Carbon Vanes
Carbon Vanes are components commonly used in rotary vane compressors, vacuum pumps, and other machinery that requires efficient, durable, and low-friction parts to manage the movement of air or fluids. 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.
One of the most important requirements for vane materials is high mechanical strength. Carbon vanes meet this requirement. Their strength is indicated by the pressure regularly handled, which ranges from 3.2 kgf/cm2 down to high vacuum conditions, with peripheral speeds up to 12.7 m/sec.
At Dmaic Carbon, vanes are made from carbon or carbon-based composites, these vanes are designed according to various application to slide in and out of slots to maintain a seal as the rotor turns, providing consistent performance under various operating conditions.
