Differential Shafts

Customer Challenge:

• Increasing loads and torques, particularly at low velocities in electric vehicles
• Utilization of low viscosity oil, even lower than engine oils
• Rapid load and torque increase during driving, leading to a high probability of adhesive wear and surface fatigue.

Oerlikon Solution:

• Introducing BALINIT® DLC STAR or BALITHERM® IONIT OX with outstanding wear resistance
• Enabling the shift of limits for the differential pinion shaft
• Reducing surface fatigue at high torques/loads
