‘Graphite’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Pittman DC motors integrate neodymium magnets from Ametek Technical and Industrial Products, which we summarised at the time by saying "Pittman 30mm brush-commutated DC motors integrate high-energy bonded neodymium magnets for maximised power density and magnetic-field profile, and a seven-slot straight armature to minimise cogging. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Graphalloy bushings are flange-block mounted from Graphite Metallizing Corp: "A series of Graphalloy self-lubricating bushings mounted in stainless-steel flange blocks is now available from Graphite Metallizing Corporation. ".

In November 2009, we covered the news from BNS Nuclear Services - take a look at BNS inspects British Energy AGR stations which says: "Increasing graphite core inspection requirements has led to a British Energy review of how to approach the inspection of its AGR reactor channels without extending reactor outages. ".

Take a look also at the news release from Kabelschlepp Metool, Kabelschlepp cable carriers reduce ESD risk, as well as Flexitallic compression packings are asbestos free from Flexitallic, and Thermiculite sealing deals with high temperatures from Flexitallic.
