PSZ Blades
SANWA Components U.S.A., Inc. is pleased to announce the introduction of a new line of partially stabilized zirconia (PSZ) high precision ceramic blades. All of our PSZ ceramics provide superior density and bending strength characteristics, because of their exceptionally pure and highly dense raw ceramic materials. We also offer a specialized HIP type zirconia for use in areas where especially tough materials are required.
These ultra-sharp ceramic blades are available in various shapes and sizes specifically designed for many popular applications, as well as custom designs. Our high volume manufacturing capabilities, enables SANWA to produce high quality cutting tools at a reasonable price.
Some Characteristics and Advantages
:1. Low wear characteristics (Blades hold their edge up to 100 times longer than conventional steel).
2. Very low oxidation (rust) characteristics.
3. No electrical static discharge concerns.
4. No metal particle concerns.
5. Due to the non-magnetic properties inherent in ceramic, blades can be used in both magnetic and non-magnetic environments.
6. Extremely sharp cutting edge.
7. Blades can be used in high temperature environments.
8. Highest elasticity strength in the ceramic family.
9. Blades available in various dimensions.
Today's electronic manufacturing and cleanroom facilities have real concerns about high rejection rates caused by contamination. Our ceramic blades not only eliminate the possibility of metal contamination, but also pose no electro-static problems in electronic assembly operations as well. Further applications also exist in the plastic film, textile and medical areas.
