Tork Craft Sleeve Lock High Strength for Large-Diameter Cylindrical Parts (Green)
At a Glance: High-strength anaerobic adhesive for large cylindrical metal parts (shafts, sleeves, housings)
The Tork Craft TCTL020P Sleeve Lock is engineered for permanent locking and sealing of large-diameter cylindrical metal assemblies — such as shafts, sleeves, bearings, bushings and housings. Once cured between closely fitted steel or cast-metal surfaces, this high-strength anaerobic adhesive forms a rigid, vibration-resistant bond that prevents loosening under load or rotational stress. Designed for industrial maintenance, heavy-duty machinery, gearboxes, motor housings or other assemblies where a durable, permanent fit is required.
This adhesive cures rapidly in the absence of air between metal surfaces, filling microscopic gaps and locking parts securely. Its strong bond resists vibration, shock, thermal cycling and loosening — making it ideal for heavy machinery, industrial gearboxes and critical rotating assemblies. Once cured, the joint behaves like a welded or press-fit connection, offering reliability and long service life.
Extra Information
- Ensure all metal surfaces are clean, dry and free of oil, grease or rust before application for proper curing and bond strength.
- Apply a thin, even layer of adhesive to the shaft or housing before assembly — avoid excess that can squeeze out into bearings or lubricant passages.
- After assembly, allow parts to cure undisturbed — handle lightly after approx. 30–60 minutes; full cure and full strength in around 24 hours depending on fit tolerance.
- Once cured, the bond is considered permanent — disassembly may require heat, mechanical force or solvent depending on joint design.
- Not suitable for non-metal materials such as plastics, rubber or wood — only for metal-to-metal cylindrical fits.
Pro Tip
- If the assembly might need future disassembly, use a medium-strength bearing lock instead of this high-strength sleeve lock — this one is ideal for permanent installs.
- For best results on shafts or housings exposed to vibration or thermal cycles, apply adhesive along the full length of the contact surface rather than only at ends — ensures uniform bonding and prevents stress concentration.
Features
- High-strength anaerobic adhesive formula creates a rigid permanent bond between metal cylindrical parts.
- Suitable for large-diameter shafts, sleeves, bearings and housings — ideal when press-fit tolerances are marginal or need reinforcement.
- Compatible with steel, cast iron and common ferrous metals — works reliably in heavy-duty mechanical assemblies.
- Seals against vibration and micro-movement to prevent loosening, galling or fretting under load and rotation.
- Medium-viscosity for good capillary action — ensures even distribution in tight fits and gaps before curing.
- Green-coded for easy identification among maintenance adhesives and sealants.
Benefits
- Permanent, maintenance-free joints: once cured, parts stay locked in place — ideal for gearboxes, motor shafts and structural assemblies.
- Reduced risk of loosening under vibration or rotational stress: secure fit even in demanding industrial or workshop conditions.
- Prevents shaft slippage and misalignment: improves reliability and lifespan of mechanical assemblies and reduces downtime.
- Eliminates need for press-fit tolerances or welding: simplifies assembly and maintenance of shafts, bearings or housings.
- Cost-effective alternative to mechanical locking solutions: avoids need for special collars, locknuts or welding on many repair jobs.
Safety
- Use in a well-ventilated area; avoid inhaling vapours.
- Wear nitrile gloves when applying adhesive; avoid contact with skin and eyes. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water.
- Keep away from heat, sparks, open flame or sources of ignition; store sealed in a cool, dry place.
- Do not use on wet, oiled or dirty metal surfaces — ensure parts are clean and degreased before application.
- Keep out of reach of children; dispose of empty containers in accordance with local hazardous-waste regulations.
