Sliding Bearings for High Temperature, Aggressive Media and Poor Lubrication
 Graphalloy is a unique self lubricating and non-galling
bearing material suitable for dry running. It is capable of operation from
cryogenic to elevated temperatures up to and in excess of 400 Celsius. The
material works in acids, alkalis, hydracarbons, liquid gases and many other
aggressive industrial fluids.
In adopting Graphalloy in problematic applications, operational reliability can
be improved, with resultant reductions in downtime and maintenance costs.
Over the years FTL Seals has become more and more involved with bearing problems
associated with sealing problems. So much so that www.ftlseals.co.uk has become an initial search point for
a whole host of bearing problems.
Many pump manufacturers now turn to GRAPHALLOY®,supplied by FTL, as soon as any
hint of "dry running" is mentioned.
GRAPHALLOY® can be used on dry start ups or where the bushes are starved of
product lubrication.One particular example is the Malampaya Deep Water Gasto
Power Project in the South China Seas where the pumpline shaft is over 70M in
length .GRAPHALLOY® is used in many applications where high and low temperatures
are encountered, aggressive media are involved or poor lubrication is the norm.
