If you have used a torque wrench to ensure correct bolt tension, then you have just become a victim of friction – the forgotten factor. Only by controlling this factor can reliability be restored to the threaded fastener. The correct function of a nut and bolt is to clamp individual parts together with sufficient force, so as to prevent relative movement between the parts. When clamped parts move due to the influence of shock, stress, vibration or thermal forces, structural failures can occur rapidly.

Henkel Australia has released their brand new Loctite Automotive Catalogue. After much feedback and input from our customers, our dedicated Sales, Marketing and Technical teams have come together to produce a comprehensive 48 page catalogue. The Loctite Adhesives and Sealants Guide showcases our new products with new capabilities that provide solutions to your problems and will make selecting the Loctite product you need an easy task.

Henkel offers a variety of Loctite training opportunities in an ongoing commitment to education on engineering adhesives and sealants. For a second time now this worldwide leader delivers the very best in practical ‘hands-on’ experience and technical expertise with the unveiling of a new Loctite ‘Engineering Solutions Vehicle’ (ESV).

Loctite products are now more accessible thanks to the newly created Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) kit from Henkel Australia. The Loctite MRO kit is first step in proactive maintenance that can save your business thousands of dollars. It is packed with the newest technologies for increasing plant and equipment reliability.

When the Maintenance Engineers from Loy Yang Power began working on solutions to repair the plant’s concrete chimney stacks they sought Henkel Australia’s expertise in Loctite Composite solutions. These valuable assets were in need of serious and immediate remedial works. Mortar plugs which were part of the original construction process had over time begun to dislodge from varying heights. There are over 14,000 plugs in the 254m high chimneys. That’s about the same height as Melbourne’s Rialto Building, Sydney’s Centre Point Tower or Gold Coast’s Q1!

Most industrial centrifugal pumps carry a significant capital equipment value, and it is therefore important to extend their useful lives and ensure that they run efficiently and reliably. Proactive maintenance can reduce the risk of breakdowns and increase pump reliability and longevity.

Industrial gearboxes play an important role in processing and manufacturing facilities. Performance must be tailored to an endless diversity of demands, and reliable operation over a long service life with minimum maintenance is a key requirement. For plant professionals, the ultimate goal is to maximise machinery output, reliability and efficiency.
