Ceramic Capstans and Pulleys

Wire drawing is a high-tension, high-speed process that requires absolute durability and surface integrity. Capstans and pulleys are critical contact points in this process, guiding and tensioning wire as it is reduced in diameter. Traditional metal components quickly wear under friction and tension, leading to product inconsistencies and frequent replacements.

Ceramic capstans and pulleys from CeramForge are engineered for wire drawing and cable manufacturing applications, delivering unmatched wear resistance, thermal stability, and a smooth surface finish that protects delicate wire surfaces.

Ceramic Hydrocyclones

Hydrocyclones are vital to classification and separation operations in mineral processing, wastewater treatment, and chemical industries. They use centrifugal force to separate solid particles from liquid based on size and density. However, when processing abrasive slurries, standard hydrocyclones quickly succumb to wear, compromising efficiency and increasing downtime.

Ceramic hydrocyclones address this issue by incorporating wear-resistant ceramic materials into critical internal components such as the cone, apex (spigot), and vortex finder. These components are where the most aggressive wear occurs due to high-velocity particle flow.

Gap Sub Washers

A gap sub washer functions as a precise spacer or insulator placed between two components in a mechanical or hydraulic system. It controls the axial clearance or "gap" between parts while also distributing compressive loads evenly. In high-wear environments—such as drilling, fluid handling, and precision tooling—ceramic versions of these washers offer far greater performance and reliability than conventional alternatives.

  • Minimal Deformation: High compressive strength ensures no collapse or creep under axial loads.

Mud Pump Liner

Mud pumps are high-pressure, reciprocating pumps used extensively in drilling operations to circulate drilling fluids (mud) into the borehole. These fluids carry cuttings to the surface and stabilize well pressure. The mud pump liner, or sleeve, is a critical wear component inside the pump cylinder, exposed to continuous abrasion and high-pressure cycles.

Ceramic mud pump liners are engineered to outperform traditional steel or bi-metallic liners by using ultra-hard ceramic sleeves that significantly reduce wear, erosion, and friction. These liners are essential in ensuring consistent pump performance and longer maintenance intervals, especially in deep drilling and high-pressure environments.

  • Exceptional Wear Resistance: Extends life up to 5x longer than steel or chrome-plated options.
  • High Pressure Tolerance: Ideal for pressures exceeding 7,500 PSI.
  • Thermal and Chemical Stability: Performs reliably in variable drilling environments.
  • Low Friction Surface: Reduces piston wear and improves seal longevity.
  • Reduced Downtime: Longer life means fewer changeouts and more drilling uptime.

Piston and Cylinder for Hlpc Pumps

In HPLC systems, pistons and cylinders are critical components responsible for creating precise fluid displacement in reciprocating pumps. As the piston moves within the cylinder, it draws and dispenses ultra-small volumes of sample or solvent at controlled high pressures.

Ceramic versions of these components outperform metal or polymer counterparts by offering, superior wear resistance under continuous motion, inertness to aggressive mobile phases (acidic, basic, or organic solvents), tight sealing with sapphire or ceramic check valves for micro-flow control and noncontaminating performance critical for analytical accuracy.

CeramForge pistons and cylinders are designed with ultra-fine tolerances to ensure smooth, lowfriction movement and long service life—ideal for both binary and quaternary pump systems.

Valve, Valve Seats and Plugs

Ceramic valves are precision-engineered components used to regulate, restrict, or isolate fluid flow. In particular ceramic Valve Bodies handle full pressure and fluid load, ceramic Valve Seats provide a precise sealing interface, ceramic Plugs are used in plug valves to control flow direction or shut-off. These components are used in both linear (e.g., piston, diaphragm valves) and rotary (e.g., plug, ball valves) mechanisms, particularly where metal components corrode or wear out too quickly.

Spacer Cans

A spacer can is a non-contact component used in sealless magnetic drive pumps. It houses the internal rotor assembly and isolates it from the external magnet assembly. Traditional spacer cans made from stainless steel or Hastelloy are prone to eddy current generation, which reduces pump efficiency and causes heat buildup.

Ceramic spacer cans, in contrast, offer a non-metallic solution, effectively eliminating eddy currents and increasing system efficiency.

Sliding Bearings

Ceramic sliding bearings are load-bearing components that operate under relative motion between surfaces—either oscillating or continuously sliding—without the use of rolling elements. Unlike traditional ball or roller bearings, sliding bearings handle axial or radial loads through surface contact, and when constructed from advanced ceramics, they deliver outstanding performance in harsh operating conditions. They are ideal for use in applications where lubrication is minimal or intermittent, temperatures are high, and media is corrosive or abrasive.
