Carbon and graphite components for a range of industries
Our components are supplied to both the automotive and aerospace industries, plus many mechanical engineering companies.
Take a look at some of the common graphite components we provide:
Axial sliding seal rings
Available in carbon, electrographite and reaction bonded silicon carbide, these rings can be used in a number of different applications. These include:
- chemical industry with chemically aggressive media
- petrochemical industry, refinery and oil-rigs
- pharmaceutical industry ( hygienically suitable impregnation)
- food industry (hygienically suitable impregnation)
- sewage tanks
- circulation pumps for cooling in atomic power plants
- cooling water pumps in cars
They’re ideal for use in applications without lubricants, and provide permanency of form and thermal stability up to extreme temperatures.
Axial and radial sliding bearings
Our axial and radial sliding bearings make for good usage in liquids which lack any marked lubricating effect, such as water, water solutions and petrol. They’re also great for sealing applications which are exposed to thermal fluctuations or shocks.
Applications include:
- chemical industry with chemically aggressive media
- petrochemical industry, refinery and oilrigs
- pharmaceutical industry ( hygienically suitable impregnation)
- food industry ( hygienically suitable impregnation)
- sewage tanks
- circulation pumps for cooling in atomic power plants
- high-pressure gear-pumps
Segmental sealing rings & piston rings
These have good properties for dry running applications with high operating temperatures, and are ideal for applications in which metal sealing materials cannot be used.
Applications include:
- sealing of ventilator shafts
- sealing of ships´ equipment – compressors and pumps
- sealing of water turbines – Francis and Kaplan
- sealing of oil-free compressors
Sealing rings, guide bearings and steam joint rings
Advantageous for use in concave or convex sealing, these have properties which make them suitable during swinging, vibration and oscillation. They can also withstand very high temperatures and pressures.
Applications include:
- paper industry – sealing of steam heads
- rubber industry – sealing of steam heads
- textile industry
- plastic production
Metal sleeved rings and bearings
Metal sleeved materials make it possible to maintain a very small sealing clearance with the shaft, which remains constant irrespective of temperature.
Applications include:
- chemical industry with chemically aggressive media
- petrochemical industry, refinery and oilrigs
- pharmaceutical industry ( hygienically suitable impregnation )
- food industry ( hygienically suitable impregnation )
- sewage tanks
- circulation pumps for cooling in atomic power plants
- high-pressure gear-pumps
Vanes and guide strips
Our vanes and guide strips are excellent in dry running applications in compressors and vacuum pumps, as well as wet running vane-type pumps if the liquids being pumped have poor lubricating properties.
Applications include:
- printing machinery
- packing machinery
- textile machinery
- pumps for medical purposes
- centrifugal pumps
- mobile compressores
- pumps delivering fresh air
- drink vending machines ( wet running )
- kerbside pumps ( wet running )
- machinery for transport of loose materials e.g. cement
