Graphite Metallizing has released a family of tin-based babbitt GRAPHALLOY materials for high temperature bearing applications up to 350˚F (175˚C).
They are available in NSF certified grades for drinking water and are FDA accepted, and will perform reliably as self-lubricating bearings in submerged and dry applications, the company says.
This graphite/metal alloy is considered to environmentally safe to machine and use, and can effectively eliminate the need for grease or oil.
In low temperature applications (-400˚ F/-205˚C), these bearings supposedly solve lubrication problems caused by the viscosity of grease and oil that often prevents proper operation of equipment.
Used in the manufacture of bushings, bearings and other components for machinery and process equipment, GRAPHALLOY materials are self-lubricating, impervious to temperature extremes (from -400° F to +1000° F/-240° C to 535° C) and thrive in harsh environments where other bearings fail.
