Products Description
Zirconia Ceramic Characteristics:
* Zirconia Ceramics have the highest toughness and strength at room temperature of all the advanced ceramic materials.
* Zirconia ceramics are widely used in the field of structural ceramics because of their high toughness, high flexural strength, high wear resistance, excellent thermal insulation performance, and a thermal expansion coefficient close to that of steel. Mainly include: Y-TZP grinding balls, dispersing and grinding media, nozzles, ball valve seats, zirconia molds, micro fan shafts, optical fiber pins, optical fiber sleeves, wire drawing dies and cutting tools, clothing buttons, watch cases and watches Belts, bracelets and pendants, ball bearings, golf light bats and other wear-resistant parts at room temperature.
Industry：
This dense advanced ceramics material is typically precision ground using conventional diamond cutters and wheels. Machines used for precision grinding include: 1. Surface grinders 2. CNC milling machines 3. Jig grinders 4. Centerless grinders 5. CNC lathes 6. ID grinders
| ❓ Frequently Asked Questions – Middia Zirconia Ceramic Piston Shafts & Industrial Rods | |
|---|---|
| 1. What size range can Middia produce for zirconia ceramic rods and shafts? | Middia offers a wide customisation range: diameters from φ2 mm to φ200 mm, and lengths up to 600 mm (longer available upon request). We support any non‑standard dimensions and complex geometries including stepped shafts, tapered ends, and multi‑diameter profiles – all based on your engineering drawings. |
| 2. What precision and surface finish can you achieve? | With our in‑house Swiss and Japanese precision grinding equipment, we routinely achieve: • Surface roughness Ra ≤ 0.05 μm (mirror finish) • Dimensional tolerance down to ±0.002 mm • Cylindricity and roundness ≤ 0.002 mm This ultra‑precision ensures leak‑free fit and consistent metering accuracy over millions of cycles. |
| 3. Can you provide custom cutting, grinding, polishing, and complex features? | Absolutely. Our one‑stop custom processing service includes: • CNC cutting to exact length • Grinding and lapping for mirror finishes • Polishing to reduce friction and improve seal life • Additional features: threads, grooves, radial holes, tapers, steps, and end profiles All operations are performed in‑house to ensure quality control and fast delivery. |
| 4. What are the lead times for prototypes and mass production? | For prototypes, we offer as fast as 3 working days after drawing and material confirmation. For mass production, typical lead time is 15–25 working days, depending on quantity and complexity. We prioritise urgent orders and have flexible production lines to accommodate rush requests. |
| 5. Are your zirconia ceramic shafts certified for food, medical, and pharmaceutical use? | Yes. Middia zirconia materials are fully compliant with: • FDA (Food Contact Notification) • LFGB (German food safety) • EU (European food‑contact regulations) • ISO 10993 (Biocompatibility for medical devices) Our rods are chemically inert, non‑toxic, and release zero metal ions, making them ideal for pharmaceutical filling, food processing, and biomedical equipment. |
| 6. How do Middia zirconia rods compare to steel or tungsten carbide in pump applications? | Compared to hardened steel and tungsten carbide, Middia zirconia offers: • 5–10× longer service life in abrasive and corrosive media • Lower friction (self‑lubricating micro‑porous surface) – reduces seal wear and energy consumption • No corrosion or pitting – chemically inert • Lighter weight (density ~6.0 g/cm³ vs. WC ~15 g/cm³) – reduces inertial load Our rods have been field‑tested for over 5 million cycles in high‑pressure metering pumps with less than 1 μm dimensional change. |
