What is Galling or Seizing? Fabory's Solution with Lubrinox

Galling or seizing is a common phenomenon in fastening applications that involves the adhesion and transfer of material between two metal surfaces in relative motion.

This can occur during the fastening process or even during disassembly, leading to damaged or unusable components. To address this issue, Fabory has introduced Lubrinox, an innovative solution that eliminates the need for lubrication and prevents galling and seizing.

Lubrinox: The Fastening Solution with High-End Lubricating Coating

Lubrinox is a unique fastening solution that features a high-end lubricating coating. It is designed to fasten stainless steel bolts and nuts faster than ever, with or without an extra locking agent. This saves time, money, energy, and materials, while ensuring the quality of the connection. Lubrinox is the only fastener range that comes with a built-in lubricating coating, providing excellent protection against galling and seizing.

Benefits of Using Lubrinox

  1. Prevents Cold Welding - The superior coating on Lubrinox prevents galling and seizing, eliminating awkward and dangerous situations caused by bolts and nuts that no longer loosen or break. The risk of cold welding is also reduced, leading to longer-lasting and safer connections.
  2. Clean and Dry - Lubrinox is clean and dry, thanks to its advanced coating technology. The lubricating coating keeps your hands and tools hygienic, and it does not stain or attract dirt. This makes it easier to work with and maintain, leading to a more efficient and effective assembly process.
  3. Saves Time and Money - Using Lubrinox helps to save considerable assembly time, as loose lubricants are no longer necessary. Disassembly is just as smooth, leading to a faster and more reliable production process. The need for lubricants is also eliminated, leading to significant cost savings in the long run.
  4. Locking Agent Applicable - Lubrinox works perfectly in combination with a threadlocker, making it the only stainless steel fastener range with a lubrication coating that can be used with or without locking. This provides greater flexibility and versatility in a range of fastening applications, making it an ideal solution for various industries.
  5. FDA Approved - Lubrinox is FDA approved (FDA 21 CFR 75.300 & EC 1935/2004), making it a perfect choice for machine manufacturers in the food industry. It is safe to use in food processing equipment, ensuring high levels of safety, quality, and compliance.
  6. Delivery from Stock - Lubrinox fasteners are readily available from stock, making it easy to order and receive them quickly. This ensures that your production processes never stagnate and that you always have the necessary fasteners on hand when you need them.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Lubrinox is a game-changing solution for galling and seizing in fastening applications. Its high-end lubricating coating eliminates the need for lubrication, saving time, money, energy, and materials. It also provides excellent protection against cold welding, ensuring longer-lasting and safer connections. Lubrinox is clean, dry, and easy to work with, and it is compatible with threadlockers, making it a versatile solution for various industries. It is also FDA approved and readily available from stock, making it a perfect choice for machine manufacturers in the food industry.
