95% Alumina Ceramic Insulators High-voltage Alumina Ceramic Insulating Rings and Tubes
Product Description
Alumina ceramic insulating tubes and rings are tubular insulating components made from industrial alumina (Al₂O₃) ceramic. They are essential components in the electrical, electronics, and high-temperature industries.
The alumina content typically ranges from 95% to 99.9%, with higher purity typically resulting in improved electrical properties and high-temperature resistance. They are designed to isolate live components and prevent current leakage. Their core function is to provide reliable electrical insulation and structural support under extreme conditions, while also withstanding mechanical loads and harsh environments.
Material Purity Options:
-
95%-96% Alumina: Suitable for most high-temperature, wear-resistant, and general insulation industrial applications, offering the best value.
-
99%-99.5% Alumina: Used in demanding applications such as high-frequency, high-voltage, high-vacuum, and semiconductors, offering superior performance but a higher price.
When your application requires comprehensive insulation performance, temperature resistance, structural strength, and environmental durability, alumina ceramic insulating tubing is often the most reliable and professional choice.
It's more than just an insulator; it's a critical cornerstone for ensuring safe, stable, and long-term operation of equipment in high-end fields like power generation, semiconductor manufacturing, and scientific experiments.
