Zirconia ceramic positioning pin

Zirconia ceramic locating pin is a precision component made mainly of zirconia (ZrO ₂) through high-temperature sintering process. Its design and function are similar to traditional positioning pins, but with the excellent performance of zirconia ceramic materials.

Significant features:
High hardness and strength: Zirconia ceramics have a hardness second only to diamond and can withstand large loads, ensuring high-precision positioning.
High wear resistance: In long-term use, the threaded surface is not easily worn, extending the service life.
Corrosion resistance: It has good corrosion resistance to chemicals such as acids, alkalis, and salts, and is suitable for harsh environments.
High temperature resistance: With a melting point of up to 2715 ℃, it can maintain stable performance even in high temperature environments.
Low thermal conductivity: Excellent thermal insulation performance, suitable for applications that require insulation.
Electrical insulation: non-conductive, suitable for electronic components and electrical equipment.
Lightweight: The density is about 3.25-3.28 g/cm ³, which is about 60% lighter than steel and reduces the centrifugal force of moving parts.
These characteristics make zirconia ceramic positioning pins perform well in various complex environments, but they are difficult to process, expensive, and sensitive to impact and vibration.
