    Rotary Shafts

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Rotary Shafts.
    Pair with gears, sprockets, and bearings to transmit rotary motion. Turned, ground, and polished to tight tolerances, these shafts reduce vibration, evenly distribute loads, and improve accuracy.
    Carbon Steel—Strong and easy to machine. These shafts work best in dry environments since moisture will cause steel to rust.

    Keyed Rotary Shafts

    Match with a machine key to prevent slipping while transmitting torque to gears and other components. Turned, ground, and polished to tight tolerances, these shafts reduce vibration, evenly distribute loads, and improve accuracy.

    Mount components anywhere along the length of these shafts. For secure torque transmission, slide a component from either end and lock it into place with an ANSI machine key (sold separately).
    Carbon Steel—Strong and easy to machine. These shafts work best in dry environments since moisture will cause steel to rust.
    Corrosion-Resistant 304 Stainless Steel—Withstand moisture and mild cleaning solutions, such as acetone and ammonia. However, these shafts are more difficult to machine than carbon steel shafts.
    Highly Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel—More corrosion resistant than 303 and 304 stainless steel shafts. They stand up to salt water and harsh chemicals, such as bleach, chlorine, and phosphoric acid.

    These shafts combine keyed ends with a plain center for versatile assembly. The keyways on the ends lock with the included ANSI machine keys to transmit torque to components such as gears and sprockets. The plain center fits bearings and other round-bore parts.
    Carbon Steel—Strong and easy to machine. These shafts work best in dry environments since moisture will cause steel to rust.
