Thread-Mount Idler Rotary Shafts


Thread these shafts into a tapped hole to support idler sprockets and pulleys in tensioning applications. They have a retaining-ring groove, retaining ring, and spacers to position your component and hold it in place.

Tapped D-Profile Rotary Shafts


Connect these internally threaded shafts directly to threaded components, or use a fastener to secure. They have a flat surface area that allows set screws to dig into the shaft for securely mounting gears, sprockets, and bearings. Shafts are 1045 carbon steel, a general purpose shafting material that balances high strength and good machinability. 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 meet tight diameter and straightness tolerances.

Threaded Rotary Shafts


Attach threaded accessories, such as mixer propellers and fan blades, to the end of these shafts. 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. Made of carbon steel, these shafts balance high strength and good machinability, making them ideal for general purpose use.

Hollow Threaded Studs

A hollow center allows these studs to be used as an axle, a vent, or a passageway for wiring. Made from 18-8 stainless, they have good chemical resistance and may be mildly magnetic. Thread length is the same on both ends.
