Self-lubricating materials handle high heat

A Metallized Carbon Corporation product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team May 15, 2008

Carbon/graphite copper impregnated materials operate without lubrication in dry and dust-prone environments.

New from Metallised Carbon Corporation, Metcar grades M-199 and M-201 are novel carbon/graphite copper impregnated materials designed to operate without lubrication in dry and dust prone environments.

The proprietary copper impregnation greatly increases the load carrying capacity for bearings and thrust washers manufactured from these self-lubricating materials.

For operating temperatures between 200 and 400C, these Metcar grades are ideal for bearings and thrust washers in a variety of applications such as kiln cars, continuous dryers, dust conveyors, ventilating dampers, furnaces, high-temperature conveyors and other applications where conventional lubricants would break down and fail.

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

Boasting high electrical conductivity, high load capacity and wear resistance, these materials are completely homogenous and provide continuous lubrication for their service life, making them an excellent candidate for bearings and bearing assemblies for applications in extreme temperature conditions.
