GRAPHALLOY®, a graphite/metal alloy, is a unique self-lubricating bearing material that offers superior performance in hundreds of mechanical and electrical applications.
GRAPHALLOY standard and custom designed products provide lifetime cost savings and significant operating advantages over conventional bushings and bearings.
Works at
high temperatures where oil-based lubricants burn off or oxidize and
plastics fail. Operating temperatures to 1,500º F / 800º C (in non-oxidizing atmospheres). Will not gum or seize.
GRAPHALLOY Bushings resist attack by most corrosive liquids and gases such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, chlorine water, and caustics. Graphalloy bushings also perform well in submerged or washdown applications. A thin layer of GRAPHALLOY deposited on the shaft inhibits corrosion of the shaft.
