    Tight-Tolerance Oil-Hardening O1 Tool Steel Rods

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Steel. Tight-Tolerance Oil-Hardening O1 Tool Steel Rods.
    Ready for turning in a lathe, these rods are precision ground to a tight diameter tolerance. They’re also known as drill rod. Often used for dies, punches, and gauges, O1 tool steel is an oil-hardening material that resists wear and abrasion. It can also be surface hardened with heat treating for added wear resistance.

    Linear Shafts

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Linear Shafts.
    Pair with linear bearings and shaft supports to create smooth, precise motion. These linear shafts are turned, ground, and polished to tight tolerances and hardened to resist wear.
    Steel—Stronger than aluminum and stainless steel. These shafts are best for dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.
    Surface Smoothness—The lower the microinch value, the smoother the finish and the less friction it will cause on the bearing.

    Ultra-High-Temperature Quartz Glass Rods and Discs

    Able to withstand temperatures up to 2100° F, this quartz glass is useful in high-temperature applications that also require optical clarity, such as high-intensity lighting, fiber-optic production, and optical lens systems. It provides excellent UV transmission, as well as high transmission in the visible and infrared ranges.
