GRIPCOAT® – Friction increase for maximum torque transmission

GRIPCOAT® is an innovative coating technology that brings about a targeted friction increase to effectively increase torque. This is achieved using a special nickel-diamond coating that significantly improves torque transmission without additional components or complicated adaptations to the design.

The advantages of GRIPCOAT®

Friction increase with GRIPCOAT®?

 

GRIPCOAT® is a friction increase coating that has been specially developed for improving torque transmission. By increasing the coefficient of friction to up to µ=0.7, it enables higher load capacity and prevents impermissible micro-movements between the contact surfaces.

 

The coating is based on an innovative nickel-diamond technology that is applied directly to the component. This eliminates the need for additional components or complicated adjustments. GRIPCOAT® ensures efficient power transmission in various applications, both for static and dynamic loads.

 

Thanks to its excellent properties, the coating remains effective even after the component has been reassembled multiple times. As a result it offers a long-lasting, cost effective solution for demanding applications.

 

Challenges in torque transmission

 

There are many applications where insufficient friction is a problem because it limits torque transmission and makes connections inefficient. Without an adequate coefficient of friction, the following challenges occur:

  • Slipping and loss of performance – inadequate friction prevents optimum power transmission between components.
  • Frictional wear or frictional corrosion (fretting) – micromovements at the contact surface lead to wear and material damage.
  • Complicated assembly – additional components and complicated adjustments are needed to achieve the required adhesion.
  • Larger components required – low coefficients of friction require larger components to transmit torque reliably.
  • Higher costs and more materials – conventional solutions require more materials and result in increased production costs.

 

These problems can be solved by using GRIPCOAT® for friction increase.

Your advantages with friction increase by GRIPCOAT®

Increased friction for maximum torque transmission

The special nickel-diamond coating increases the coefficient of friction up to µ=0.7. This enables an efficient increase in torque and improves the transmission of power between components.

 

Higher load capacity and no frictional wear or frictional corrosion (fretting)

GRIPCOAT® prevents micromovements between contact surfaces and minimizes the risk of Frictional wear or frictional corrosion. This ensures a longer service life and reliable performance under heavy loads.

Simplified assembly and multiple reassembly

Thanks to the direct coating, there is no need for additional components or complicated adaptations. The coating allows quick, precise assembly and allows multiple reassembly without loss of performance.

Sustainability ensured by chemical-free coating

The coating process is free of solvents and chemicals, which reduces environmental impact. In addition, GRIPCOAT® enables lighter component designs, which reduces weight and carbon emissions.

Optimum performance for static and dynamic applications

Regardless of whether it is handling static or dynamic loads, GRIPCOAT® ensures reliable torque transmission without loss of power. Even if the contact surfaces are oily or dusty.

FAQ: Frequently asked questions about friction increase with GRIPCOAT®

 

Yes, the coating is suitable for both static and dynamic applications. It ensures reliable torque transmission under heavy loads.

The coating involves a chemical-free and sustainable process because no additional components are required and lightweight construction means lower carbon emissions.

GRIPCOAT® is compatible with steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals and sintered components. These materials have an advantage with friction increase and improved torque transmission.​

Yes, the coating can be applied selectively to load-bearing areas. This enables effective use of the friction increase properties without coating the entire surface of the component.

No, the coating retains its function even on oily or dusty surfaces. Thanks to the microlocking effect of the coating, friction is reliably maintained even in challenging conditions.

As a result of the friction increase, smaller components can be used because the higher torque transmission makes complex and larger constructions superfluous. This results in lighter, more efficient, and space-saving designs.​
