Mechanical components for pumps & valves

Advanced ceramics offer significant advantages over metals and plastics. They have in general good mechanical properties and are particularly resistant to compression. Some ceramics are very resistant to wear and friction. They also show relatively low friction coefficient and good toughness. It is also possible to achieve very good surface finishes that ensure leak tightness. Ceramics are all the more relevant when the application is associated with thermal stresses, abrasive particles or food compatibility. And ceramics are inert mateials that are resistant to many gases and acids. Applications In view of their mechanical properties and resistance to wear ceramics are found in the following mechanical industries : pumps valves dispensing units mechanical seals analyzing equipment Products Microcertec offer the following ceramic components : valve components pistons seal rings shear discs Materials There are many different types of ceramics that can meet the requirement for...
