Carbon, an element of pre-histroic discovery, is

widely distributed in nature. Carbon is found freely
in nature in two allotropic forms, i.e. Amorphous
and Crystalline like Graphite, Diamond and
Fullerines.
A BOON FOR VARIOUS In the Amorphous form, Carbon is available as a
powder which is the main constituent of

INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS substances like charcoal, coal, coke, lamp-black

and lignite.
The Crystalline form of Carbon which is mostly
available in the form of Graphite, is available either
naturally or can be artificially produced.
Graphite, the Crystalline form of Carbon, has
several peculiar properties which prove to be of
immense worth
s. Graphite is soft and greasy, has good
lubricating properties and conducts electricity
well. Graphite is used as a moderator in nuclear
reactors.
For their excellent conduction of electricity,
Carbon brushes are widely used for transferring
current from stationary to rotary surfaces and in
current collectors. Carbon's quality of beig soft
and greasy makes it an ideal material for
mechanical seals.
Carbon, which is chemically inert with good
chemical resistance, has high thermal
conductivity and low thermal expansion, is widely
used for tribological applications in industries.
Thus, Carbon, which has a higher resistance to
thermal shocks and stability at elevated
temperature, proves to be a great boon for various
industries for innumerable useful applications.

Carbon Bearings have been developed by Assam Carbon Products Limited over the last 30
years. The generic term “Carbon Bearings” includes all possible variations of the basic
material “Carbon”. Therefore it covers “carbon-graphite”, “metal-graphite” and “electro
graphite”. Carbon is self-lubricating and has a low coefficient of friction at high and low
temperatures. Its use as a bearing material is extensive when a conventional lubricant is
not possible and also where the performance of other lubrication is poor. There are other
properties which give it unique and distinctive advantages for bearings.

Some typical applications description and performance

Chain Grate Stoker : Formerly, grease lubricated cast iron bearings were employed. Cast
iron bearings needed replacement at approximately 18-month interval, after 9,5mm radial
wear. Shafts also badly worn and scored needed “building-up” and re-grinding.
Considerable consumption of grease and frequent maintenance. In one case after several
years, carbon bearings have worn only 0,08mm and shafts are highly polished with
negligible wear. No maintenance required and use of grease obviate. In another stoker,
carbon bearings have run for 17 years, without replacement.
Flue Gas Damper : Formerly, unlubricated cast iron bearings employed. Excessive and
rapid bearing and shaft wear, with frequent seizures with cast iron bearings. Wear of
carbon bearings negligible over long operating periods. No shaft wear and no
seizures experienced.
Ten-ton Furnace Charging Machine : Carbon bearings proven highly satisfactory. No
conven-tional type of bearings possible because of high operating temperature. Carbon
bearings have been in service for seven years to date.
Veneer Drying Oven : A total of 850 carbon bearings are fitted to this oven, each pair of
bearing supporting a 400mm long hollow steel roller. Each bearing is mounted in a self-
aligning housing. Carbon bearings have been in service for eight years to date without the
need of any maintenance. Before the employment of carbon bearings, machines were fitted
with grease lubricated ball bearings which required frequent
attention.
Rust Proofing Conveyor : Sever hundred carbon bearings are fitted to a 4,6m long double
roller suspension conveyor. Conveyor passes through various stages of bonderising cycle,
i.e., caustic solution 90°C, water at 80°C, Phosphate solution at 90°C, Chromic acid rinse
at 80°C, and, finally, drying oven at 230°C. Carbon bearings originally fitted in 1937 and
are still giving satisfactory performance with very few replacements being necessary.
Original oil-retaining sintered bronze bearings gave constant trouble – exces-sive wear,
high friction and frequent seizures due to high temperature.
Submersible Pump Motor : Carbon bearings employed as 260kW motor main bearing
operating completely immersed in circulating distilled water. Bearings, therefore, copiously
water-lubricated. Highly satisfactory results obtained with negligible bearing or shaft wear
after several years continuous service. Original bearings employed were lignum vitae
which gave trouble due to swelling. Frequent seizures and excessive wear were
experienced.
Vertical Centrifugal Pump : Carbon bearings employed as steady bearings, running
completely immersed in circulating 10% caustic solution. Negligible bearing or shaft wear
after several month continuous service. Previous pumps employed Bakelised Fabric
composition bearings, which gave trouble due to swelling.
Aircraft Fuel Pump “Swash Plate” Type : Carbon bearings employed as main rotor
bearings oper-ating completely immersed in circulating fuel, i.e., petrol, paraffin, kerosene,
etc. Highly successful application. Carbon bearings found to be the most suitable type of
bearings for these pumps.
 e Kaplan & Francis Water Turbine Steam & gas turbine Labyrinth Seals

