PROVIDING LIFETIME COST SAVINGS AND SIGNIFICANT
OPERATING ADVANTAGES OVER CONVENTIONAL
BEARINGS
GRAPHALLOY, a graphite/metal alloy, is a
family of materials used to manufacture
bearings, bushings and other components
for Machinery, Food Equipment, Pumps and
Process Equipment.
GRAPHALLOY materials are solid, uniform,
self lubricating, non galling and operate in
temperature extremes from -400°F (-240°C)
to 1000°F (535°C) with a low coefficient of
friction.
GRAPHALLOY bearings are long lasting.
Operating where oil and grease lubricated
bearings seize and where plastics fail, these
materials provide lifetime cost savings
and significant operating advantages over
conventional bearing materials. In some
applications, these bearings have operated
for up to 20 years without maintenance.
