SUCASLIDE®
SUCASLIDE® (DLC) – The modern friction-reducing DLC coating
Amorphous carbon coating – for use on tools, bearings, and precision components. SUper CArbon SLIDE is a metalliferous, amorphous carbon coating (a-C:Me) from EDRO eifeler. This PVD coating displays all the benefits of a modern, friction-reducing coating:
- Good adhesive strength.
- Very hard.
- Sufficient coating thickness (approx. 2 µm).
- Low friction coefficient.
- Very dense and smooth coating structure.
- Biocompatible
Advantages
- Further significant improvement of the slide characteristics with respect to traditional PVD layers (also with minimal lubrication a significant improvement results) decrease of adhesion and both friction partners are protected.
- Improvement of the run-in characteristics with tools and precision components.
- Improvement of the emergency running characteristics
- Suited for low-tempered steels (case hardened, spring and bearing steels)
