Grooves on the surface of these shafts transmit rotary power while allowing bearings to move freely along the length of the shaft. The edges are chamfered to remove sharp corners, reducing damage to bearings, housings, and other components during installation. All are turned, ground, and polished to tight diameter and straightness tolerances.

Six Splines

Large, evenly spaced splines transmit high-torque loads, such as those found in hydraulic systems, drivetrains, and machine tools. These shafts work with plain bearings, which means they're not meant for high-speed positioning applications. Made of 1045 carbon steel, they're strong but also machinable, so you can modify the ends to fit into your mounting fixtures. All meet ISO 14-B (formerly DIN 5463-B) to ensure they work with bearings that meet ISO 14-A.
