Base materials are carbon graphite, graphite and resin bonded graphite, also used with special impregnations (antimony or resin) depending on the application. The range of use includes wet running, mixed and dry running.
Small batch and unit production EK 20 Carbon graphite grade with good dry running properties. Suitable for wet running plain bearings. EK 24 Carbon graphite grade with very good dry running properties. Particularly suited for dry running use and for use in media with poor lubricating properties.

Bonding
The recommendations of DIN 1850, Sheet 4 apply. Cold press fitting and shrink fitting are treated separately.
For housing materials having a thermal expansion > 12 10-6/K the maximum operating temperature is correspondingly reduced. Press fitting is effected with a stepped fitting pin with a tolerance of h5. 2) We recommend that the bearing bore be finished to size after shrink fitting. 3) For higher temperatures and for housing materials having a thermal expansion > 12 10-6/K the special tolerances and/or a locking arrangement may be employed please enquire about this.

Bearing Design
In principle design should follow the requirements of DIN 1850, Sheet 4, Carbon Bearings. In addition we recommend following the design recommendations given below: bearings for dry running should have a smooth bore when bearings are running wet, bores should have spiral grooves or axial grooves according to the application. Groove design is shown in DIN 1850, Sheet 2.
Avoid sharp steps in the bore and on the outside. Break sharp edges

Any arrangement to prevent rotation such as a check plate or plain pin, should be in an unloaded area not in the bore. Any keyway should be axial and milled out carefully to avoid breakage.
