About Aluminum

Multipurpose 6061 Aluminum Rods and Discs

The most widely used aluminum, 6061 is fabricated into everything from pipe fittings and containers to automotive and aerospace parts. It is strong and corrosion resistant, plus it's easy to machine and weld.

Tight-Tolerance Multipurpose
6061 Aluminum Rods and Discs

These rods and discs are precision ground to offer tighter tolerances than standard 6061 rods and discs.

Polished Multipurpose 6061 Aluminum Rods

Choose between rods that are polished to a brushed finish or a mirror-like finish.

Anodized Multipurpose 6061 Aluminum Rods

An anodized coating forms a bond with the aluminum surface to improve wear and corrosion resistance.

Chrome-Plated Multipurpose 6061 Aluminum Rods

The matte plating on these rods, sometimes called industrial chrome and hard chrome, creates a slippery surface that minimizes galling and prevents parts from seizing.

Multipurpose 6061 Aluminum Round Tubes

Polished Multipurpose 6061 Aluminum Round Tubes

Polished on the outside to a #8 reflective, mirror-like finish, these tubes have no visible grain lines.

Anodized Multipurpose 6061 Aluminum Round Tubes

An anodized coating forms a bond to the inside, outside, and ends of these tubes to improve wear and corrosion resistance.

Multipurpose 6061 Aluminum Hex Bars

Anodized Multipurpose 6061 Aluminum Hex Bars

A hard-anodized coating forms a bond with the aluminum surface to improve wear and corrosion resistance.

Multipurpose 6061 Aluminum Sheets and Bars

Tight-Tolerance Multipurpose
6061 Aluminum Sheets and Bars

These sheets and bars are precision ground either on all six sides or just on the top and bottom.

Anodized Multipurpose 6061 Aluminum Sheets and Bars

An anodized coating bonds to the aluminum surface to improve wear and corrosion resistance.

Oversized Multipurpose 6061 Aluminum Sheets

The thickness is oversized to allow for finishing to exact requirements.

Polished Multipurpose 6061 Aluminum Sheets and Bars

One side of these sheets and bars is polished to either a brushed finish or a mirror-like finish.

Multipurpose 6061 Aluminum Half-Round Bars

Multipurpose 6061 Aluminum Rectangular Tubes

Multipurpose 6061 Aluminum 90° Angles

Anodized Multipurpose 6061 Aluminum 90° Angles

An anodized coating forms a bond with the aluminum surface to improve wear and corrosion resistance.

Polished Multipurpose 6061 Aluminum 90° Angles

The outside of these 90° angles is polished to either a brushed finish or a mirror-like finish.

Multipurpose 6061 Aluminum Hex Tubes

Multipurpose 6061 Aluminum U-Channels

Multipurpose 6061 Aluminum T-Bars

Multipurpose 6061 Aluminum Z-Bars

Multipurpose 6061 Aluminum I-Beams

Also known as American Standard I-Beams, these I-beams have rounded corners.

Linear Motion Shafts

Combine these general purpose shafts with a linear bearing and shaft support to create a basic linear motion system.

Support Rails

Position shafts an inch or two off the ground to maintain bearing and part clearance. Support rails provide stability over the entire length of shaft, allowing virtually unlimited travel lengths and eliminating bending under moderate to heavy loads.

Easy-Access Base-Mounted Shaft Supports

These two-piece supports allow access to the shaft without needing to slide out the shaft or uninstall the support. Use them to brace the end of a linear shaft when working with light to medium loads where shaft alignment is not critical. Tighten the included clamping screws to secure.

Machinable Easy-Access Base-Mounted Shaft Supports

Create a support that fits the exact dimensions of your shaft. Good for use with square- and hex-profile shafts, these aluminum supports also work with round shafts of any diameter up to 1". Use them for light-to-medium-load linear motion applications where shaft alignment is not critical.

Fasteners

Aluminum Threaded Rods

One-third the weight of steel, aluminum threaded rods resist corrosion in wet environments.

Aluminum Coupling Nuts

One-third the weight of steel, aluminum coupling nuts resist corrosion in wet environments.

Aluminum Pipe and Pipe Fittings

Standard-Wall Aluminum
Threaded Pipe Nipples and Pipe

Typically used with low-pressure aluminum threaded pipe fittings.

Thick-Wall Aluminum Threaded Pipe Nipples and Pipe

Typically used with high-pressure aluminum threaded pipe fittings.

Standard-Wall Aluminum
Unthreaded Pipe Nipples and Pipe

Typically used with standard-wall aluminum unthreaded pipe fittings.
