  Rods out of Sapphire are widely used in medical devices, accurate machine and inspection instruments, due to its exceptional properties of high hardness, high strength, scratch resistance, high temperature resistance, purity, chemical durability and superior radiation stability.
Sapphire rod is perfect material for high temperature application with no change to its shape and dimension because of its extreme High Softening Point over 2000°C. 
Sapphire rod is chemically inert and resistant to attack from most processing environments, such as Acid and Alkalis at temperatures up to ~1,000 °C.
Sapphire rod is bio-inert. It is the ideal material for bio-engineering, dental and medical bone implants.
Sapphire rod is suitablel for rod bearing application due to its strong wear and abrasion resistance.
HYT Sapphire Optics offers a full range of Sapphire rods to meet a wide variety of applications including Ram pump, Plunger rods, Laser ranger, Laser designator, Insulators and Measuring rods.
Our custom shapes for sapphire rods include both ends flat, one end radius, both ends radius, saddle pins and special shapes as per customer's requirements.
Our achievable specifications for sapphire rods are: diameter start at 0.40mm, length up to 600mm, surface quality up to 40/20, and surface roughness RZ0.05.
