Ceramic Bushings

Why Ceramic Bushings Make Fine Machining

There are numerous different materials used to make bearings, from polished steel and other metals to graphite and ceramics. Ceramic bushings are particularly effective as ceramics are especially hard and any particles which could get lodged in an opening and limit the operation of a bearing are ground down. Ceramic bushings can be purchased via ceramic specialists, who manufacture machining in a number of the materials known collectively as technical ceramics.

Ceramic Bushings and Other Ceramic Machining

Threaded insert-type ceramic bushings and other designs can be obtained in hard materials such as Alumina and Steatite which are well-suited for use in a wide variety of applications in which bushings are required. Other ceramic machining which can be obtained in durable ceramics includes tubes, nozzles, cones, rings, rods, guides and many other parts. Ceramics are able to withstand high temperatures, making these materials well-suited to environments such as furnace systems, where materials need to be able to withstand long term heat exposure.
