Thread Locker Is Used To Keep Assemblies Tight As Vibration May Cause Them To Loosen
Semi-permanent
BLUE Thread Locker
Due to the vibrations caused by operation, nuts, bolts, and set screws may have a tendency to loosen.
Repeated tightening is not the solution, instead, the careful application of thread locker is required.
Thread locker works something like a glue. There are various types of thread locker, from permanent
types which are usually RED in color, to semi-permanent types which are usually BLUE in color. BLUE
thread locker is what is recommended. Thread locker is not needed with nylon-lock nuts, nor where
metal screws thread into plastic. Finally, be careful to remove all traces of oil or grease by applying a
degreaser or acetone to bolts prior to assembly - clean with a paper towel until all traces are gone.
NOTE: Use care when using thread locker near bearing areas as
contamination may ruin the bearing and cause it to seize.
Never use thread locker on metal to plastic
