Custom Ceramic Rods, Tubes, Pins and Sleeves

HERUN manufactures ceramic rods, tubes, shafts, pins, sleeves and protection tubes for insulation, wear, heat and corrosion applications. Custom outer diameter, inner diameter, length, holes, chamfers and surface finish are available.

Ceramic Rod and Tube Applications

The same basic shape can serve very different purposes depending on material, tolerance and finish.

Insulating ceramic tubes

Alumina tubes for electrical insulation, heating equipment, furnace supports, sensors and protection sleeves.

Thermocouple protection tubes

High-temperature tubes that protect sensors in furnaces, kilns and thermal process equipment.

Ceramic rods and pins

Solid rods, pins, plungers and guides for wear-resistant contact and positioning.

Zirconia shafts and sleeves

Smooth wear components for pumps, valves, automation and sliding assemblies.

Multi-hole ceramic tubes

Perforated and multi-bore tubes for heating, electrical and process applications.

Cut-to-length production

Custom length, chamfer, end face grinding, polishing and inspection according to the drawing.

Material Choice

Alumina is usually selected for insulating tubes, high-temperature supports and cost-effective rods. Zirconia is selected for tougher rods, shafts, sleeves and smooth wear surfaces.

Quote Details

  • Outer diameter, inner diameter and length.
  • Material grade and purity if known.
  • Tolerance, straightness, surface finish and end treatment.
  • Quantity, working temperature and assembly use.

Made to Match Your Assembly

For ceramic rods and tubes, small dimensional differences often decide whether the part fits. HERUN reviews the drawing and confirms the key dimensions before production.

Round Components

Custom rods, pins, shafts, tubes and sleeves

Round ceramic parts often look simple, yet function can depend on diameter, straightness, roundness, bore, finish and edge details. HERUN reviews alumina or zirconia parts against the assembly and duty rather than quoting from length and diameter alone.

Solid rods

Alumina or zirconia rods for insulation, wear, support or positioning duties.

Pins and plungers

Ground or polished parts with custom ends, steps or working diameters.

Shafts and guides

Round precision components where fit, wear and surface condition matter.

Insulating tubes

Alumina tubes for electrical isolation, heater support or thermal protection.

Sleeves and bushings

Custom bore and OD relationships for protection, alignment or sliding contact.

Special tube geometry

Steps, flanges, side holes or end features reviewed from the drawing.

Specification Guide

What controls a rod or tube quote

FeatureWhy it mattersRFQ detail
Diameter and lengthLong, slender ceramic parts require careful handling and straightness review.Overall length, working length and critical diameter zones.
Bore and wall thicknessThin or deep features affect forming and firing feasibility.Bore diameter, length, concentricity and minimum wall.
Working surfaceSliding or sealing surfaces may need grinding or polishing.Finish, counterface, speed and lubrication.
Ends and edgesSharp edges can chip during use or assembly.Chamfer, radius, shoulder, thread or end-face requirements.

Approximately 0.01 mm may be reviewable on suitable ground diameters or other accessible precision features. Feasibility depends on material, length-to-diameter ratio, geometry, size, finish and inspection method.

Selection

Match the material to the round part's job

Alumina is often the practical starting point for electrical insulation, elevated-temperature support and cost-effective wear. Zirconia is often considered for tougher compact pins, shafts, sleeves and polished sliding contact. The final choice should be checked against the actual assembly.
