About this product

We supply a wide range of ceramic insulators — including multi-bore tubes, fish spine beads, ignition tubes and electrical feed-through components — designed to protect conductors, manage high-voltage separation and maintain insulating performance under extreme temperatures and aggressive environments. Products are available in single, twin, 4, 6 and custom multi-bore configurations, in standard stock sizes or complex custom shapes. Ignition tubes are supplied straight or shaped, glazed or unglazed, and as components or pre-assembled units. Lead-through tubes are available flanged for furnace wall passages for burners, cables and thermocouples.

FAQs

Your questions answered

What types of ceramic insulators do you supply?

The range covers electrical insulator tubes (single, twin, multi-bore), fish spine beads, ignition tubes, lead-through tubes for furnace passages, and custom insulator components.

Which material has the best dielectric properties?

High-purity alumina offers high dielectric strength with strong high-temperature performance. Boron nitride provides exceptional electrical insulation in extreme high-temperature service. Steatite is well-suited to general industrial electrical applications.

Can you supply glazed ignition tubes?

Yes. Ignition tubes are supplied straight or shaped, glazed or unglazed, and as components or pre-assembled units to suit your ignition system.

What multi-bore configurations are available?

Single, twin, 4, 6 and custom multi-bore configurations are available — supporting various conductor separation and high-voltage isolation requirements.

Can you supply lead-through tubes for vacuum furnaces?

Yes. Flanged ceramic lead-through tubes are available for furnace wall passages, supporting burners, cables and thermocouples in vacuum and atmospheric furnace systems.
