Magnetos

Post by astaib »

Hi,

Just a short question:
How would you glue this?
What glue? Is epoxy 2 components ok?

When we removed the magnetos for 500h inspection, we noticed this

Thanks.

I would use epoxy, but not the type (JB Weld) that has metal in it. That is a Hall-effect sensor, and epoxy with ferrous metal in it could affect its function. I don't know this for sure, just relying on my decades-old college physics...

For dissimilar materials where vibration resistance (not raw strength) is the primary goal I would probably use RTV.
