Combine with a machine key to transmit torque to gears, sprockets, and other power transmission components.

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.

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.

These shafts include a support rail for a stable setup that eliminates bending and prevents linear bearings from rotating.

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.

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

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.

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

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

More corrosion resistant and easier to form than multipurpose 6061 aluminum, 6063 is primarily used for exterior railings, decorative trim, and door frames.

Ready for turning in a lathe, these rods are precision ground and held to a strict straightness tolerance.

While 2024 aluminum was initially designed for structural components in aircraft, it's now widely used when a high strength-to-weight ratio is needed, such as for gears, shafts, and fasteners. It offers similar performance to 7075 aluminum, but it’s not as strong.

2011 has the best machinability of all the aluminum alloys. It is the most selected aluminum for screws, tube fittings, hose parts, and other items that require extensive machining.

This wire has a soft temper and will stay in place when bent.

These tubes are sized so that each tube fits into the next larger size.

Use these metal dowel pins as pivots, hinges, shafts, jigs, and fixtures to locate or hold parts.

Designed for use with right-hand, internally threaded rod ends, these rods have right-hand threads on both ends. Use them for remote valve operators, throttle controllers, shifting mechanisms, and virtually any push/pull assembly.

Similar to turnbuckles, these rods have right-hand threads on one end and left-hand threads on the other so you can make a linkage that adjusts for tension. Add right- and left-hand threaded rod ends to build your linkages.
