Haydonkerk Motion Solutions(TM) Offers Kerkote® TFE And Black Ice(TM) TFE Lead Screw Coatings
Kerkote® and Black Ice(TM) TFE Coatings provide maximum performance
HaydonKerk Motion Solutions(TM), a premier manufacturer of linear motion products, offers superior performance lead screw assemblies with its Kerkote® and Black Ice(TM) coatings. Designed exclusively for Kerk® components and assemblies and Haydon(TM) actuator products, these coatings provide permanent lubrication eliminating the need for external lubrication. There are many applications where traditional greases are not appropriate, such as areas where periodic maintenance is difficult or impossible, applications where contamination can't be tolerated, and clean room environments.
Kerkote and Black Ice TFE reduce friction, improve efficiencies, and extend the life of components. Even lubricant filled polymer nuts benefit greatly from the additional lubrication. The maintenance-free Kerkote and Black Ice coatings are designed to endure for the life of the product. Without collecting dirt or debris, they have been shown to extend nut and bushing life as much as ten times when compared with uncoated screws and shafts. Repeated testing continually supports that Kerkote and Black Ice TFE coatings provide longer life for polymer nuts and bushings than any available alternative. Depending on your application requirements, one of these two coatings is sure to satisfy your design needs.
