Ceramic Spacers

What are Ceramic Spacers?

Spacers are machining components which are used between movable parts (often in an opening through which a rod or other part passes) to reduce friction which can cause wear on industrial systems. Ceramic spacers are spacers which are made from the category of durable materials referred to as ‘technical ceramics’. These are industrial ceramics such as Alumina, Silicon Carbide and Steatite which are capable of surviving high temperatures and have superior resistance to abrasion.

Ordering Ceramic Spacers and other Parts Online

Ordering ceramic spacers and other parts online, direct from the manufacturers, is a convenient method for obtaining the machining you need. Your supplier can provide you with a product catalogue which will provide ordering information for parts, thus making obtaining parts of the required specifications a simple matter. Specialists may also be able to create parts modeled on your original designs, if you need machining for a unique application such as newly developed equipment which is highly specialized.
