Processing note for sticking
The provided sticky tapes stick well on clean, dry and plain surfaces. The more pollution exists
the more proper the surface has to be. A surface roughness of R
a
<= 3,2 (R
z
<= 25 / N8) is rec-
ommendable. Typical solvent for cleaning surfaces are a 50/50 - isopropyl-alcohol / water mix-
ture or heptane. The surfaces of materials as copper, brass etc. should be sealed to avoid an
oxidation. The stability of the adhesion is directly depending on the contact, which the adhesive
develops to the stuck surfaces. A high pressure results in a good surface contact.
The optimal sticking temperature is b 21°C and 38°C.
Avoid colder sticking surfaces than + 10 °C, because in this case the adhesive becomes to hard
and perhaps a sufficient immediate adhesion is hardly to achieve. After proper sticking the sta-
bility of the connection is ensured also when the temperature is below zero. The final tackiness
of a sticking is from experience reached after approximately 72 hours (at + 21 °C). For sticking
use only the provided sticky tape.
Resistance to chemicals of the magnetic tape
The magnetic tape shows
no or only small effects
when contacting permanently the following
materials after 2 to 5 years:
Formic acid, Glycerol 93°C, Linseed oil, Soy beans oil, Cotton seed
oil, N-hexane, Lactic acid, Formaldehyde 40%, Isooctane, Petroleum.
Poor to medium effects
result when contacting permanently the following materials after ap-
proximately 1 year:
Acetone, Gasoline, Acetic acid 30%, Olein acid, Acetylene, Steam, Acetic
acid, pure Acetic acid, Sea water, Ammonia, Acetic acid 20%, Isopropyl ether, Stearic acid 70°C
anhydrous, Kerosene.
Strong effects result
when contacting permanently the following materials after 1 to 5
months:
Benzene, Nitric acid 70%, Turpentine, Toluene, Lacquer solvent, Nitric acid red and
Vitriolic, Carbon Tetrachloride, Trichloroethane, Nitrobenzene, Hydrochloric acid 37% and 93°C,
Tetrahydrofuran, Xylene.
Sticking and cutting
Attention!
When sticking the magnetic tape pay attention to the marks on the mag-
netic tape. A faulty installation delivers incorrect values. An already stuck magnetic
tape is ruined after removing and can't be used again. Observe also the counting
direction of the measuring system.
The magnetic tape and the covering band must be cut to the exact length before sticking:
Magnetic tape length = measuring 0.1 m
Preferably the magnetic tape should be stuck into a nut or aligned to an edge.
Procedure for sticking:
1. The magnetic tape is already factory bonded with the steel band, in between is a double sided
sticky tape. Stick the provided sticky tape onto the carrier side (= steel band).
2. Now adjust the magnetic tape and stick it onto the surface. The best way to stick the mag-
netic tape is to do it in two steps. Remove the first half of the adhesive film from the sticky tape
and stick it, then do the rest length.
3. Then stick the sticky tape onto the covering band. It is not important on which side of the
covering band the sticky tape is stuck on.
4.
Stick the covering band onto the visible brown magnetic rubber tape
