Metallized Carbon Corporation announced the availability of bearings specially designed for dry running in high temperature applications.
The Metcar high temperature bearings are designed for use at temperatures ranging from 350 to 1000°F in oxidizing atmospheres, and from 350 to 6000°F in non-oxidizing atmospheres. At these high temperatures, oil-grease lubricated ball, roller, and sleeve bearings are problematic because the oil-grease lubricants can melt, volatilize or carbonize. Plastic and composite bearing materials can soften, deform or melt at such high temperatures.
Metcar bearings are ideal for use in continuous dryers, high temperature conveyors, kiln cars and high temperature ventilation dampers. They are also a great choice for other high temperature equipment, including continuous bakery ovens, screw conveyors, valves and paint dryers. Several Metcar Grades have received FDA approval for use in contact with foods and pharmaceuticals.
