- Hardness: Brinell 95 (Soft)
- Temper: 1/4" and 3/8" thick.: T651
All other sizes: T6 - Fabrication: 1/4" and 3/8" thick.: Extruded
All other sizes: Cold Rolled - Specifications Met: ASTM B209
One side of these sheets and bars is polished to either a brushed finish or a mirror-like finish. The polished side is covered with a protective peel-off film. The most widely used aluminum, 6061 is fabricated into everything from pipe fittings and containers to automotive and aerospace parts. It is strong and corrosion resistant, plus it's easy to machine and weld.
Brushed sheets and bars are polished to a #4 satin finish with grain lines running in one direction to mask fingerprints.
Mirror-like sheets and bars are polished to a #8 reflective finish and are free of grain lines.

Linear Motion Shafts
Smooth, hard, and wear resistant, these shafts work with linear bearings to reduce friction in manual and automated systems, such as those found in packing, machine tool, and material handling operations. All are turned, ground, and polished to tight diameter and straightness tolerances.
Aluminum shafts are a lightweight, corrosion-resistant option for use with linear sleeve bearings. Because they have a soft core, they shouldn’t be used with linear ball bearings, which may dent the shaft. Both anodized aluminum and ceramic-coated aluminum have an ultra-hard coating for wear resistance. Ceramic-coated aluminum shafts are good for harsh environments, preventing welding spatter, molten glass, and paint from sticking.
Surface smoothness—The lower the microinch value, the smoother the finish and the less friction and wear it will cause on the bearing.

Support-Rail Shafts
These shafts include a support rail for a stable setup that eliminates bending and prevents linear bearings from rotating. Shafts have a smooth surface to reduce friction and wear on linear bearings—the lower the microinch value a shaft has, the smoother its finish and the less friction it will create. They are case-hardened to increase hardness and wear resistance on the surface of the shaft while allowing the center to remain soft for absorbing stresses caused by shifting loads. 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.
One-piece shafts reduce vibration and assembly time.
Ceramic-coated aluminum shafts are good for use in harsh environments; a 0.002" thick ceramic coating prevents weld spatter, molten glass, and paint from sticking to the shaft. They are lighter in weight than steel and stainless steel shafts. Because they have a soft core, they are not for use with linear ball bearings, which may dent the shaft.

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.
2024 aluminum shafts are lightweight, corrosion resistant, and nonmagnetic. They have a T4 temper, which means they have been heat treated for increased strength.
