Graphalloy Pump Wear Parts
In a difficult, cryogenic pump application, Graphalloy Bushings last 6+ years
YONKERS, NY, USA, June 14, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Graphite Metallizing Corporation, the manufacturer of self-lubricating GRAPHALLOY
® bushing materials, announces the success of their bushings in liquid oxygen pumps.
The manufacturer of cryogenic, 2-stage pumps needed a non-galling bearing material that could survive shaft contact, be oxygen compatible, and perform in cryogenic temperatures. They contacted Graphite Metallizing Corporation and a GRAPHALLOY nickel-grade bushing was recommended. GRAPHALLOY materials are non-galling and self-lubricating which allows for tighter clearances and improved pump efficiency.
After nearly six years, the original production units as well as several new units are running smoothly. The GRAPHALLOY bushings greatly increased the service life of these pumps. More information about the application is available on the GRAPHALLOY website.
