How to Reduce Lead Time In Manufacturing for Engineering Projects
Lead times are inevitable in manufacturing; however they may be difficult to accept for your project. When you’re working on a new application, waiting on carbon graphite seals or bearings can be frustrating, and the delay may even cost your company money.
How Carbon Graphite Products Help Aerospace Engineers Design Better Components
Aerospace applications often have no room for error, which can make it difficult for you to find suitable parts that meet your industry’s strict safety requirements. It’s not enough to rely on materials that can merely tolerate these extreme aerospace environments; engineers like yourself demand high-performance ...

Carbon Graphite Mechanical Seal Types
Rotating equipment often requires a dynamic mechanical seal to create a seal between a rotating shaft and a stationary body and prevent the escape of process fluid(s) including liquid and/or gas. They can also be used in mixer seals to prevent fugitive ambient particulates from entering a contained vessel being being ...
Why Bearings Fail and How to Prevent It
All bearings have a fixed life expectancy. Some are replaced because of normal wear or spalling, and others need replacing because of premature wear or failure. An unexpected failure can cause damage to equipment, downtime, costly replacement, and possibly even injury. And, even before they fail, the premature wear is ...
Carbon Graphite Conductivity & Expansion
When deciding on the materials for carbon graphite components or parts, it all starts with a thorough review of the application which includes the components’ form/function/fit and property identifying the “must haves” and the “nice to haves” and melding these with a design for manufacturability.
Electric Vehicle Control Module
A customer of ours produces electric car charging stations and was in search of a manufacturer to develop a unique brush to use in the slip ring within their charging stations. They had a basic design of the type of brush they were looking for; however, they needed specific expertise in order to determine how this ...
