Alumina Ceramic Thermocouple Insulators | High Temperature Ceramic Beads & Tubes for Thermocouples

Alumina ceramic thermocouple insulators keep the two thermocouple wires separated and precisely positioned while withstanding the full temperature of the measuring point. Made from 99% high purity alumina with hole positions and diameters ground to +/-0.01 mm, they protect signal integrity without softening, shrinking or contaminating the junction.

Standard ceramic insulators are extruded beads. Ours are ground from solid sintered alumina, which makes multi-hole patterns, offset bores, flanges, notches and miniature geometries possible - features extrusion simply cannot produce. Parts only a few millimetres across with sub-millimetre bores are routine for our micro-machining cell.

Key properties: stable to 1600C; minimum bore from 0.3 mm with +/-0.01 mm position tolerance on ground features; volume resistivity >10^14 ohm-cm preventing signal leakage between the two legs; chemically inert to Pt/Rh, NiCr and NiSi wires; coefficient of thermal expansion 7.5-8.0 x10^-6/K matching common temperature assemblies.

Typical applications: thermocouples for industrial furnaces, kilns and heat treatment; temperature sensors in semiconductor and photovoltaic equipment; vacuum and inert atmosphere heating systems; laboratory and calibration instruments; battery and new energy production lines. Suitable for K, S, R, B and N type thermocouples.

Custom manufacturing: send us the wire diameter and spacing and we will match the hole pattern. Prototypes from 1 piece, 7-15 days. Established in 2006, ISO 9001 certified, RoHS 2.0 compliant.

Alumina Ceramic Thermocouple Insulators | High Temperature Beads & Tubes

Custom non-standard alumina (Al2O3) ceramic part · CNC precision machining · OEM / ODM · Hero Ceramic by Haorui Industrial

Product Overview

This miniature thermocouple insulating part is machined from 99% high-purity alumina with hole positions and diameters controlled to ±0.01 mm. It keeps the two thermocouple wires separated and positioned while surviving the full temperature of the measurement point — no softening, no shrinkage, no contamination of the signal.

Standard ceramic thermocouple insulators are extruded beads; ours are ground from solid alumina, so multi-hole patterns, offset bores, flanges, notches and miniature features that extrusion cannot produce are all possible. Parts down to a few millimetres with sub-millimetre holes are routine for our micro-machining cell.

Key Features

1600°C stable99% Al2O3 keeps insulation resistance high even at the hot junction.

Custom Machining (OEM / ODM)

Haorui Industrial has machined non-standard advanced ceramics since 2006 (ISO 9001). Send us a 2D drawing (PDF/DWG) or a sample: we quote with tolerance and material recommendation, produce 1–10 piece prototypes in 7–15 days, and keep the process data for repeat batches. Materials available: 95% / 99% / 99.5% Al2O3, ZrO2, Si3N4, SiC, AlN, macor.

FAQ

Which thermocouple types is this part suitable for?

Any pair that fits the bore — K, S, R, B, N types. Tell us the wire diameter and spacing and we will match the hole pattern.

Can you make it smaller than standard beads?

Yes. We grind parts a few millimetres across with Ø0.3–0.5 mm holes; send the drawing for a feasibility check.

Do you offer 95% alumina as a cheaper option?

Yes. 95% Al2O3 lowers cost slightly with a small reduction in max temperature and insulation resistance; 99% is recommended above 1500°C.

Certifications & Trade Shows

Quality you can verify: Haorui Industrial operates an ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system (scope: precision mechanical ceramics parts), and our alumina and zirconia ceramics are RoHS 2.0 compliant — tested per IEC 62321 by an accredited third-party laboratory. We exhibit every year at CIOE (China International Optoelectronic Exposition) and semiconductor industry expositions in Shenzhen — meet us at our booth to see the parts in person.
