These shafts include a support rail for a stable setup that eliminates bending and prevents linear bearings from rotating.

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.

Create bushings and other parts that will be exposed to abrasion, harsh chemicals, high heat, and rubbing with these rods. Sintering strengthens the bonds within silicon carbide, leaving it two times stronger than other versions of silicon carbide.

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.

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

Ideal for applications that must resist bending and wear as well as carry heavy loads, these rods and discs are often used for sleeve bearings and shafts instead of metal.

To resist deforming, expanding, or cracking when compressed, bent, or exposed to quick temperature changes, these silicon-nitride ceramic discs have been pressed into ultra-dense discs. They’re just as strong and fracture resistant as zirconia ceramic, and hold their strength and shape at higher temperatures.

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.
