Loctite 270 (studlock)

At high amplitudesand high bolttensions, the onsetof fatigue is rapid -the fastener doesnot loosen
Due to the fatigueproblem, bolttension is onlymaintained atlower amplitudes

• What's the ideal bolt tension?• What happens if the tension is reduced?• Is the length of the thread insert significant to its
locking effect?• Do “base” materials alter the locking effect?• How many times can you “do and undo bolts”
and still get the locking effect?• How long do bolts stay locked?
What we needed to find out:
