In this episode, we talk to our expert about the crucial role of retaining compounds in both machinery repair and manufacturing processes. While these adhesives are well-established in the machinery repair market, their potential in standard assembly materials for manufacturing is often overlooked. We explore how retaining compounds enhance the assembly of cylindrical parts, such as bearings, bushings, gears, and rotors, onto housings or shafts. We also discuss their ability to address surface irregularities, prevent issues like fretting corrosion and oxidation, and distribute stress more uniformly, ultimately increasing reliability and revenue in both maintenance and initial product assembly processes.
