Ceramic Technical ceramics comprise materials developed specifically for demanding industrial applications. At maxon, the focus is on oxide ceramics such as zirconium oxide and aluminum oxide. Zirconium oxide offers exceptional hardness, high wear resistance, and a den‑ sity comparable to steel—ideal for high‑precision gears, shafts, and spindles. Aluminum oxide is used primarily for insulation tasks and is available in various purity grades. The choice of material depends on requirements such as dielectric strength, surface quality, friction, or wear. Technical ceramics enable solutions that perform reliably even under extreme conditions and deliver maximum precision in applica‑ tions where conventional materials reach their limits.
