Quartz light guide rods by VY Optics

We have ability to customize all kinds of high precision quartz glass light guide rods. It can be accurate to 0.05mm tolerance and we can do chamfering, slotting and punching.

The polishing level of the surface fully meets the requirements of optical applications in high-tech fields. For ordinary size light guide rods, our price is also very competitive.

Fused Quartz Glass Features:

Fused quartz glass is a special industrial glass made of silicon dioxide. It is a very good basic material. Quartz glass has a series of excellent physical and chemical properties.

• High temperature resistance. The softening point of fused quartz glass is about 1730℃ and can be used for long time working under 1100℃~1250℃.  And working at 1450℃ in a short time.
   
• Corrosion resistance. In addition to hydrofluoric acid, fused quartz glass is inert to other acids. Its acid resistance is 30 times as ceramic, 150 times as stainless steel. Especially, any other material cannot make a comparison with chemical stability of fused quartz at high temperature
   
• The thermal stability is good. Thermal expansion coefficient is extremely small. And it can withstand severe temperature changes such that heating up to 1100℃ and putting it in normal temperature water will not crack.
   
• The light transmittance is good. Quartz glass has good transmittance in the whole spectral band from ultraviolet to infrared. The transmittance of the visible light is above 95%. Especially in the ultraviolet spectrum band and the maximum transmittance is over 85%.
   
• The electrical insulation performance is good. Resistance value of quartz glass equaling to 10000 times of ordinary glass. It is an excellent electrical insulating material and has good electrical properties even under high temperature.

What is the use of guide rod?
They are mainly used as linear guidance of ball and sliding bearings where sufficient lubracation and corrosion protection is ensured. Surface of these rods is not resistant to corrosion.
 

What is a guide rod?
A heavy drill rod coupled to and having the same diameter as a core barrel on which it is used. It gives additional rigidity to the core barrel and helps to prevent deflection of the borehole. Also called core-barrel rod; oversize rod.
