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

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

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

The thickness, length, and width are oversized for finishing to your exact requirements.

Hardened for increased abrasion and impact resistance, these rods are precision ground with a tight diameter tolerance.

With an oversized thickness, length, and width, these bars can be finished to your exact requirements.

Hardened for increased abrasion and impact resistance, these precision-ground rods have a tight diameter tolerance and are ready for turning in your lathe.

The thickness, length, and width are oversized for finishing to your exact requirements.

These rods, also known as drill blanks, have an undersized diameter for machining your own jobbers'-length drill bits.

Also known as reamer blanks, these rods are hardened for increased abrasion and impact resistance.

These bars are precision ground to a tight thickness tolerance.

Also known as cobalt steel, this M42 tool steel maintains its hardness in high-speed cutting applications that generate intense heat. Use it to make tools for cutting extremely hard materials.

The thickness on these bars is precision ground to a tight tolerance.

Oversized for finishing to your exact requirements.

This material has tighter tolerances than standard 303 stainless steel.

With a diameter that’s held to a close tolerance, this material is hardened for increased wear and abrasion resistance.

Precision ground on the top and bottom to a tight tolerance.

Hardened for superior wear resistance, these rods are precision ground to a tight diameter tolerance so they’re ready for turning in a lathe.

Each piece is precision ground to offer tighter tolerances than standard 17-4 PH stainless steel.

Also known as Project 70+, this material machines faster with less wear on cutting tools than standard 17-4 PH stainless steel.

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.

In addition to diameter tolerances that are twice as tight as standard keyed shafts, these shafts include a traceable lot number and test report. Use them with machine keys to transmit torque to gears, sprockets, and other power transmission components.

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

A flat surface area allows set screws to dig into the shaft for securely mounting 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.

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

Internal threads allow you to mount these shafts onto threaded studs and fasteners, no shaft supports needed.

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.

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.

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

Replace worn shafts in two-piece support-rail shaft systems, or mate with a support rail to create your own. The tapped mounting holes match those on our Support Rails.
