Ceramic locating pins
Ceramic Locating Pins – High-Precision Industrial Positioning Component
Ceramic locating pins are advanced industrial ceramic components engineered for high-precision positioning, extreme wear resistance, and long-term dimensional stability. Manufactured from zirconia, alumina, and silicon nitride ceramics, these pins outperform metal and conventional ceramic pins in acid and alkali resistance, hardness, insulation, and high-temperature stability.
Unlike ordinary ceramics, advanced ceramic locating pins offer exceptional mechanical strength, chemical inertness, and zero electrical conductivity, making them ideal for demanding industrial and high-load environments.
Their unique chemical composition and micro-structural design enable superior properties such as high hardness, toughness, corrosion resistance, thermal shock resistance, and extended service life, even under continuous mechanical stress.
