About Shafts

Combine these general purpose drive shafts with gears, sprockets, and bearings to transmit rotary motion. All are turned, precision ground, and polished to meet tight diameter and straightness tolerances. This means these shafts evenly distribute loads, reduce vibration, and improve accuracy and stability.

Steel shafts are generally stronger than stainless steel shafts but not as corrosion resistant. Carbon steel shafts balance high strength and good machinability, making them ideal for general purpose use. Alloy steel shafts are good for high-stress applications. They are stronger than carbon steel and hardened for increased wear resistance; however, they are more difficult to machine.

Stainless steel shafts are more corrosion resistant than steel shafts but more difficult to machine. 303 stainless steel shafts have good corrosion resistance and are easier to machine than other types of stainless steel. 316 stainless steel shafts are the most corrosion resistant stainless steel shaft.

Shafts with chamfered edges reduce damage to bearings, housings, and other components during installation.

Keyed Rotary Shafts

Combine these shafts with a machine key (not included) to transmit torque to gears, sprockets, and other power transmission components. All have an ANSI standard keyway (keys not included; see our selection of key stock). Their edges are chamfered to remove sharp corners, reducing damage to bearings, housings, and other components during installation. All are turned, ground, or polished to tight diameter and straightness tolerances.

Steel shafts are generally stronger than aluminum and stainless steel shafts but not as corrosion resistant. 1045 carbon steel shafts balance high strength and good machinability, making them ideal for general purpose use.

Stainless steel shafts are more corrosion resistant than steel shafts but also more difficult to machine. 304 stainless steel shafts have good corrosion resistance.

D-Profile Rotary Shafts

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

1045 carbon steel shafts balance high strength and good machinability, making them ideal for general purpose use. They are stronger than aluminum and stainless steel shafts but not as corrosion resistant.

Undersized Rotary Shafts

The diameter of these shafts is slightly smaller than listed, so precision ball bearings (ABEC-3 and above) slide on without any tools. This saves you from having to use a bearing heater or mechanical press, which can cause damage. These rotary shafts are also known as drive shafts because they’re frequently used with a motor to drive power transmission applications. All are turned, ground, and polished to tight diameter and straightness tolerances. This allows them to evenly distribute loads, reduce vibration, and improve accuracy and stability. They’re stainless steel, so they resist corrosion. All have chamfered edges to remove sharp corners, reducing damage to bearings, housings, and other components during installation.

Ball Screw/Splines and Bearings

From one compact system, transmit linear or rotary motion or both at once (sometimes called spiral motion). Because of these different motions, these ball screw/splines and bearings create efficient, fluid movements in complex automated applications, such as pick-and-place robots.

The ball bearings move smoothly and precisely, even at high speeds. They're powered independently, so you can drive one bearing at a time or both together to coordinate movements.

The ball screw/splines are hardened on the surface, so they stand up to repeated motion. They’re also hollow, so you can run electrical wiring, compressed air tubing, coolants, or lubricant through their center.

Ball Splines and Bearings

Create a compact linear and rotary motion system for applications requiring complex, fast movements, such as robotics. The grooves on the ball splines transmit rotary power as ball bearings move smoothly and precisely along their length, even at high speeds.

Ball splines are alloy steel for high strength and wear resistance. They're hardened on the outside for additional wear resistance while the center is soft enough to absorb stress from shifting loads.

Bearings have a retaining ring groove, so they can be positioned in your system with a retaining ring (not included). Bearings with a keyway include a machine key for attaching your load. Flanged bearings have a surface with mounting holes for attaching your load.
