Assembling cylindrical parts with adhesives requires the most sophisticated bonding technology. Loctite Corporation, the pioneer of anaerobic adhesives, has applied this technology to create retaining and securing compounds that increase the shear strength of cylindrical, metal assemblies. These compounds fill the "inner space" between components - and cure to form a strong, precision assembly.

Worn parts can often be reliably repaired with anaerobic adhesives. Loose bearings can be refitted in housings with anaerobic adhesives often allowing housings or worn shafts to be salvaged.
