Carbon Graphite Self-Lubricating Products

A common thread through our carbon graphite products is their inherent self-lubrication properties and dry running capability which enable their use in a variety of dynamic applications by reducing the friction as well as the wear of our product and the surface against. This also means our products are capable of running without outside lubricants (e.g., oil), which allows our products to be used in sanitary environments.

Below are the key products that are used within this application. However, this is not an exhaustive list and we are a custom manufacturer, so if you have any questions or needs outside of these products, please contact us directly.

Custom Components & Parts

Custom Carbon and Graphite Components Engineered for Your Application When standard components don’t meet design or performance requirements, custom carbon and graphite parts become necessary. Applications with unique geometry, load, temperature, environment, or duty cycle demand components built to perform reliably where off-the-shelf solutions fall short. Unique Benefits of Custom Carbon Graphite Parts Proprietary Carbon […]
