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.
