Loose bearing fit

[dannyp]

loctite, i loctite loads of agri stuff, very often find you can get away with more than the spec sheet says when needs must,

there is an activator you can get if your inpatient

Jebus lads, roughing up, centre-punching or knurling to fit a bearing is whats popularly known as a BODGE. I would never do it unless it was something that was shortly heading to the scrap yard.

 

[northwest]

Yup. Loctite.

This.

I was skeptical twenty years ago when I was first introduced to it. Now I wouldn't hesitate.

 

[sako243]

Isn’t there a special product in different thicknesses specific for that application?

Bacofoil comes in different thicknesses

Nothing wrong with a bodge if it's done right.

And so is using loctite, and like loctite it works.

Nope, i don't count loctite as a bodge, seeing as its used on brand new cars, machinery etc. I use loctite on things that don't really need it, but i use it as insurance.

I bet there's plenty of old machinery around, still functioning with that "bodge", which were done before Loctite came out.

 

[Milkybars]

Loctite on order.

ordered 638 based on this from the loctite book.

@Brad93 interested in knowing where the book/guide came from ??

I read sealey and thought its probably only worth peanuts

 

[Brad93]

Punching would align it better than filling a gap with a bonding agent. I'd say easier/more convenient, not necessarily better.

Only if you do every punch mark exactly the same i would have though.

cromwells back when they had actual stores and trade desks

 

[brightspark]

was quite common practice to knurl valve guides fitted in worn aluminium heads to tighten them up with a dab of Loctite

Yes called tolerance rings, ok on bigger shafts/bearings but not really any good when you are down to a gnats dangler on a miniature bearing .

Started a similar thread a few weeks ago and was introduced to tolerance rings. All working fine now but it was a 40mm shaft.

Punching shafts might work for a while or on lightly loaded things but the bearing wore a chunk of steel away chattering previously, it's going to laugh at a few punch marks.

Time is money, loctite is expensive. Bin it and buy new grinder!

it’s not being used because the manufacturer specified it’s use, or as a back up, it’s being used because the bearing seat is damaged,

the none bodge method is to turn it and sleeve it back to size, or replace completely,

glueing the bearing in is an acceptable bodge.
