A. 2. Mounting screws and lubrication
•
Use A4-80 screw material and quality.
• Use washer under bolt head/between bolt head and mounting flange.
Requirements: DIN 125A, minimum 200HV, A4.
• Lubricate washer surface and underside of bolt head with a lubricant
resulting with a friction coefficient 0,08 to 0,14 between bolt head and
washer. Lubricant shall not contain aluminum, zinc or copper. To prevent
galling when using stainless steel fasteners, lubricant containing MoS
2
is
recommended.
• Use thread lock Loctite 222 or similar, on bolt threads. Be sure that the
amount applied is enough, so no water can get into thread holes after the
bolt is inserted. The thread-
lock’s main purpose in this application is to serve
as a barrier, preventing sea-water to act as a catalyst between bolts and
threads in the actuator base.
• MT50/140 should apply M20 60mm length whenever possible.
