Dicronite® Dry Lubricant Coating for Mechanical Equipment
Help moving components perform consistently.
Mechanical equipment depends on reliable movement between contacting surfaces. Friction, galling, and wear can affect assembly, operating torque, and maintenance requirements.
Dicronite® Southwest provides tungsten disulfide (WS₂) dry lubricant coating services for precision parts and mechanical assemblies. Share your component requirements with our team to evaluate a coating approach for your application.
Mechanical equipment
Address Friction at the Component Level
Start with the surfaces creating the challenge. Whether you are investigating sticking, difficult assembly, or wear during operation, the right application review considers both the coated part and its mating component.
Tell us what happens during use, how the assembly is lubricated, and what you want to improve.
Explore Dicronite® Technical DataMechanical Component Applications to Discuss
Bearings, Bushings & Sliding Surfaces
Evaluate dry lubrication for interfaces that depend on controlled sliding or rotating movement.
Gears & Drive Mechanisms
Discuss contacting surfaces, operating loads, and existing lubrication requirements in power transmission assemblies.
Fasteners & Threaded Components
Review applications where galling or assembly torque creates installation and maintenance challenges.
Valves & Actuation Mechanisms
Explore coating suitability for moving interfaces where friction influences actuation force or consistency.
Precision Assemblies
Identify selective coating areas, dimensional requirements, and mating surfaces in closely fitted components.
Operating conditions
Evaluate Dicronite® for Your Operating Conditions
Coating selection depends on how the equipment operates. Provide:
- Component and mating-surface materials
- Surface finish and dimensional requirements
- Operating loads, speeds, and temperatures
- Existing oils, greases, or other lubricants
- Exposure to chemicals, moisture, or debris
- Observed wear, sticking, or galling
Our team can review these details alongside your drawings and processing requirements.
Custom Masking for Selected Surfaces
Some components require treatment only on specific areas. Clearly mark coating surfaces and areas that must remain uncoated.
Ask about custom masking and in-house tooling design to support your processing requirements.
