About Shafts
More
Rotary Shafts

Combine these general purpose drive shafts with gears, sprockets, and bearings to transmit rotary motion. All are precision ground to meet tight diameter and straightness tolerances.
Steel shafts are generally stronger than stainless steel shafts but not as corrosion resistant. 12L14 carbon steel shafts have a lead additive that makes them easier to machine than any other rotary shaft but also more prone to wear. Stainless steel shafts are more corrosion resistant than steel shafts but also more difficult to machine. 303 and 440C stainless steel shafts have good corrosion resistance. 316 stainless steel shafts have excellent corrosion resistance.
Shafts with chamfered edges have their edges ground to reduce damage to bearings, housings, and other components during installation.
