Ceramic support pins - precision and durability for demanding manufacturing processes

In modern production environments, precise positioning, repeat accuracy and production reliabilityare keyrequirements. Support pins perform a crucial function here: they are used to securely hold and precisely position workpieces, devices or tools during a wide variety of machining processes. The design with a point contact surface offers several advantages: it prevents contamination from production residues such as chips or dust and at the same time enables easy cleaning - a feature that is particularly important in automated or sensitive areas.

Why ceramic support pins from Megatron AG?

The Doceram support pins sold by Megatron AG are made of Cerazur®, a high-performance ceramic based on zirconium oxide, which is characterized by a number of technical advantages:

• Extremely wear-resistant: Even with high quantities and continuous use, the pins retain their shape and dimensional accuracy - ideal for series production and automated processes.

• Electrically insulating: Cerazur® is completely electrically non-conductive - a decisive advantage in electronics and semiconductor production, where metal contact can lead to damage.

• No metallic abrasion marks: In contrast to steel, ceramic does not produce abrasion particles that could damage surfaces or disrupt processes.

• Chemically resistant: Cerazur® resists common industrial chemicals, oils and cooling lubricants - even with long exposure times and changing conditions.

• Temperature and corrosion resistant: The ceramic bolts retain their properties even under thermal stress and in aggressive environments.

Typical areas of application for ceramic bearing pins

Doceram's ceramic support pins are used in numerous industries and applications, e.g:

• Automotive engineering: Positioning elements in car body frame construction or for parts feeding

• Electrical engineering and PCB production: Processes with insulation requirements

• Assembly automation and handling technology: precise gripping, holding and storing of components

• Fixture and tool construction: Reusable reference points in assemblies

In all cases, the pins impress with their durability, dimensional accuracy and clean, reproducible positioning - even with demanding cycle times and in high-speed applications.

Material profile - Cerazur® from Doceram

Cerazur® is a specially developed zirconium oxide material that belongs to the family of oxide ceramics. It combines mechanical strength with excellent fracture toughness and is dimensionally stable even under high loads. Thanks to these properties, Cerazur® is the preferred choice for demanding industrial processes where conventional materials reach their limits.
