Bearing material handles high temperatures

A Metallized Carbon Corporation product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Mar 13, 2008

Bearings manufactured from Metcar are self-lubricating, nongalling, dimensionally stable and have high compressive strength.

Metallised Carbon Corporation has released the Metcar M-343 and M-346 grades of carbon/graphite antimony impregnated materials.

They are designed to operate in difficult environments where oil and grease lubrication cannot be used due to temperature limitations.

This proprietary Antimony impregnation provides excellent wear resistance and enhanced lubrication for bearings and thrust washers operating in both submerged and dry environments.

Operating at temperatures up to 370C these materials are designed for medium to high loads and are suitable for submerged applications including bearings and seal rings for pumps handling water, fuels, hydrocarbons, mild acids, alkalis, liquefied gasses, dyes, solvents and heat transfer fluids.

Dry applications for these materials include seal rings for rotary steam joints, radial seal rings for compressors and blowers, components for high-temperature valves and piston rings for gas compressors.

Bearings manufactured from Metcar are self-lubricating, nongalling, dimensionally stable and have high compressive strength.

Boasting excellent lubricating qualities and wear resistance, these materials are completely homogenous and provide continuous lubrication for their service life, making them a suitable solution for bearings and mechanical components used in harsh operating conditions.
