adhesive (chemically reactive)

spedcaps®
  • high loosening resistance
  • micro-encapsulated, 2-component liquid adhesive
  • applied ready for insertion
  • good seal up to 400 bar
  • high temperature resistance
  • complies with DIN 267, Part 27


clamping (chemically non-reactive)

spedlack®spedstop® / TUF-LOK®
  • as adjusting screw
  • loss-proof pre-assembly
  • for multiple re-use
  • applied ready for insertion
  • spot or all-round coating
  • high loosening values
  • for multiple re-use
  • complies with DIN 267, Part 28



mechanical

POWERLOK®TAPTITE 2000®
  • attached 30° point
  • used in tapped threads
  • functions irrespective of temperature
