Nylon coatings are applied to drive splines

Nylon coatings are applied to drive splines in transmissions, particularly in automotive and industrial applications. These coatings, often proprietary IE: Glidecoat. provide specific functional benefits that enhance the performance and longevity of splined components like drive shafts and yokes.

Nylon coatings create a smooth, low-friction surface, allowing splines to slide easily along mating components during torque transfer or axial movement. This reduces wear and prevents sticking.
