Drone frame bolts are the foundation of any multi-rotor, operating under immense stress: constant, extreme high-frequency vibration from the propellers, continuous cyclic loads, and severe shock loads from rough landings or crashes. A loose frame bolt can cause flight instability, signal noise, and catastrophic frame separation. However, due to the high rate of maintenance and modification in the hobby, these small screws must be easily removable.
Don’t let vibration ruin your flight or strip your threads; secure the frame with a reliable, serviceable lock.
INCURE Re-Lok™ B22 Purple Light Duty Threadlocking Adhesive
For securing small-diameter fasteners (often M3 or smaller) used in carbon fiber and aluminum drone frames,preservation of thread integrity during service is paramount. The INCURE Re-Lok™ B22 Purple is the ideal solution,providing excellent anti-vibration security that is easily overcome by small hand tools.
| Feature & Benefit | Technical Insight for Drone Frame Bolts | Conversion Value |
| Low Strength (Light Duty) | Provides enough thread lock to prevent vibration-induced loosening for fasteners up to M6, allowing for easy removal with small hand tools. | Thread Protection: Secure the flight, but ensure delicate aluminum or carbon fiber threads remain intact during repairs. |
| Small Fastener Focus | Ideal for the extremely small M2/M3/M4 screws common in drone assembly, which have very low inherent break torque thresholds. | Designed for Precision: Secures the tiniest screws without risking thread galling or shearing upon removal. |
| Vibration Security | Cures inside the thread gap, blocking all movement caused by high-frequency motor vibration, which is the primary cause of screw back-out. | Silence the Noise: Prevent loose screws from adding vibration and electronic noise to the sensitive flight controller. |
| Thixotropic Viscosity | Exhibits excellent flow control, ensuring the product stays on the small threads without running onto electronics or carbon surfaces. | Clean Assembly: Use the product precisely where needed, avoiding contamination of electrical components. |
Application Steps: Securing Drone Frame Bolts for Reliable Flight
Preparation (Mandatory): Clean the threads of both the bolts and the frame’s mounting inserts thoroughly with a degreasing solvent, ensuring surfaces are clean and dry. This step is crucial for small screws to ensure the minimal amount of product cures effectively.
Application: Apply a single, tiny drop of Re-Lok™ B22 Purple to the middle threads of the frame screw. Only a minute amount is required due to the fastener size.
Assembly: Install the screw and tighten carefully to the manufacturer’s specified value (usually very light for small metric screws). Avoid over-torquing, as the threadlocker will provide the needed security.
Curing Time (Critical): Allow a minimum of 24 hours for the adhesive to achieve its maximum strength and anti-vibration resistance before subjecting the drone to flight power.
Stop risking flight instability and frame failure; secure your precision aircraft with chemical certainty.
