Gearbox mounting bolts are vital, structural components that bear the entire weight and output of the drivetrain. They operate under extreme and relentless demands: continuous engine and driveline vibration, massive torque loads during acceleration, and violent shock loads during hard shifts or impacts. A failure in these structural bolts is catastrophic,leading to immediate drivetrain separation, severe component damage, and potential safety hazards.
Don’t compromise the foundation of your drivetrain; anchor the gearbox with the toughest chemical lock.
INCURE Re-Lok™ B72 Red Heavy Duty Threadlocking Adhesive
For securing structural, high-torque components like the gearbox or transmission housing to the chassis or engine,maximum permanent strength is non-negotiable. The INCURE Re-Lok™ B72 Red is a high-strength, anaerobic adhesive engineered to deliver the highest level of security against the most severe dynamic and static loads.
| Feature & Benefit | Technical Insight for Gearbox Mounting Bolts | Conversion Value |
| High Strength, Permanent Lock | Provides the maximum breakaway and prevailing torque, securing structural fasteners up to M36 against loosening from intense torque and shock loads. | Absolute Security: Achieve a permanent, non-negotiable bond for the most critical powertrain connection. |
| Superior Shock and Shear Resistance | Cures into a solid, rigid thermoset plastic that completely fills all clearances between threads, damping sudden shock loads and preventing fastener fatigue. | End the Movement: Eliminate all microscopic play, ensuring the gearbox alignment and structural integrity remain perfect. |
| High Thermal Resistance | Withstands continuous operating temperatures up to 230°C, maintaining stability even near hot engine blocks or exhaust systems. | Heat-Proof Confidence: Ensure the chemical lock remains robust under the harshest thermal conditions. |
| Contaminant Tolerance | Designed to cure quickly and reliably even if surfaces are not perfectly clean, tolerating minor oil film typical of the powertrain environment. | Reliable Results: Get dependable performance without requiring excessive, time-consuming preparation. |
Application Steps: Securing Gearbox Mounting Bolts for Structural Integrity
Preparation (Mandatory): Due to the high-stress nature of this application, the threads of both the bolts and the receiving bore must be meticulously cleaned. Use a wire brush and a heavy-duty degreasing solvent. Ensure all surfaces are perfectly dry and free of old grease or oil.
Application: Apply a continuous, liberal bead of Re-Lok™ B72 Red around the entire circumference of the bolt threads,focusing on the area that will be engaged.
Assembly: Immediately install the gearbox and thread the bolts. Using a calibrated torque wrench, tighten the bolts to the manufacturer’s specified value. Do not under-torque, as proper clamping force is essential for joint rigidity.
Curing Time (Critical): Allow a full 24 hours for the adhesive to achieve its maximum high-strength and load-resistant cure. The vehicle or machinery must not be operated or subjected to full powertrain load until the full cure time is complete.
Stop risking catastrophic mechanical failures and secure your structural components with the toughest chemical integrity.
