Technical Ceramics – Application Overview
Insulators & Energy Technology
Technical ceramics insulators are required at high temperatures and mechanical loads, as well as for safe isolation with high voltage.
Sensors
Sensors made of technical ceramics are used at high temperatures, in corrosive media, or for wear protection.
Automotive
In the automotive industry, technical ceramics are used due to their special properties such as heat resistance, mechanical strength, chemical stability, and electrical insulation.
Seals, Pumps and Valves
Seals, pumps, and valves made of technical ceramics are used in a wide variety of applications and products.
Household Appliances & Heating/Cooling
Technical ceramics are used for thermally stressed components due to their excellent thermal properties.
Lamp Bases & Fixtures
A lamp base is the part of a lamp that provides the mechanical and electrical connection to a mounting base. The lamp holder is the element that secures the light bulb in the fixture.
Nozzles
Nozzles made of zirconia or alumina offer extremely high wear resistance in aggressive and corrosive media.
Pipes and Shafts
Ceramic pipes and shafts are used in technical applications for insulation as well as for measurement and safety technology.
Machine & Plant Engineering
Technical ceramics have countless applications in the machinery and plant engineering due to their excellent properties.
Ceramic‑Metal Composites
In technical ceramics, all common joining techniques such as threading, press fitting, compression, rolling, bonding, and soldering with automatic assembly machines are realized.
Bushings, Tubes, Heating Conductors
In high mechanical loads, thermal stresses, or aggressive environmental conditions, bushings, fracture-resistant tubes, and heating wire supports are made of technical ceramics.
