Precision micro sapphire rods serve a myriad of applications, featuring meticulously polished surfaces for optical clarity and durability or finely ground surfaces for insulation purposes. These rods are available in a range of outer diameters and lengths, with minimum ODs as small as 0.3mm. C-cut sapphire rods, known for reduced birefringence and exceptional mechanical properties, are particularly favored for applications such as continuum generation. Alternatively, R-cut or randomly oriented rods are also part of our diverse offerings.

Commonly employed in pumps, including HPLC piston/plunger rods, as well as in lamps, gaskets, insulators, and wear applications, our sapphire rods prove to be versatile and reliable.

Blue Box optics specializes in providing tailor-made micro sapphire rods with either polished surfaces or fine-ground finishes. Our product range includes cylindrical rods, sapphire tapered rods, and sapphire tips/needles, with the capability to manufacture micro sapphire rods as small as 0.3mm.

As an OEM custom micro sapphire rods supplier, we offer an extensive selection catering to various applications such as ram pumps, plunger rods, laser rangers, laser designators, insulators, and measuring rods. We can create custom shapes, such as both ends flat, one end radius, both end radii, saddle pins, and special shapes, to meet specific customer requirements.

The achievable specifications for our micro sapphire rods encompass a starting diameter of 0.3mm, lengths up to 600mm, and surface quality up to 40/20.

Blue Box optics takes pride in being a custom micro sapphire rods manufacturer, primarily producing according to customer specifications and requests. We invite you to reach out to us for a discussion about your custom micro sapphire rod needs and to receive a complimentary quote.

Micro sapphire rods are renowned for their outstanding chemical and plasma resistance, making them exceptionally well-suited for diverse applications.

The remarkable chemical resistance of sapphire rods, especially at elevated temperatures, positions them as excellent choices for applications in plasma chambers. Notably, only hot caustic salts possess the potential to etch sapphire rods, while other solvents, acids, and caustics have no impact on sapphire, including molten metals. This unique property ensures the safe handling and processing of chemicals within a chemically pure environment.

The chemical and bio-inert characteristics of sapphire rods make them ideal for critical applications in medical, pharmaceutical, semiconductor, and various industries where maintaining purity and health is of utmost importance.

Supported sapphire rods exhibit the ability to withstand temperatures up to 2000°C without significant alteration in shape and with minimal impact on mechanical performance. In high-temperature furnace systems, sapphire rods serve as excellent choices for rollers and standoffs, maintaining their straightness and dimensional precision up to 1800°C. Sapphire’s exceptional chemical resistance prevents many materials from adhering to it, even at elevated temperatures.

Sapphire rods hold the highest temperature rating among all optical materials, preserving their integrity in both oxidizing and inert atmospheres.
