ZC11871 Zirconia Ceramic Bushing

Zirconia Ceramic Bushing Description

Zirconia Ceramic Bushing is engineered using zirconium dioxide (ZrO₂) processed via controlled sintering. The material exhibits a density of 6.1 g/cm³, a flexural strength of 900 MPa, and a compressive strength of 3000 MPa. With a thermal conductivity of 2.5 W/mK and an operating temperature of up to 1000°C, the bushing also provides electrical insulation with a volume resistivity of 1e14 ohm·cm. These properties support mechanical stability and insulation in high-load industrial environments.

Zirconia Ceramic Bushing Applications

1.       Industrial Machinery
   - Used as a bearing bushing in heavy-duty pumps to mitigate friction and wear by leveraging its high compressive strength and elevated operating temperature. 

2.       Automotive Systems
   - Applied as a vibration isolator in engine assemblies to reduce thermal expansion-induced stresses by utilising its stable thermal conductivity and mechanical strength. 

3.       Electrical Connectors
   - Employed as an insulating component in electrical assemblies to prevent leakage currents through its high volume resistivity and controlled dielectric properties.

Zirconia Ceramic Bushing Packing

Zirconia Ceramic Bushing is packaged in a protective, anti-static container with foam inserts to prevent mechanical damage during transport. The packaging incorporates moisture-resistant materials and is sealed to mitigate contamination risks. It is recommended to store the bushing in a dry, temperature-controlled environment. Custom packaging options are available to meet specific handling and storage protocols for ceramic components.

Additional Information

Zirconium dioxide (ZrO₂) ceramics have long been recognised for their outstanding thermal and mechanical features. Enhanced sintering techniques and controlled microstructural processing allow for precise tailoring of properties such as density, strength, and thermal conductivity. These characteristics are crucial in applications subjected to rigorous mechanical and thermal stresses.

In materials science, ongoing research focuses on improving the fracture toughness and wear resistance of zirconia ceramics. This progress has broadened their utility in diverse industrial environments, where stability at high temperatures and effective electrical insulation are essential for long-term component performance.
