Reduce friction, heat and driveline power losses with REM® isotropic polishing - mirror-smooth gears and bearing surfaces

From our custom differential and transmission builds for championship-winning teams to our off-the-shelf solutions to get project cars up and running, Diffsonline is and always has been at the forefront of the latest innovations in driveline advances. We began offering REM® Surface Engineering's Isotropic Superfinish (ISF) Process in December of 2004, and this quickly became one of our most sought after services for custom driveline parts because of the numerous benefits.

While some believe that just throwing the proper gears, bearings and other parts together is enough, Diffsonline has never taken the quick-and-easy approach. Whether for high-performance street use or professional racing, gear components in your transmission and differential have intricate requirements for optimal high-speed performance and efficiency. While we generally recommend proper break-in procedures, we know that this isn't always possible, especially with non-street cars, so those recommendations are often overlooked. The cost of repairing damaged gearing components can be excessive as well as time consuming, however, and if there's one thing drivers and teams try to be efficient with, it's time…

The solution? REM® ISF Process creates a smooth, micro-textured surface that enhances the oil retention properties of gearing parts, reduces friction and results in increased efficiency. All of which leads to both better performance and extended component life.
