High temperature fibre optic strain adhesive anyone?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the challenges of using a high-temperature epoxy-based strain adhesive on polyimide-coated single-mode fiber, particularly its poor performance at temperatures above 160°C. The user seeks advice on alternatives or solutions to improve creep resistance at high temperatures. Suggestions include consulting custom adhesive suppliers like Masterbond and Tra-Con for specialized products. The user is open to providing additional parameters if needed to facilitate the search for a suitable adhesive. Finding a purpose-specific adhesive is crucial for addressing the high-temperature performance issue.

So I am currently using a high temperature epoxy based strain adhesive on a polyimide coated single mode fibre. This however gives rubbish results in terms of creep at anything above 160 deg C. Does anyone have any experience with this type of problem at all?

I know that there are metallisation techniques and cements that are available but I am having s hard time tracking down any thing purpose specific.

Any directions or anything help ( also if some more parameters are required I can easily put them up.

I would talk to a custom adhesive suppliers like Masterbond and Tra-Con. If anyone can help you find a solution they can.

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
