GRAPHITAR'S^® porosity permits "self-lubricated" bearing applications. This factor also permits the use of GRAPHITAR^® as an air bearing material for high precision applications. GRAPHITAR^® bearings should be designed as simply as possibly. This provides for moldable configurations. Unnecessarily close tolerances and tight corners should be avoided.

All grades of GRAPHITAR^® provide good bearing characteristics, but some grades are specifically associated with bearing applications.
