Submerged Bearings

Many tough applications run completely underwater, partially submerged, or with washdowns. Often in these applications, caustics are also an issue. Therefore, it is important to have a bearing material that is dimensionally stable, can handle caustics, and can provide lubrication in various environments. Graphite-metal alloy bearings can be a solution here. Learn more about submerged bearings here.

Nickel-Impregnated Graphite Bushings

Nickel-impregnated graphite bushings can handle temperatures of up to 750°F/400°C in oxidizing environments and 1700°F/725°C in non-oxidizing/submerged environments, as well as handle low lubricity service and run-dry scenarios. This makes them a good match for pumps in tough services. Learn more here.
