Combine these general purpose shafts with a linear bearing and shaft support to create a basic linear motion system.

Often used as wire insulation.

Machine these rods into nozzles for acids, pins or supports for kilns, and other parts that require extreme hardness when exposed to quick temperature changes and chemicals. This nitride-bonded silicon carbide is better at transferring heat than most ceramics and expands without cracking when temperatures fluctuate.

Often used to create prototype components, these ceramic rods and discs come semi-fired so they can be machined using conventional metalworking tools.

Over 99% pure, these rods have the strength of silicon carbide throughout, so they resist deforming under heavy loads at high temperatures (known as creep). They’re often used as supports in kilns.

Often used instead of metal in bearings and rollers, these balls are ideal for applications where strength under heavy loads and wear resistance is needed.

Often used to create bearings, silicon-nitride ceramic is harder than many types of bearing steel but is lightweight and can be easily polished. It also withstands high temperatures.

Protectively sheath materials, such as thermocouples, that move between hot and cold environments. Similar to nonporous alumina tubes, air and gas cannot pass through these mullite tubes.

As fracture resistant and durable as metal, this temperature-resistant zirconia ceramic has been fired to obtain a high hardness and can be used in high-wear applications.

Turn and drill intricate components such as heat sinks, fixture parts, and other electronics parts where thermal stability is important.
