For a wide range of technical services, you can rely on Qgraphites’ years of experience and expertise. Our technical specialists are happy to help you specify and apply carbon graphite products. Qgraphites’ technical services are divided into four different categories:
Our technical engineering services
Do you need engineering to solve material problems for bushings for example, seals or other applications? Qgraphites is ready for you. Together with you we discuss, among other things, the choice of materials or upgrades. In addition, we know better than anyone how to solve excessive wear problems. Our technical specialists also discover immediately whether one of our existing products offers you a solution. We always help you find a solution. If the solution is outside our area of expertise, don’t worry. We are happy to refer you to a party that does have this know-how. This way, the downtime within your company is always kept to a minimum.
Reverse engineering samples and drawings
Qgraphites receives many orders that are produced using samples. Often these samples are severely worn or broken into several pieces. Our specialists will then determine a comparable material quality. They make a production drawing of the graphite part, but it doesn’t stop there. They also recalculate the clearances and fitting. This will get your graphite part back to normal.
Should the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) no longer be able to supply parts – for example because the equipment is no longer supported – you also rely on our technical services. Qgraphites will then work closely with you to obtain the replacement part that is required.
Material selection recommendations
Although our product documentation contains a lot of information to make the right choice of material, we recommend that you check with our technical specialists. This way you can be sure that you will receive the correct material types and product numbers for your application. What we regularly encounter is that a material change helps to solve an application problem. This can be a graphite part, but also (part of) the equipment. Our recommendations regarding load options and speed limits are included in the Qgraphites service. As a result, your carbon graphite product will always function properly.
Material identification
The fourth category of our technical services is material identification. Qgraphites can work with a sample supplied by you to determine a comparable quality of carbon graphite. This includes resin-impregnated graphite grades and metal-impregnated graphite grades. In addition, our technical specialists can also flawlessly identify metal qualities and the same applies to most technical plastics.
