BEARING COATINGS

Here at Steve's we offer many in-house applied custom coatings to extend engine longevity, repel unwanted internal heat, reduce parasitic friction and scuffing, improve oil pump function, extend rocker pad and lifter life, and enhance many OEM and aftermarket parts for improved function and durability.

DRY FILM LUBRICANT

This thermally cured Dry Film Lubricant is designed to provide high pressure lubrication to surfaces subject to sliding, rotating or oscillating motions such as piston skirts, bearings, and gears. Dry Film Lubricant applies in a thin layer that allows the coating to be burnished to a film less than .0002” in thickness, allowing extremely tight clearances to be utilized. It may be pre-burnished prior to installation/assembly of a part or will naturally burnish during operation.  

• Reduces friction, galling and scuffing.
  • Extends part life.
• High pressure dry lubricant.
• Allows for more effective use of thinner oils to maintain proper lubrication
• Requires no clearance changes to compensate for the coating.
  • Can be burnished with scrubbing pad, if necessary, to as thin as .0002"
• Apply to any part subject to sliding or rotating friction.
  • Excellent for use on main bearings, rod bearings, thrust washers, and piston skirts
• Naturally Conforming 
• Can be used to improve piston to bore conformity and reduce engine noise.

CERAMIC DRY FILM LUBRICANT 

 Ceramic dry film lubricant is thermally cured and designed to provide a high pressure layer of dry lubrication to surfaces subject to sliding, rotating or oscillating motions such as piston skirts, oil pump gears, solid flat cam followers, and rocker pads. The ceramic element of the coating is designed to aid in the more even transfer of heat, reducing hot spots. Its ceramic fillers increase the wear resistance and lubricity of the coating. Ceramic dry film lubricant applies in a thin layer that allows the coating to be burnished to a film less than .0003” in thickness, allowing extremely tight clearances to be utilized. It may be pre-burnished prior to installation/assembly of a part or will burnish naturally during operation. 

• Protective to above 1500°F
  • Maintains adhesion at base metal temperatures in excess of 1500°F.
• Highly resistant to thermal shock
  • Survives cyclic heating and cooling.
• Durable, semi-rigid
  • Creates a hard, semi-rigid, ceramic-like finish that survives impact, as well as expansion and contraction without separating from the base metal.
• High load capability
  • Lubricating pigments are capable of carrying loads in excess of 350,000 PSI.
• Corrosion and chemical resistant
  • Resistant to most chemicals and acids while inhibiting oxidation.
• Reduces friction, galling and scuffing.
  • Extends part life.
• Requires no clearance changes to compensate for the coating.
  • Can be burnished with scrubbing pad, if necessary.
• Apply to any part subject to sliding or rotating friction.
  • Excellent for use on bearings, piston skirts, etc.
