I Just spoke to Cody at Moglice and he is going to send me some info on using Moglice on applications like this. He said he does work for Komatsu and Caterpillar factories. As soon as I get it, I will cut and Paste it here.
Hello Richard,
It was a pleasure talking to you today about applications in plain slide bearings in earth moving equipment. We have done many applications when Babbitt is called out for a bearing liner and we replace with Moglice. Below is a little application process.
Materials needed:
QTY.
(1) 100g Kit of Moglice FL/P
(1) 100g injector
(1) 100ml of Liquid Separator
(1) 100ml of Cleaner/Degreaser
Material Calculation:
OD volume - ID volume = Bearing in^3 x 33 g/in^3 = Total grams to fill
(note: Moglice FL/P = 33 g/in^3)
It is also recommended to have .063" Radial bearing thickness.
Notes to use materials:
Preparation:
Roughen adhesion areas down to a roughness of .3-.5 mm (.011"-.019") and then clean chemically with our Cleaner/Degreaser. Make sure that the working temperature is in the acceptable range of 20 degree C +/- 10 degree C (68 degree F +/- 10 degree F). The opposing side you will be molding will also need to be cleaned with the Cleaner Degreaser.
Alignment:
Holding the bushing centered on the shaft is easily done by using centering rings at both ends of the bushing. The centering rings can be made to pick up an accurate O.D. on the bushing and an accurate O.D. on the shaft. This will hold the bushing concentric to the shaft in the molding process.
Applying Separator:
Using a spray bottle apply the liquid separator to the shaft. This process should be done 4 to 5 times allowing the separator to dry for 10 minutes in between coats. Depending on the clearance needed for oil more or less coats of release agent may be needed.
Mixing:
When mixing Part A container can be used as the mixing vessel. Pour part B into Part A container, it is important to wait for 5 slow drips from the container. With a mechanical mixer, mix the two parts together, but do not exceed 100 r.p.m. To degas Moglice after mixing, pour Moglice FL/P in a long thin stream in a cartridge at an angle.
Application:
After venting injection cartridge, it can be placed in a standard caulking gun. The material can be injected into the bushing filling the void that was created by the centering bushings. Allow at least 18 hours at ambient temperature for Moglice to cure. By using a little heat(not to exceed 100 degree F) and a little force in one direction the bushing will slide off.
I attached a picture of a large bushing that was made on-site. If they have any questions regarding there specific application just give them my contact information. It was nice catching up with you again, I will tell Drew you said hi.
Kind Regards,
