Common challenges related to
cylindrical assemblies in
an industrial pump

Apparent causes behind these challenges
Dynamic loading
Severe service environments
Root Cause

Despite high interference and machining, there’s only 20-40% metal to metal contact. The rest is gap which allows:
- Dynamic loads to loosen the fit
- Air to get trapped in the interface causing fretting corrosion
loctite solution


Loctite 641
Medium strength retaining compound that fills all gaps between the cylindrical components and solidifies to unitize them, thereby:
