Shop Supplies
Anti-Seize Lubricant
Used to prevent corrosion, galling and
seizure between metal parts. Most often
applied to shafts and bores during
assembly. Unless otherwise specified, high
viscosity regular grade lithium-graphite
based anti-seize lubricant should be used.
Follow the manufacturer recommendations
for use.
Grease
Used to pack bearings, boots, and seals
prior to assembly. Ease the installation of
components during assembly or fill cavities
between moving parts through grease
fittings after assembly. Refer to the machine
Operator’s Manual for grease specifications.
Thread Locking Compound (Thread
Locker)
Used to lock threaded fasteners in position.
Available in low, medium, and high strength
for various size fasteners and applications.
Most thread locking compounds are applied
immediately prior to fastener installation.
Some thread locking compounds use a
“Wicking” feature and can be applied after
fastener installation. Most thread locking
compounds allow the fastener to be
removed with standard tools once cured.
High strength thread locking compounds
may require applying heat to the fastener
and the surrounding area to allow fastener
removal. Follow the manufacturer
recommendations for use.
