Step-Down Rotary Shafts

A shoulder acts as a stop for gears, sprockets, and bearings as well as components with smaller bore sizes. No need to machine these rotary shafts or install a shaft collar. Turned, ground, and polished to tight tolerances, they reduce vibration, evenly distribute loads, and improve accuracy.

Step-Down on One End

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.
