‘Self-Lubricating’

A Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Systems prevent oil loss from JLM Systems, which we summarised at the time by saying "JLM has released the Oilmiser vapor guard and the Oilmiser reservoir aspirator to prevent the loss of oil from machinery.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Metallized Carbon has Metcar 1010 mechanical grade from Metallized Carbon Corporation: "Metallized Carbon Corporation provides customers with its Metcar 1010 Babbitt mechanical grade. ".
 
In October 2008, we covered the news from Metallized Carbon Corporation - take a look at Metcar 1515 available from Metallized Carbon which says: "Metallized Carbon is offering the Metcar 1515 Copper mechanical grade. ".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Tsubakimoto UK, Tsubaki offers lube-free chain technology, as well as SKF provides efficient technology for agriculture from SKF UK, and Graphalloy components offer low friction levels from Graphite Metallizing Corp.
