Stock Fasteners
Stock ceramic fasteners from Ceramco are the solution for applications in which metal
alloy or plastic fasteners fail, or simply do not possess the properties demanded by the
environment in which they must exist. The following are just a few of the properties and
characteristics of Ceramco’s stock ceramic machine screws, nuts, bolts and
washers:
- High Temperature Stability – Up to 2,000°C
- Corrosion Protection – Impervious to chemical attack, oxidation and UV light degradation
- Wear Resistant – Stand-up to repeated exposure to high friction
- Non-magnetic – Do not interfere with the assembly process
- Non-conductive – Act as an electrical insulator
- Bio-compatibility – For medical or laboratory applications
- High Purity – Non-outgassing and chemically inert
- Thermal expansion coefficient to better match other materials in your design
- Stiffness and rigidity of a monolithic ceramic
Ceramco understands the special nature of ceramic fasteners. We’ve been
manufacturing OEM ceramic parts for over
30 years. Along the way we’ve learned there are many applications that benefit from the
properties ceramics offer, but require only a traditional or “stock” size and shape.
Ceramco fills this need with a comprehensive offering of inventoried ceramic machine screws,
nuts, bolts and washers in standard sizes.
