High-Performance Alumina Ceramic Insulating Rings And Bearing Races: Precision Components For Demanding Environments

Introduction
Alumina ceramic (Al₂O₃) insulating rings and bearing races are advanced industrial ceramic components manufactured from high-purity alumina powder through precision molding and ultra-high-temperature sintering. They perfectly combine excellent electrical insulation, extreme hardness, outstanding wear resistance, and stable chemical properties, making them the preferred metal replacement for extreme operating conditions involving high temperatures, high wear, strong corrosion, and electrical insulation requirements.

Applications

• Insulating Rings: Widely used in vacuum coating equipment, semiconductor manufacturing devices, high-frequency induction furnaces, high-voltage electrical equipment, lasers, and other applications as critical insulation and support components.

• Bearing Races: Primarily used in special bearing fields requiring high speed, high precision, and corrosion resistance, such as chemical pumps, medical equipment (MRI), precision instruments, food machinery, and high-temperature furnace transmission systems. They are paired with ceramic balls to form full ceramic bearings.

Advantages

1. Excellent Electrical Insulation: High resistivity effectively isolates current, ensuring equipment safety.

2. Exceptional Wear and Corrosion Resistance: High hardness and resistance to acids, alkalis, and solvents, with a service life far exceeding that of metal parts.

3. High-Temperature Oxidation Resistance: Maintains stable performance at temperatures up to 1500°C, with no oxidation issues.

4. Non-Magnetic Properties: Completely non-magnetic, suitable for applications requiring absolute non-magnetic environments such as MRI.

5. Low Density and Lightweight: Weighs only about 40% of steel, significantly reducing centrifugal force in high-speed rotating components and increasing maximum operating speed.

Manufacturing Process
Raw material formulation → Ball milling and mixing → Spray granulation → Dry pressing/Isostatic pressing → High-temperature sintering (>1600°C) → CNC precision machining → Non-destructive testing → Dimensional inspection → Cleaning and packaging.

Usage Instructions

1. Installation: Ensure even force distribution during installation. Do not strike directly with metal hammers. Use plastic or copper tools and apply lubricant to installation holes and shaft surfaces.

2. Mating: Ceramic races should be paired with Grade G3 or higher ceramic balls. Avoid mixing with balls of different materials.

FAQ
Q1: Can ceramic bearing races replace steel races?
A: Yes, but selection depends on the operating conditions. Ceramic races are ideal replacements for corrosive, non-magnetic, high-temperature, and high-speed applications. However, their toughness is lower than steel, making them unsuitable for applications with severe impacts.

Q2: What surface finish can be achieved for insulating rings?
A: Through precision grinding and polishing, our products can achieve a surface finish of up to Ra0.01μm, meeting the requirements for ultra-high vacuum environments.

Q3: Can complex-shaped structures be machined?
A: Yes. We have advanced CNC grinding machines and laser processing equipment, supporting the customization of precision ceramic parts with various complex shapes based on customer drawings.
