Achieving peak performance in micropositioning with Kyocera’s precision ceramic solutions
The demands on modern high-tech products and industrial manufacturing processes are continuously increasing – and with them the expectations for precise positioning solutions. Kyocera meets this challenge with customised ceramic components that have been specially developed for micropositioning.
The right choice with KYOCERA Fineceramics Europe
In close collaboration with leading manufacturers in the micropositioning industry, Kyocera has developed high-precision ceramic solutions tailored to the requirements of electromechanical solid-state actuators made of piezoceramics. These actuators are used in applications where maximum precision, repeatability, and reliability are crucial.
The key to success lies in the combination of decades of materials expertise, state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies, and a deep understanding of customer needs.
Materials such as microcrystalline aluminum oxide, zirconia-toughened alumina, and sapphire are used. These materials offer high dimensional stability, wear resistance, and defined surface properties that are essential for low-vibration and reliable operation of mechanically sensitive assemblies. In addition, they are electrically insulating, non-magnetic, have extremely low porosity, and enable stable thermal performance through adjustable thermal conductivity – even under ultra-high vacuum conditions or at cryogenic temperatures.
Ceramic precision parts for the highest demands in piezo stepper motors
Piezo stepper motors are a typical area of application. Kyocera components such as friction rails, rings, tips or friction noses are used here. The decisive factors here are precise geometry, controlled surface roughness and high mechanical load capacity.
Reliable quality from prototype to series production
Thanks to in-house manufacturing, Kyocera can control the entire production process – from material development to series production. This comprehensive expertise allows for the reliable delivery of both small quantities for prototypes and large-scale production in consistently high quality.
The result: Ceramic solutions that not only meet technical requirements but also contribute to the efficiency and innovation of our customers' end products.
