Suited for wet or submersible applications, GRAPHALLOY® Cam Followers are corrosion resistant and do not contain oil or grease to harden, burn up, contaminate, or wash away. Units handle speeds up to 100 rpm and operate in temperatures up to 750°F. Made of self-lubricating graphite/metal alloy, cam followers do not deform under load and provide constant low coefficient of friction. Applications include industrial ovens, steel mill equipment, conveyors, kilns,and substrate dryers.
Yonkers, NY - Graphite Metallizing Corporation announces the availability of GRAPHALLOY® stainless steel cam followers for wet or submersible applications. These stainless steel cam followers are corrosion resistant and survive wash down and steam, eliminating the problems experienced with traditional cam followers.
GRAPHALLOY® cam followers do not contain oil or grease to harden, burn up, contaminate or wash away. They are designed to handle moderate loads and speeds of up to 100 RPM and provide reliable performance in temperatures up to 750°F (400°C). Typical applications include bakery and industrial ovens, steel mill equipment, glass plants, conveyors, kilns, stokers and substrate dryers. GRAPHALLOY® cam followers also perform well in low temperature environments of -100° F (-75°C).
GRAPHALLOY®, a graphite/metal alloy, is a uniform, solid, self-lubricating material. GRAPHALLOY® cam followers will not deform under load, maintain dimensional stability and provide a constant low coefficient of friction for improved wear. GRAPHALLOY® cam followers are especially suitable in applications where lubrication or maintenance tasks are cumbersome, difficult or impossible to perform.
Graphite Metallizing's GRAPHALLOY® cam followers are made to industry-standard dimensions. We can also supply metric sizes and special or custom designs. For more information about GRAPHALLOY® products, visit www.graphalloy.com or call 914-968-8400 or e-mail us at sales@graphalloy.com
