CoorsTek UltraSiC silicon carbide mosaic plates, pedestals, and light shields provide excellent thermal and dimensional stability. These components are precision machined to tight tolerances and lapped to micron level flatness.

Sintered silicon carbide structures are an ideal solution for imagers and instruments that require exceptional thermomechanical stability. In addition to mirror and focal plane array structures, CoorsTek provides custom struts, supports, and rigid frames engineered for optimal performance eliminating stresses and errors due to material mismatch. Using CoorsTek UltraSiC advanced technical ceramics, the mass of completed telescope and instruments is typically 2-3 times less than traditional designs while combining zero creep or fatigue with homogeneous isotropic properties throughout the structure.

CERAMIC SENSOR TECHNOLOGY LEADER

CoorsTek leads the market in ceramic sensor components - delivering over 100, 000, 000 advanced ceramic sensor components every year. For over three decades, CoorsTek has helped OEMs and their suppliers select the best design, material, process, and secondary services to ensure exceptional quality and high-performance sensor components.

CoorsTek provides custom ceramic-to-metal feedthrough assemblies for passing energy or materials between the outside and inside of hermetically-sealed chambers. These feedthroughs combine electrical insulation with vacuum-tight performance and are engineered to withstand harsh conditions like high or cryogenic temperatures, high pressure or vacuum, and aggressive chemicals.

CoorsTek ceramic epoxy seal lids are prepared for B-stage epoxies with rapid cure cycles delivering high-strength, moisture-resistant seals for electronic and pressure-sensitive devices. Our epoxy seal has excellent fillet formation characteristics, and the high post-cure thermal and moisture resistance needed for high-reliability electronic packages.

AEROSPACE MIRRORSAerospace mirrors are used in a wide range of airborne sensing and imaging applications:

space telescopes across ultraviolet (UV), visible (VIS), and infrared (IR) wavelengths
fast steering mirrors for scanning, tracking, sighting, and alignment
laser communications and high-energy laser systems
gimbaled multi-spectral sensors for remote sensing

CoorsTek offers a full line of air bearing guideway components, and structural components and beams for precision measurement. High specific stiffness and excellent thermal stability make our ceramic beams and stage components ideal for coordinate measurement machines, semiconductor lithography and wafer inspection, flat panel display processing, and high-speed electronics assembly applications.

Improve Machine Performance
Isostatically pressed hollow-beam designs permit increased speeds due to higher stiffness and lighter weights. Our high-purity ceramic materials exhibit extremely low expansion properties providing exceptional stability for greater accuracy over a wide range of operating temperatures.

CoorsTek ultra-precise Cerbec Bearing Balls are ideal for use in wind turbines, available in up to 50 mm diameters. The inherent dielectric properties of silicon nitride (Si3N4) provide electrical insulation in generator bearings eliminating stray current damage and premature failure. Their unique design, composition, and finish allow each wind turbine to be more energy and cost efficient. These benefits include:

Electrical insulation - eliminate stray current damage & premature failure
Reduced friction- less lubrication, wear, and increased efficiency
Lighter weight- reduced starting and operating torque
Tight tolerance- increased life and decreased maintenance

Aluminum nitride (AlN) has a very high thermal conductivity, allowing this unique ceramic to spread and get rid of heat quickly. This allows electronic components to maintain cooler operating temperatures while still providing the excellent electrical insulation of ceramic insulators

CoorsTek ThermTile ceramic heat sinks and electrical insulators are an optimum choice when thermal management is important combining the benefits of strong ceramic tiles, good thermal conductivity, and phase-change materials to improve heat transfer from power electronics and other heat-generating devices.
