Ceramic Wound Fiberglass Tube
Ceramic wound fiberglass tube is a composite fuse tube with a ceramic inner liner and a glass-fiber/epoxy wound outer shell. It is designed for high-temperature and high-voltage fuse-link assemblies where the drawing requires ceramic insulation together with a reinforced composite wall. As a direct manufacturer and supplier, we provide Ceramic Wound Fiberglass Tube in made-to-drawing sizes with low minimum order quantities and fast sampling for both prototype and production runs.
Construction and customization
| Item | Typical configuration | Confirm before order |
|---|---|---|
| Inner liner | High-temperature electrical ceramic | Material grade, ID and liner length |
| Outer wall | Alkali-free glass fiber with epoxy resin, wound to the drawing | OD, wall build, winding angle and resin system |
| Machining | Cut-to-length, end finishing and drawing-based features | Tolerances, slots, holes and end interfaces |
| Validation | Electrical, thermal and mechanical properties depend on final design | Voltage, temperature, short-circuit duty and test method |
Engineering notes
- Use the ceramic liner to define the required high-temperature insulation interface.
- Size the wound glass/epoxy shell for the specified mechanical and environmental duty.
- Legacy brochure values are reference data only; confirm current values against the approved drawing and test plan.

Frequently asked questions
What is a ceramic wound fiberglass tube?
It is a fiberglass tube wound with ceramic-filled or ceramic-bearing material to improve arc resistance, track resistance and high-temperature performance.
Which applications use ceramic wound fiberglass tubing?
Typical uses include fuse bodies, arc chambers, heating elements and other parts exposed to arc, heat and tracking conditions.
Ceramic wound fiberglass tube: two materials, one production line
This is a ceramic liner with a wound fiberglass shell over it, which means two materials with different thermal expansion have to stay bonded through heat cycling. That interface is where field failures show up. We form the ceramic core and wind the glass-fiber/epoxy shell on one site, so interface quality and shell thickness are controlled by the same team that quotes the part.
- Direct plant pricing on ceramic wound fiberglass tube
- Trial quantities accepted while liner grade and shell thickness are chosen
- Ceramic-to-shell interface and shell wall held to the drawing
- ISO 9001 quality system covering liner forming, winding and cure
- SGS testing available on the composite build
- RoHS and REACH documents on request
Ceramic wound fiberglass tube: questions buyers raise
Do you accept small orders of ceramic wound fiberglass tube?
Prototype and trial quantities are accepted, so liner grade and shell thickness can be validated before production volume is committed.
What quality documentation is available for the ceramic composite?
An ISO 9001 quality system governs the build, SGS material testing can be arranged, and RoHS and REACH statements are provided on request.
How quickly is a ceramic tube enquiry answered?
Engineering returns a review within one working day; the priced quotation follows once grade, dimensions and operating temperature are confirmed.
