but more difficult to disassemble; good for machine tools and presses, pumps and compressors, mounting bolts, gear boxes, and is suitable for thread size up to M80 High strength - It is very hard to dissassemble with standard hand tools and may require localised heat for removal. It is good for permanent assemblies for thread size up to M80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
