Gear drives
Where even case-hardened steels reach the limits of their load capacity, Oerlikon Balzers Coating carbon coatings open the way to higher performance systems.

The coating reduces
•  sliding wear (caused by mixed friction)
•  scuffing (where the lubricant film ruptures or with excessive load at low peripheral speed)
•  pitting (where compressive strength of the gear tooth surface is too low)
Even under the most demanding conditions (e.g. in motor sport), BALINIT®-coated gear drive components not only operate more reliably, they also improve performance.

If the torque of an engine exceeds the capacity of the gearbox, this problem can be solved by coating crucial components with BALINIT® without the necessity of a new design.
