Industrial Products
At Real Carbon Inc., we are committed to producing the highest-quality carbon fiber products, utilizing the latest technologies and materials.
The Industrial market, a catch-all term for a diverse range of applications and customers, has enabled us to showcase our technology through the co-development of several products for various clients and applications.
Typically, weight and stiffness are key criteria; however, our customers have allowed us to expand our understanding of value planks to include no-crane installation and dramatically reduced bearing wear, leading to substantially lower operating costs in both initial and ongoing installation, as well as repair and maintenance.
Case Study: Proprietary Pump Housing Adds Value
A proprietary carbon fiber magnetic coupling containment shell adds value.
Benefits of Carbon Fiber Magnetic
Coupling Containment Shell
- Thrust & radial sleeve bearing can be integrated into the can
- Eliminates mechanical coupling wear and alignment issues.
- Lower weight, mainly when other pump components are constructed with similar composites.

Eliminates 15 – 25% power loss from the metallic barrier
- Requires lower-cost magnets
- Oftentimes allows for smaller motors
- Compact package size due to smaller motor and magnets
- No heat added to chemicals, due to eliminating eddy current loss
- Lower electricity cost
Superior chemical resistance
-
- Carbon is resistant to most chemicals
- A variety of chemical-resistant composite materials are available.
- Coatings are offered to enhance chemical resistance and abrasion resistance further.
- Sensors such as those for wear and temperature can be integrated to monitor conditions and alert in the event of excessive bearing wear (magnet rub against shell).
Composite properties
-
- Excellent chemical resistance
- High strength. Can handle very high pressure with minimal shell distortion
- Light weight
- Temperature capability: -40 to 200 °C continuously.
- Tight seal, full vacuum to 50 bar
Applications
Conditions where a barrier is desirable between the driving mechanism and the driven device.
- Magnetic drive pumps
- Magnetic drive mixers
- Canned motor pumps
- Underwater propelled devices
