Solar plant saves costs with adhesive thread locking
Threaded assemblies, subjected to load and vibrations, are often locked against self-loosening by either a mechanical locking device or an adhesive thread locker; or a combination of both. The merit of this is easy to understand when the assembly is in a motor-driven machine where obvious vibration can cause an unlocked nut and bolt to gradually unwind. But what about a completely static object like a solar panel? Surely, that’s a good example of a bolt-down-and-forget application?
