10 of the Main Reasons You Need Helix H10X™ Lead Screw Coating Now!

Helix Linear Technologies H10X™ PTFE lead screw coating ensures longer life of your lead screw. Why incorporate it into your next linear motion project? Here are 10 reasons why H10X™ will improve your application: 

1. Reduces wear and provides up to10 times the nut life. This has been consistently demonstrated in our internal wear testing and customer application testing. 

2. It adds up to 6 points of screw efficiency.

3. Coefficient of friction reduced to .08 static, .09 dynamic. The uncoated value is .15.

4. It's low friction. Our proprietary PTFE provides a low friction surface layer between the screw and nut threads, and Helix H10X™ stays on the screw for the life of the product.

5. It's durable.

• H10x is extremely durable, and is less likely to be damaged during straightening, handling, and installation. It's a hard coating, which is more forgiving when machining ends or performing other secondary operations. It's not susceptible to flaking, chipping, denting, or peeling like may other soft coatings.

6. It's compatible with greases and cutting fluids:

• Not necessary to use grease but not detrimental if grease is added
• Does not react and form paste or strip off the coating 

7. Visible appearance provides proven evidence and confidence that the coating is effective.

8. It's meant to be permanent. Our H10X™ coating is intended to stay on the threads and last the life of the product. There is no particulate transfer from the screw to the nut. 

9. Our in-house process is automated.

10. It's cost-effective. The benefits far outweigh the minimal cost to add the coating.
