Glossar (EN)
We explain you the most relevant words.
| Dismounting of damming | Cutback of device made of elastomer, steel or wood to process the epoxy materials in the intended area and to prevent distribution |
| Torque | Measure for tightening the bolts in the chockfast in Nm to prevent an overload of the epoxy (max 4.5 N / mm²) |
| Alignment | Adjustment of e.g. shafts to each other to avoid high bearing loads and vibration |
