With a thickness that's precision ground to a tight tolerance, these bars are sometimes called flat stock.

These sheets and bars are zinc galvanized for good corrosion resistance.

Coated with an aluminum-silicon alloy, these sheets resist corrosion while withstanding long-term exposure to high temperatures. Use in drying ovens, furnaces, and smokestacks.

A silver-filled resin coating on one side of these sheets protects from degradation caused by bacteria and fungi.

Also known as mild steel, low-carbon steel is easy to machine, form, and weld. It's widely fabricated into parts that don’t require high strength.

The matte plating on these rods increases corrosion resistance and wear resistance.

Also known as mild steel, low-carbon steel is easy to machine, form, and weld. It's widely fabricated into parts that don’t require high strength.

Made of stiff low-carbon steel to deflect less under load, these H-bars are commonly used in machine bases, construction, platforms, and frames.

Also known as black-annealed wire.

This wire is zinc galvanized for good corrosion resistance.

The lead additive acts as a lubricant, which allows 12L14 carbon steel to withstand very fast machining. It's used to fabricate a wide variety of machine parts.

A lead-free alternative to 12L14, 1215 carbon steel contains the same amount of sulfur and phosphorus for excellent machinability. It is often used for shaft couplings, studs, and pins.

Precision ground and held to a strict tightness tolerance, these rods are ready for turning in a lathe.

These rods are precision ground and held to a strict straightness tolerance, so they're all set for turning applications in your lathe.

1117 carbon steel responds to surface-hardening heat treatment better than other easy-to-machine carbon steels. Use it to fabricate shaft couplings, studs, pins, and universal joints.

Stronger than low-carbon steel with equally good machinability, 1045 carbon steel is widely used for bolts, studs, and shafts.

This UHSS (ultra high-strength steel) allows you to fabricate high-strength parts using thinner material than you could with other types of steel. It is formable, weldable, and more economical than alloy steel.

These sheets have a softened temper, which is also known as annealed, so they can be easily formed into shape and then heat treated for spring properties.

Also known as music wire.

Mount these externally threaded shafts into tapped holes rather than using a shaft support, or attach a hex nut, shaft collar, or other threaded accessory.

Keep a material certificate on hand for compliance and quality assurance needs. Certificates include a traceable lot number and material test report. These hollow shafts reduce system weight and allow you to run various media such as electrical wiring, compressed air tubing, coolants, or lubricants through the center.

Clip retaining rings into the grooves to separate and position collars, supports, and housings.

A shoulder near the end of the shaft allows for easy positioning of housings, shaft supports, and collars.

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

Eight times straighter than standard rotary shafts, these tight-tolerance shafts minimize vibrations and reduce wear to bearings and other components. They also have diameter tolerances that are twice as tight as standard rotary shafts.

These shafts have keyways only on the ends, leaving a plain shaft in the center. Use the keyways with machine keys to transmit torque to gears, sprockets, and other keyed components. Use the middle of the shaft with bearings and other round-bore components.

Connect these internally threaded shafts directly to threaded components, or use a fastener to secure.

Connect these internally threaded shafts directly to threaded components, or use a fastener to secure. They have a flat surface area that allows set screws to dig into the shaft for securely mounting gears, sprockets, and bearings.

Mount the flange to a machine or wall to support idler sprockets and pulleys in tensioning applications. They include washers and a nut to position your component and hold it in place.

A shoulder near the end of the shaft provides a stop for gears, sprockets, and bearings.

With a splined profile on one end, these shafts transmit high rotational loads—good for hydraulic systems, machine tools, and other high-torque applications. Compared to keyed shafts, they last longer, handle higher torque, and do not require as tight of a fit.

Create strong structures by welding this framing together. Add metal panels to close off openings.

When a keyway is damaged, cut a new, wider one. This key stock is stepped to match repaired keyways in shafts or gears. Cut it to length to create the machine key you need.

Make a key that is the exact length you need. Slightly larger than the size listed, these oversized keys offer a tight fit in worn keyways.

These tools come with carbide inserts installed. When one edge of the insert dulls, rotate it to use a sharp edge.

Designed for use with right-hand, externally 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.
