LAM’LCOAT® coating
Based on technology originally developed by NASA, LAM’LCOAT® coating is a solid lubricant which is mechanically very resistant. Its extremely low friction coefficient explains its widespread use in all industry sectors.
General features
– Dry lubricant strips
– Guaranteed thickness of 1µm (± 0,5)
– Friction coefficient: 0,03 dynamic (graphite: 0,074) and 0,07 static
– Lubricating power increases with load applied:
friction coefficient of 0,044 under 14 kg/mm² increasing to 0,024 under 140 kg/mm² and remains stable up to 280 kg/mm²
– Working temperature: -273°C to +600°C continuous
– Mil Spec approved. For military uses
Main advantages
– Offers the lowest available friction coefficient (0.030 dynamic)
– It is anti-seize and possesses non-stick properties
– The low friction coefficient reduces the operational temperature and noise
– LAM’LCOAT® does not deform materials (1 micron thick). It preserves the original dimensional features of the tools and blades and any surface treatments applied
– It is environmentally friendly and is chemically inert
– Lubricates tools permanently
– It eliminates any hysteresis phenomenon for short-term relocation and enables very precise positioning.
– Reduces the need for maintenance operations
– Improves the capacity of tools and their general quality
– Reduces pressure and wear and increases the life-span of tools and accessories
– Can increase productivity (because it can increase the speed and output)
– Does not require firing
– Does not alter the finished part
– Does not move
