Thanks to the fact that they’re extremely hard, yet versatile in how they can be processed, rubies, sapphires and diamonds are the first choice when it comes to maximum precision and minimal wear. We’re the established experts for this material and its variety of forms and geometries. Some of the most important areas of application include: Jewel bearings in mechanical clocks, precision bearings for measuring devices, slide bearings for high-precision mechanisms, water jet cutting, gas and liquid control, capillary nozzles, precision components for analysis instruments, calibration openings and flow measurements, laser optics and guides.
Ring jewels are used in many high-tech applications thanks to their hardness, resistance to wear and chemical resistance. This includes:
These geometries are optimally suitable for a variety of applications, such as axes, optics and medical technology.
Their advantages include: Extreme wear resistance and long service life, high resistance to heat and chemicals, high stiffness and strength, high optical quality and translucency, minimal thermal expansion
Areas of use include: Guide rods in precision mechanisms, capillary rods for liquid control, high-temperature insulators, watch and instrument glass, sapphire viewing windows, laser optics, pressure and flow sensors
Ring jewels and balls go together perfectly and form a unique pair which we precisely adjust and test. Ideal for precise measurements with callipers and sensitive measuring instruments.
Their advantages include: Extremely hard & resistant to wear, resistant to chemicals, perfectly round geometry with high dimensional accuracy, very low friction & high running precision
Areas of use include: Precision bearings & ball bearings, valve balls for dosing and pump systems, measuring balls for sensors, spray and atomisation nozzles, pressure control valves used in aerospace, dosing and return valves used in chemical processes
