Coatings for precision components

Mechanical engineering components frequently operate under extreme conditions: high loads, high sliding speeds and/or poor lubricating conditions can lead to wear or excessive friction and, thereby, to reduced service lifetime and/or efficiency. Carbon based PVD and DLC coatings are today considered the most effective surface solutions for gears, roller bearings, pumps, compressors, linear guides, ball screw drives, collet chucks, worm gears, and weaving and spinning machines.
