BEST-MK joining

Bonding of coaxial components with BEST-MK:

BEST-MK metal adhesives are used in the field of shaft-hub-connections. The liquid product is applied to the bonding parts and cures by exclusion of oxygen and under influence of metal ions. Bonding with metal adhesives replaces conventional joining or fastening methods and provides many advantages, e.g.:

• reduces material weight at maximum load transmission capability
• reduces overall production cost
• augments or replaces press fits
• joins dissimilar materials
• reduces risk of frictional corrosion and seizure
• provides uniform stress distribution
• eliminates distortion during installation
• provides protective seal
• increases strength of press fits
• provides more rigid, accurate assemblies, etc.

Fields of application:

• mounting of:

o bearings in housings or shafts
o rotors, gear wheels, chain wheels or belt pulleys on spline shafts
o guide bushings for drilling jigs

• inserting of cylinder liners
• replacing of fitted keys and studs,
• etc.
