When using media-lubricated carbon slide bearings, friction and wear considerably decrease in the presence of small quantities of liquid or vapors. Depending on the load, medium and geometry, hydrodynamic lubrication then begins in the liquids starting at a certain sliding speed.
In this state, no frictional wear occurs at all. You benefit from these advantages: Small friction coefficient Dry-running capability Outstanding resistance to chemicals Materials compliant with FDA, WRAS, API685 etc.
Broad spectrum of individually matchable materials made of carbon-graphite and electro-graphite with synthetic resin, antimony or copper impregnation; synthetic resin-bonded graphite and ceramic fiber composites.
The Global carbon slide bearings market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
NEW PRODUCT LAUNCH
Morgan Advanced Materials group have been developing carbon slide bearings for over 30 years. The term Carbon Bearing can cover “carbon-graphite”, “metal-graphite” and “electro graphite”. Carbon is a self-lubricating material with a low coefficient of friction at high and low temperatures.
This quality lends itself to a wide range of uses as a bearing or bushing material in cases where a conventional lubricant is not available and where other lubricants perform poorly.
Other advantageous properties include: Low wear rate High thermal conductivity High resistance to thermal shock High-temperature capability (up to 500°C grade dependant) High strength to weight ratio Electrically conductive Chemically inert.
Kromaltd range of bearings are available in carbon slide bearings as well as silicon carbide. These materials are traditionally used as a bearing material. Carbon is self lubricating and has low coefficient of friction at high and low temperatures.
Its use as a bearing material is extensive when conventional lubricants are not possible and also where the performance of other lubrication is poor. There are other properties which give it unique and distinctive advantages for bearings.
These include: Low wear rate Mechanically strong in compression High strength-weight ratio Electrically conductive Relatively low density (2 gm per square meter) High thermal conductivity Is non oxidizing to 500oC (depending on grade) High resistance to thermal shock Chemically inert Easily machined to close tolerances Dimensionally stable .
