Polycrystalline diamonds (PCD)
combine the abrasive resistance, thermal conductivity, and hardness of natural diamonds
with the toughness of tungsten carbide. PCD is an excellent wear-resistant material for
bearings, stops, guides and wear pads. Carter PCD's are:
- Highly polished to enhance their wear-resistant qualities
- Long lasting ...hundreds of times the life of carbide bearings
- Smooth running, with perfect shaft alignment
- Able to eliminate commutator turning problems due to half- and thrust-bearing wear
- Ideal for reducing downtime replacing worn bearings
- Made to eliminate or reduce shaft lubrication
