GRAPHALLOY®
Enhanced Graphite Bushings and Bearings
Why is the GRAPHALLOY material the best choice for a graphite bushing or graphite bearing?
Plain graphite bearings and graphite bushings do not have the same properties as GRAPHALLOY bearings and bushings.
GRAPHALLOY bearings are made of a graphite metal alloy bushing material, combining the self-lubrication of graphite with the strength of metal. This graphite metal alloy material is ideally suited for submerged and high temperature bearings and bushings - applications where oil, grease, plain carbon bearings, and plastic bearings fail.
GRAPHALLOY Bearings Advantages:
Wide temperature range
Self-lubricating
Dimensionally stable
Can run submerged and dry
Maintenance-Free
Available in over 100 grades, GRAPHALLOY bearings may be the solution to your toughest bushing, thrust washer, cam follower, flange block, or pillow block bearing design problem. GRAPHALLOY bearings have been installed for up to 20 years without maintenance. We have many standard designs but most of our products are custom designed to the unique requirements of a specific application.
GRAPHALLOY bearings- graphite metal alloy bearings- can help you solve your toughest bearing problems.
GRAPHALLOY bearings are available in standard sizes as well as custom designs. We have stainless steel housing options for applications with washdowns. Contact us and our engineers will work with you to find the right solution for your application.
The GRAPHALLOY material combines the self-lubricating quality of graphite with the strength and wear resistance qualities of metal. The metal impregnation process also reduces oxidation at very high temperatures and prevents swelling.
