There are various solutions for joining different kinds of materials into one part. Whether we are talking about mechanical or adhesive bonding, both types of joints have their advantages and disadvantages. In certain cases, preference is given to the adhesive bonding. It is primarily from the inability of constructing a mechanical connection, or the possibility of cracking due to the technical nature of the mechanical joints. Such case occurred when a ceramic cylinder was needed to be connected to the metal spindle. This paper presents determination of the strength of the glued joint for three different adhesives, and for the specific type of joint. Tested adhesives were of chemical type; modified acrylic ester, and two component epoxy adhesive. Tests were performed by measuring the largest tensile load that the joint can withstand without loosening or fracture.
