Ajex & Turner’s ceramic toolings, including bushes, eyelets, pulleys, rings, and guides, are engineered to deliver exceptional performance in high-wear environments. Our ceramic components feature materials like Alumina, Chromium Oxide, and Tungsten Carbide Cobalt, each selected for their hardness and durability, making them ideal for wire processing and industrial applications.

Key Ceramic Toolings & Benefits

• Thermal Spray Coated Pulleys: Our metal pulleys, capstans, and other tooling options are coated with Alumina, Chromium Oxide, or Tungsten Carbide Cobalt through thermal spray techniques. This coating process enhances wear resistance and performance, with customization options available for precise specifications.
  
  • Benefits: Lightweight (aluminum), low starting torque, good concentricity, and quick lead times without the need for molds.

• Ceramic Bushes, Pulleys, Rings, and Guides: Designed for applications requiring extreme hardness and wear resistance, our ceramic components support smoother operations and longer service life.
  
  • Material Hardness:
    
    • Alumina: 750–1,000 HV (HRC 62–69)
    • Chromium Oxide: 1,000–1,800 HV (HRC 70–80)
    • Tungsten Carbide Cobalt: 750–1,450 HV (HRC 65–75)
