This Alumina Ceramic Bushing Insulator is manufactured from high-purity alumina (Al₂O₃) precision ceramic material, these products are created through isostatic pressing, high-temperature sintering, and precision machining. Designed for extreme operating conditions—characterized by high temperatures, heavy wear, corrosive environments, and high-voltage requirements—they combine extreme hardness with outstanding wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and electrical insulation properties. They serve as indispensable precision components for the semiconductor, new energy, laboratory, and high-voltage electrical sectors, offering an ideal replacement for traditional metal bushings.
Alumina Ceramic Bushing Insulator for High-voltage Electrical Equipment
Product Description
Alumina Bushing offer exceptional insulation and high-temperature resistance (up to 1600°C), withstanding corrosion from plasma, acids, alkalis, and various solvents. Their ultra-low particle generation meets the stringent cleanroom standards required for wafer manufacturing. We offer customization options regarding purity (95%, 99%, or 99.9% alumina), precision tolerances, and surface finishes, making them suitable for diverse applications such as insulation liners for ion implanters, wear-resistant bushings for wafer handling robots, and thermal insulation sleeves for high-temperature tube furnaces. Compared to plastic, metal, or quartz alternatives, alumina bushings significantly reduce equipment failure rates and maintenance costs. We support comprehensive precision processing—including cylindrical grinding, metallization, slotting, and threading—to provide global industrial equipment manufacturers with one-stop custom solutions for industrial ceramic components.
Product Core Advantages
1. Ultra-high hardness and exceptional wear resistance
Alumina ceramic bushings feature a Mohs hardness of 9 (second only to diamond) and a Rockwell hardness of 80–90 HRA, far surpassing wear-resistant steel and stainless steel. Their wear resistance is 266 times that of manganese steel and 171.5 times that of high-chromium cast iron; they maintain extremely low wear rates (as low as 0.01 mm/1,000 hours) even under heavy-load, high-speed friction conditions, significantly extending equipment service life.
2.High-temperature resistance and excellent thermal stability
Long-term service temperature: 1450–1675°C (depending on purity grade)
Short-term service temperature: up to 1700–1750°C
Maintains excellent mechanical strength and dimensional stability at high temperatures; features a low coefficient of thermal expansion (6.5–8.0 × 10⁻⁶/℃), ensuring a good fit with metal shafts and preventing fit failure caused by temperature fluctuations.
3.Corrosion-resistant with excellent chemical stability
It exhibits outstanding chemical inertness against strong acids, strong alkalis, organic solvents, and molten metals. Capable of resisting various corrosive media even at high temperatures, it is suitable for highly corrosive environments in industries such as chemicals, petroleum, and metallurgy, effectively eliminating issues like metal bushing corrosion and seal failure.
4.Excellent electrical insulation properties
Volume resistivity (25°C): >1×10¹⁴ Ω·cm
Dielectric strength: 15–20 kV/mm
Dielectric constant (1 MHz): 9.5–9.7
Maintains excellent insulation performance across a wide frequency range—from DC to gigahertz—making it an ideal insulating support component for high-voltage electrical equipment and electronic components.
5.Precision machining ensures high dimensional accuracy.
Utilizing a combination of isostatic pressing, CNC precision machining, and diamond grinding/polishing processes, the following specifications are achieved:
Inner diameter tolerance: ±2–5 μm
Outer diameter tolerance: ±5–10 μm
Surface roughness: Ra ≤ 0.1 μm (polished surface) / Ra 0.2–0.6 μm (sintered surface)
The clearance with the shaft can be precisely controlled, ensuring smooth, vibration-free operation.
