When it comes to the performance of machinery in heavy-duty, harsh environments, durability and reliability is essential. Equipment failure can result in expensive repairs, lost productivity, and significant downtime. As a leader in the power transmission and motion control industries, U.S. Tsubaki keeps operations running efficiently by manufacturing the highest-quality products. ATRA-FLEX^® Nitrocarburized Couplings provide a solution that extends the lifespan and enhances the performance of vital components, leading to substantial cost savings and improved reliability.    

ATRA-FLEX^® Nitrocarburized Couplings undergo a thermo-chemical treatment that enhances the surface properties of metal parts. Conducted at temperatures between 900°F and 1075°F, this process involves enriching the metal surface with nitrogen and carbon. This results in the formation of a two-part nitride layer consisting of a compound layer and a diffusion layer. The process creates a case-hardened exterior layer that creates a durable and corrosion-resistant surface.
