Metcar Bearings
Metcar Bearings
SKU Model: -
Carbon graphite bearings are ideal for high- and low-temperature applications and for operation in low-viscosity or aggressive fluids, where oils, metallic bearings, and plastic materials fail. Their self-lubricating graphite structure enables reliable dry or submerged operation with low friction, minimal wear, and excellent chemical resistance. Metcar supports each application with engineering expertise in material selection, sizing, tolerances, fits, and compatibility to ensure optimal performance and service life.
