Product Description
Precision ceramic pistons and plungers for metering, dosing, filling and fluid-dispensing assemblies.
Ceramic plungers are reciprocating or rotating displacement components used with a matched cylinder, sleeve or pump head.
The hard, wear-resistant working surface is useful for repeated pumping motion and consistent interaction with the mating sleeve or seal.
Product Features
- Precision Cylindrical Geometry
- Wear-Resistant Surface
- Material Compatibility Options
- Matched displacement interfaces
Typical Applications
- Precision Dosing — Metering and filling pumps: Supports controlled displacement after geometry and fit review.
- Pharmaceutical and Laboratory Equipment — Hygienic filling and dosing systems: Provides ceramic material options subject to cleaning and contamination requirements.
