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 graphite metal bushing in a stainless steel housing

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

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. Graphalloy pillow block bearings with graphite metal bushings

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.

Graphalloy bushings are commonly found in

  • Pumps
  • High temperature applications
  • Food applications
  • Submerged applications
  • And more. See a more extensive list of applications below!
