What adhesive should be used to fix the temperature of centrifugal compressor bearing shells?
Thread Content
I would like to ask the experts here: what type of adhesive should be used for the shaft bearing temperature sensor (PT100) in centrifugal compressors?
Isn’t it threaded? Just screw it on
The compressors from SHENGU are not threaded; the thermal resistors are installed inside the ceramic blocks. Previously, AB glue was used for bonding them, but it’s difficult to remove them. I wonder if there is any other adhesive available?
Kraft 704 RTV silicone rubber has a certain degree of elasticity, is oil-resistant, white in color, and requires moderate effort to clean. This is applied to both fix the thermal resistance of the SHENGU unit and prevent oil leakage at the joints exiting the unit.
The original poster probably meant to use glue for sticking, not for sealing, right?
Shenmu has sealing rubber plugs, and they work well. Later on, we covered it with cotton gauze soaked in 704 glue to seal it; there was slight leakage, but it was acceptable.
