Ceramic Guides

Ceramic Guides for Reduced Wear

Guides in pulley systems can wear out quickly if made of materials which are not especially resistant to wear, yet ceramic guides provide long-lasting performance due to the slow-wearing strength of technical ceramic materials. Other machining components such as spacers which are used to prevent wear due to friction can be made from these durable ceramic materials, which include Alumina, Steatite, Silicon Carbide and a number of other friction-resistant materials.


Ceramic Guides and Other Ceramic Machining is Heat Resistant

In addition to the abrasive force placed on a ceramic guide, friction also causes objects which are subjected to the force to heat up, which is another reason why ceramic machining such as these parts last well, as ceramics are also resistant to high temperatures and will not crack due to mere exposure to high temperatures. Specialist ceramic machining manufacturers are able to create custom parts according to original designs, in addition to the many standard parts which can be purchased.