Kaplan turbine, widely used now for high
flow and low head power generation, has
adjustable blades to suit variable load. A
gland must work effectively under high
pressure. Francis is a reaction turbine in
which the water flows radially inwards
through guide vanes into the runner and
after imparting the thrust leaves axially.
Usually used for high head, the gland must
be capable of sealing vacuum during
running and pressure when the turbine is
stationary.
Assam Carbon provides solution for steam
and hot or dry gas sealing in medium and
large diameter shaft. Special segmental
non-contact gland rings which seal by
throttling are used for pressure, as well as
vacuum sealing. The number of rings per
gland and number of segments per ring
will be decided depending upon the shaft
diameter, speed, pressure and
temperature of media. Our technical
application department is always ready to
advise on the most appropriate type of
gland or seal and selection of the
appropriate grade.
Carbon Labyrinth Seals have an advantage
over metal seals. Owing to the initial start
up, there can be short period contact due to
the difference in coefficient of thermal
expansion. Since Carbon is self-lubricating
there is no damage from this contact as a
result, the labyrinth gaps can be smaller in
Carbon as compared to metal. They are
used as main shaft seals in gas turbines.
auxiliary stream turbines. rotary
compressors and blowers.

Tenon type gland rings

This gland consists of rings composed of a
number of Carbon segments held together
by a garter spring. Each ring is connected
to its neighbour by an integral tongue fitted
into a recess. Under the force of the spring,
rings move radially inwards as wear takes
place. The tongues and recesses must be
machined with sufficient allowance to
permit this radial closing without
distortion. A stop pin is used to prevent
rotation of rings.
To seal the shaft both tangentially and
radially, the outside circumference of the
ring, where the spring seats, is machined
to a tapered form. The invert force of the
spring has two components, one
pressing the segments towards the
shaft and other pushes the segment
faces towards the face of the housing.
To provide added protection, a double
tenon ring can be used in which upper
and lower rings are staggered, so that
there is no direct passage for the water.
These types of glands are
recommended for shaft diameter up to
500 mm and water pressure up to 2
bars.

In these types, the tenons are replaced by

For Turbine - Water Steam & gas
wedges. This design eliminates tongues
and recesses and uses wedging action to
seal in both directions. The garter springs
seated in a groove around the outside
circumference of the rings hold the
assembly of segments and wedges
together. The stop pin located at the outer
sealing face and slot in segments stops the
gland from rotating with the shaft.

These designs are more suitable for higher

pressures (upto 3.5 bars)

Type of lubrication

Full fluid film or wet lubrication Boundary lubrication Dry

The condition is found in a pump with
the seal fully immersed in the liquid
being sealed and arranged so that there
is a constant supply of cool liquid
circulating around its rubbing faces and
with a seal combination designed to give
full fluid film lubrication at the interface.
This is a condition in which the only cooling
of the seal is achieved by splash from the
liquid being sealed or in which the seal is
fully immersed but the circulation of the
liquid around it is restricted or the interface

 Carbon Vanes
For rotary gas compressors, vacuum & liquid pumps

e Introduction e Self-lubricatin e Fine tolerance & surface finish

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.
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.
Even at 400° C thermal expansion in
Carbon is minimal (they are also non-
hygroscopic and do not swell after
immersion in hot or cold water) the vane
clearance in its rotor slot can therefore be
fine. A tolerance of ±0.02 mm can be
maintained in bulk production.

Chemically inert & non-toxic High mechanical strength Grades

Carbon vanes are chemically inert and One of the most important requirements The most suitable grades for vanes

Specialty graphites are materials whose
matrix consists of carbon graphite
components. They feature good dry-
running properties when used in
Specialty Graphite
tribological systems. Their graphite lattice
structure comprises carbon atoms
arranged in planar hexagonal rings with
an interlayer distance of 0.335 nm. Owing
to the weakness of the van der Waals
attractive forces, these planes can be quite
easily displaced relative to one another.
The physical parameters of carbon
materials are governed by the production
processes illustrated on page 4. The
shaping process depends mainly on the
output number to be manufactured: Large
batches are pressed to size or injection-
molded (depending on the tool

0.
dimensions), whereas small batches are
machined from larger semifinished
products.
