Features of Carbon Based Coating:
- Very thin and hard coating with similar structure like diamond
- Approved at Airbus and Boeing
Self-Lubricating Spherical Bearings:
- Improved performance when applied on the ball
- Obtaining hard, smooth surface on titanium balls for weight saving
Metal to Metal Spherical Bearings:
- Improved performance, both on ball and outer race
- Reduction of friction, wear and maintenance e.g. landing gear bearings
Rolling Element Bearings:
- Improved performance when applied on the raceways
- Reduction of friction, wear and maintenance in areas where lubrication is difficult or impossible
Typical applications for Carbon Based Coating includes:
- Landing gears
- Light weight bearings with titanium ball
- Dry running bearings
- Bearings at elevated temperatures
