Carbon vanes are self lubricating, and therefore ideal for pumps handling liquids whose
lubricating properties are poor, such as petrol. They can also operate un-lubricated in
compressors to deliver air or gas uncontaminated by lubricated oil or grease, in which
the carbon gives a fine polish to the cylinder wall which reduced the wear rate of the
vane after bedding in to negligible proportions.
Our Carbon vanes are made in a range of carbon materials (carbon graphite, metal
impregnated carbon graphite and resin bonded graphite) to meet many differing
application requirements. All of our Industrial carbon grades retain the basic
properties which make carbon unique as an engineering material, and particularly suited
for vanes which may operate in conditions beyond the limits of other materials.
Our Carbon vanes are approved on vacuum pumps Make: Dominant, Rietschle, Romaior,
Becker, Ryobi, Heidelberg, Busch, Rapida, Planeta, Zircon and Adast ORION.
