FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM: INVESTIGATION OF BEARING RETENTION BY USE OF ADHESIVE OR SEALANTS

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0437251 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This report discusses the results of tests conducted on installation of bearings using sealants or adhesives. Tests were conducted to determine the effect on beakaway torque resistance to vibration under load time and temperature properties under axial load resistance to water, JP-4 fuel, and ethylene glycol and the maximum thrust to remove bearings after each of the preceding tests. Methods of cleaning the bearing outer race were also studied. These various tests were conducted in close coordination with the Design Group. The use of Loctite sealants, grades A and B proved to be entirely feasible for bearing installations in steel housings, but are not adequate for use in aluminum housings.
