Polymer and running layer coatings optimize the friction and wear characteristics of machine components. When applied to surfaces, a dry, firm bonded lubricating film is created, which significantly enhances the functionality and working life of numerous applications.
Synthec®, a high performance polymer coating, allows fewer components to be used, thereby reducing system weight and increasing available assembly space. Synthec® also minimizes aggregate tolerance, stick-slip effect, friction and susceptibility to seizure (start-stop). Further benefits include corrosion protection, lifetime lubrication, energy savings, cost advantages and reduced fretting.
Synthec® meets all statutory requirements regarding automotive scrappage and is Cr(VI)-free, Pb-free and Cd-free.
Spacecoat® is a specially additivized polymer layer that allows quick, inexpensive and precise assembly of gearwheels. The coating allows backlash adjustment within very narrow tolerances, which significantly improves engine acoustics. This customized coating system can also be used in the backlash design process.
The main applications for Spacecoat® are adjustment of circumferential backlash of gearwheel drives and radial and axial play in compressors.
