1. Overview of Granite Machine Component Applications
Granite machine components are made from natural granite stone that has been precisely processed and finished to provide a high-stability base for precision measurement and inspection. These components are ideal reference surfaces for inspecting instruments, precision tools, and machined parts. Granite surface plates and structural parts are widely used in industrial production and laboratories, particularly in applications requiring high-accuracy measurement.
Unlike metal materials, granite is non-magnetic, non-deformable, and unaffected by thermal or environmental changes. With a hardness 2–3 times higher than cast iron (equivalent to HRC > 51), granite offers superior wear resistance and long-term dimensional stability. Thanks to these exceptional properties, granite machine components outperform traditional cast iron counterparts in demanding precision environments.
2. Common Applications of Granite Machine Structures
Granite components are used in a wide range of industries, including but not limited to:
Precision engineering and machinery manufacturing – For inspection of critical dimensions and component flatness
Tool and gauge calibration workshops – Used as base platforms for calibrating precision measuring tools
Metrology laboratories – As stable and non-reactive platforms for high-accuracy measurement tasks
CMM bases and machine frames – Ideal for coordinate measuring machines and other precision instruments
Semiconductor and electronics manufacturing – Used in cleanroom environments due to non-corrosive and dust-resistant properties
Aerospace and aviation – Applied for large part alignment, precision assembly, and tolerance inspection
3. Material Advantages of Granite Components
Our granite components are typically made from Jinan Black Granite, known for its consistent dark color, fine grain, and high density. This material has become a preferred choice in metrology and machinery support structures due to its outstanding performance:
High corrosion resistance – Not affected by acid or alkali, making it suitable for harsh environments
No rust or oxidation – Unlike metals, granite requires no oiling or special coatings
Non-magnetic and thermally stable – Will not interfere with sensitive electronic instruments
Dust-repellent surface – Less prone to attracting fine particles
Easy to maintain – Simple to clean and capable of retaining precision for extended periods, even without frequent maintenance
Granite mechanical parts are also highly resistant to wear and deformation, making them an excellent long-term investment for companies that demand precision and stability in their operations.
If you're looking for a high-precision, low-maintenance, and durable solution for your inspection and measuring needs, granite machine components are a smart and cost-effective choice. Custom dimensions and configurations are available based on your application requirements.
