Macor® Machinable Glass Ceramic Machinable with ordinary metalworking tools & combining the performance of a technical ceramic with the versatility of a high performance plastic.

Precision Ceramics is a Macor Distributor. Precision Ceramics is a Macor Expert. In fact, there is no other Macor Supplier who knows more about this unique machinable glass ceramic than Precision Ceramics. We're also experts in Macor Metallization and publishers of the Macor Technical Bulletin.

When you need the performance of a technical ceramic and your application demands the ready fabrication of a complicated shape, look at Macor machinable glass ceramic. It will lower costs and substantially reduce the time between your design and actual use.

The great advantage of using Macor machinable glass ceramic is that components can be made quickly, accurately and economically.

• Use Macor and forget about mould costs, firing, shrinkage and diamond machining for high tolerance work

• Use Macor for your products or use it in your production process

• Use Macor for one component or for many

Macor's unique properties find many varied applications:

Electronic/Semiconductor Applications

Precision coil formers (high precision and dimensionally stable). High voltage insulators (smooth surface finish and unaffected by arcing).

Laser Applications

Spacers, cavities and reflectors in laser assemblies (precision finish and heat resistant).

High Vacuum Applications

Thermal breaks in high temperature processing equipment. Coil supports and vacuum feed-throughs (vacuum stable and hermetically sealable).

Aerospace/Space Industry

Retaining rings on hinges, windows and doors of NASA's Space Shuttle. Supports and components in several satellite borne systems (thermally and electronically insulating)

Nuclear Industry

Fixtures and reference blocks in power generation units (dimensionally unaffected by irradiation).

Plus a multitude of unique applications in a diverse range of other industries.

If you do not have your own machining facilities, or your workshop is fully occupied, send your drawings to us and we can quote for your requirements as well as advise on your application and design..
