Solid Ceramic Fasteners – High & Low Voltage Environments
Materials used for electrical insulation can be required to either contain the voltage, or not interfere with the voltage. High mechanical strength is also a requirement in many such applications. While fasteners may not serve in the role of insulator, their proximity to the electrical field often demands they possess the same critical properties as the insulator itself. The ability to deliver all three characteristics is found in one material: ceramics. Now, when facing this problem, you'll have the solution… Solid Ceramic Fasteners from Ceramco, Inc.
High Voltage Applications
High voltage applications produce currents so strong they find any defect, leading to the corona effect, corona discharge, or worse… a conduction path other than the one intended for the current. Ceramco’s solid ceramic fasteners of A998 alumina are engineered to provide a defect-free connection for high voltage insulation applications. Our solid ceramic fasteners are tested under a vacuum for leaks and inspected for cracks with a dye penetrant. Fastener batches are also visually inspected under magnification.
Low Voltage Applications
Managing low voltage electrical fields in sensitive analytical instruments (for example) require equally as sensitive fasteners. In such applications signals as low as 70 eV are found and cannot be interfered with. The high purity of Ceramco’s A998 alumina makes it the ideal material for fasteners for similar applications. Solid ceramic fasteners made of Ceramco’s high purity A998 alumina are non-conductive, gas-tight (non-outgassing) and inert, assuring non-interference. Ceramco already serves numerous areas of the electronics and instrumentation market.
Strength
Ceramco utilizes two manufacturing techniques resulting a solid ceramic fastener that is also strong.
1. Fully molding the solid ceramic fastener, including the threads to avoid machining, as it is the machining that weakens the ceramic.
2. Full density firing of the solid ceramic fastener; the ceramic composition determines the length of time it can fired.
Solid ceramic fasteners (like all fasteners) have limits to their strength ratings. These characteristics are called: Mechanical Properties. When not over-torqued, or subjected to impacts, Ceramco’s solid ceramic fasteners deliver consistent, reliable and long-lasting performance in high and low voltage environments.
