Graham Corporation’s acquisition of Xdot Bearing Technologies expands the technical depth and collaboration across its family of brands — including P3 Technologies.

Xdot’s patentedfoil bearing technology complements the precision engineering and advanced testing expertise at P3, creating new opportunities for innovation incryogenic systems, propulsion, and advanced pump applications.

This cross-company collaboration will accelerate development cycles, enhance design integration, and enable more efficient, high-speed rotating systems across cryogenic and aerospace programs.

The addition of Xdot’s know-how into the Graham family underscores our shared commitment to engineering excellence and continuous innovation across the energy transition and space technology sectors.

Barber-Nichols, a Graham Corporation company, is excited to announce the addition of a new Cryogenic Propellant Testing Facility, aimed at addressing a critical need for agile, efficient testing solutions in cryogenic fuels. This facility, located in Florida near our P3 Technologies team, is scheduled to begin operations by mid-2025, providing a state-of-the-art site for testing liquid hydrogen (LH₂), liquid oxygen (LOX), and liquid methane (LCH₄).

P3 Technologies has delivered liquid hydrogen SCAMP pumps to Lockheed Martin Space for a cryogenic fluid management development effort. Named Ersa after one of Jupiter’s moons, the pump operates in Zero-G with zero net positive suction pressure. As a result, it is required to be self-priming and capable of operating with either a gas, liquid, or two-phase flow. “It is really nice to work with partners like P3 Technologies who continue to help us develop new technologies to further our lunar and deep space exploration programs, aiding in successful program and mission execution”, says Lockheed Martin Space.

We always believe in pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. This belief led us to develop and patent the SCAMP (Self-Contained Actuating Magnetic Pump), a revolutionary pumping solution designed to tackle some of the most challenging fluid management issues across various industries.

Graham Corporation (NYSE: GHM ), a global leader in the design and manufacture of mission critical fluid, power, heat transfer and vacuum technologies for the defense, space, energy, and process industries, announced today that it has acquired P3 Technologies, LLC (“P3”), a custom turbomachinery engineering, product development and manufacturing business for the space, new energy and medical markets. Based in Jupiter, Florida, P3 has established a strong reputation in the development of state-of-the-art rotating machinery including pumps, compressors, and turbines and are specialists in high-speed rotors and cryogenic pumps. With an experienced team of highly skilled gas-turbine engineers, P3’s development process results in innovative solutions to complex technical challenges.

P3 Technologies is excited to announce its newest addition to the Self-Contained Actuating Magnetic Pump (SCAMP) product line – the Callisto.

P3 Technologies has recently received certification to ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100 revision D – the globally recognized aerospace quality management standard. The scope of the certification includes Sales, Design, and Manufacturing including machined parts for the aerospace and defense industries.

P3 Technologies was excited to welcome Audrey Mascarenhas, CEO of Questor Technology, and Dave Huber, President of Indigo Power Systems, for a visit to our facilities in Jupiter, Florida.

P3 is proud to be developing a series of turbine expanders for Questor Technology’s family of Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) Power Generators – providing clean, efficient electricity from waste heat.

P3 Technologies has conducted testing on a low mixture ratio liquid oxygen / gaseous methane gas-generator (G-G) specifically developed for its CHAMP turbopump. The G-G has demonstrated low pressure ignition as well as steady-state performance. Testing was conducted by Luke Humphreys and Daniel Stubbs at the Auburn University Combustion Physics Laboratory under the direction of Dr. David Scarborough.

Masten Space Systems has selected the Compact High-Performance Affordable Modular Pump (CHAMP) turbopump for its new Xogdor rocket. Xogdor is Masten’s sixth vertical takeoff and vertical landing rocket that will be used as a state-of-the-art test vehicle for critical Artemis and commercial space technologies.
