Carbon Vanes

Assam Carbon vanes are made in the range of carbon materials (carbon graphite, metal-impregnated carbon graphite and resin-impregnated graphite) to meet many different application requirements. All Assam 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.
Self-Lubricating
Carbon vanes are self-lubricating and therefore, ideal for pumps, handling liquids such as petrol which has poor lubricating properties. They can also operate in unlubricated compressors to deliver air or gas uncontaminated by lubricating oil or grease, in which case Carbon gives a fine polish to the cylinder wall which reduces the wear rate of the vane after bedding almost negligible proportions
