DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) Coatings in Valve Lifters

Carbon-based DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coatings are the best solution wherever wear resistance and good sliding properties are required, such as in timing systems.

The acronym DLC stands for “Diamond-Like Carbon”, which suggests a carbon coating similar to diamond.

These coatings combine extreme properties:

  • Low coefficient of friction (good sliding properties)
  • High hardness
  • Corrosion resistance
  • Good wear protection
