Ceramic Guides

Why Ceramic Guides Offer Superior Performance

Ceramic guides are widely used in industrial pulley systems, due to their superior performance. Technical ceramics are a category of materials which includes oxides such as Alumina as well as Carbides such as silicon carbide and other materials. Ceramics have higher hardness, making them good material choices for applications such as spacers and guides, where abrasion caused by friction must not be allowed to compromise the integrity of machining and cause it to deform.


Ceramic Guides are also suitable for Heated Environments

Ceramics are mostly formed through the action of heat, and for this reason they are tempered and are able to withstand higher temperatures than many other materials. Ceramic guides can thus be used in highly heated environments safely, as can ceramic machining which serves other functions. Ceramic machining specialists create the full spectrum of common industrial machining components, and some manufacturers even offer custom parts, and create machining according to the unique needs of various industries.
