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.

Corrosion-Resistant 303 Stainless Steel—Withstand moisture and mild cleaning solutions, such as acetone and ammonia. These shafts are easier to machine than other stainless 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.

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.

Thread-Mount Idler Rotary Shafts


Retaining-Ring-Grooves End	Retaining-Ring-Grooves End

Thread these shafts into a tapped hole to support idler sprockets and pulleys in tensioning applications.

Retaining-Ring-Grooves End—Shafts with retaining ring grooves come with a retaining ring and spacers to position your component and hold it in place.

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.

Fully Keyed

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.
