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.

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

Coated with PVC for corrosion resistance, this carbon steel wire will stand up to outdoor use.

Also known as black-annealed wire.

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.

Always have the right size wire on hand with a 72-piece assortment.

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

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.

With 2" of each end softened, it's easier to machine a custom end for mounting. The rest of the shaft is case-hardened, which increases hardness and wear resistance on the surface of the shaft while allowing the center to remain soft for absorbing stresses caused by shifting loads.

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.

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.

A flat surface area allows set screws to dig into the shaft for securely mounting gears, sprockets, and bearings.

Attach threaded accessories, such as mixer propellers and fan blades, to the end of these shafts.

Thread these shafts into a tapped hole to support idler sprockets and pulleys in tensioning applications. They have a retaining-ring groove, retaining ring, and spacers to position your component and hold it in place.

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.

Clip retaining rings into the grooves to separate and position gears, sprockets, and bearings.

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.

When installed, these keys fill oval keyways completely, reducing stress on the key and shaft. The rounded ends make it easy to slide gears, hubs, and other components into place. These are also known as feather keys.

Also known as offset key stock, use step keys to repair keyways in gears and shafts.

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.
