1117 carbon steel responds to surface-hardening heat treatment better than other easy-to-machine carbon steels. Use it to fabricate shaft couplings, studs, pins, and universal joints.

This steel is nitrided, which involves the absorption of nitrogen, providing a corrosion-resistant surface that won’t flake or chip. It is comparable to NitroSteel.

The same steel used in automobile bodies, this AHSS (advanced high-strength steel) allows you to fabricate high-strength parts using thinner material than you could with other types of steel. It is formable, weldable, and more economical than alloy steel.

A chrome plating on these rods increases their corrosion resistance. They're also hardened, which makes them more resistant to impacts and abrasion.

Also known as chrome-moly steel, this versatile alloy steel is used for a wide range of parts, such as gears, axles, shafts, collets, and die holders. It resists fracturing from repeated stress.

Often called ETD-150, these rods are made from a modified version of 4140 alloy steel and have been drawn at high temperatures for excellent strength.

Made from 4130 alloy steel, also known as chrome-moly steel, these rods have low carbon content for good weldability. They’re often used to make gears and bushings.

Use for power transmission and structural applications that involve extreme impact, heat, and wear.

Also known as chrome steel, 52100 is an extremely hard and wear-resistant material. This wire is often used for small-diameter bearings, bushings, and punches.

A modified version of 4340 alloy steel, this 300M alloy steel combines high yield strength with extreme resistance to cracking. It’s often used to create parts that require both, such as torsion bars and drive shafts.

The addition of lead gives 41L40 the best machinability of all the alloy steel we offer.

Higher levels of carbon and chromium make this 4150 alloy steel more wear-resistant than 4820 alloy steel. Also known as chrome-moly steel, it’s often used for gears, shafts, and ball screws.

Often used for gears, bushings, and pins, this 4820 alloy steel resists wear from friction and abrasion.

Gray cast iron machines faster with less wear on cutting tools than most types of steel. It's often fabricated into gears, pulleys, rollers, and bushings.

Containing more pearlite and less ferrite, these cast iron rods are stronger and harder than standard ductile cast iron.

This wire is coated with oil for corrosion resistance and lubricity. Use it for bundling and as tag wire.

Always have the right size wire on hand with a 72-piece assortment.

These rod sets are supplied in a metal index case with fold-out panels.

Ready for turning in a lathe, these precision-ground rods have a tight diameter tolerance and are held to a strict straightness tolerance.

Also known as cobalt steel, this M42 tool steel maintains its hardness in high-speed cutting applications that generate intense heat. Use it to make tools for cutting extremely hard materials.

Precision ground and held to a strict straightness tolerance, these rods are ready for turning in your lathe.

Hardened for increased abrasion and impact resistance, these rods are precision ground with a tight diameter tolerance.

An oversized diameter allows for finishing to your exact requirements.

Made with lower amounts of alloy elements than other tool steels, these W1 rods are highly machinable. Also called drill rods, they are precision ground and held to strict diameter and straightness tolerances.

The diameter on these rods is precision ground while the straightness is held to a strict tolerance, so they're ready for turning in a lathe.

An oversized diameter on these rods allows for finishing to your exact requirements.

Three times more wear resistant than your standard D2 tool steel. Also known as PSB27 steel, this tool steel is spray-formed for enhanced toughness that makes it ideal for stamps, cutting blades, and forming dies.

An oversized diameter allows for finishing to your exact requirements.

Eight times straighter than standard rotary shafts, these tight-tolerance shafts minimize vibrations and reduce wear to bearings and other components. They also have diameter tolerances that are twice as tight as standard rotary shafts.

These shafts have keyways only on the ends, leaving a plain shaft in the center. Use the keyways with machine keys to transmit torque to gears, sprockets, and other keyed components. Use the middle of the shaft with bearings and other round-bore components.

A shoulder near the end of the shaft provides a stop for gears, sprockets, and bearings.

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

Attach threaded accessories, such as mixer propellers and fan blades, to the end of these shafts.

A flat surface area allows set screws to dig into the shaft for securely mounting gears, sprockets, and bearings.

Mount these externally threaded shafts into tapped holes rather than using a shaft support, or attach a hex nut, shaft collar, or other threaded accessory.

Lighter than solid shafts, hollow shafts reduce your total system weight and allow you to run various media such as electrical wiring, compressed air tubing, coolants, or lubricants through the center.

For your compliance and quality assurance needs, these shafts come with a material certificate with a traceable lot number.

For a snug fit with a linear bearing in high-precision applications, these shafts are turned, ground, and polished to tight diameter and straightness tolerances.

These shafts include a support rail for a stable setup that eliminates bending and prevents linear bearings from rotating.

Fittings come in two pieces to wrap around rails, so you can quickly modify existing structures without disassembling. Use clamp-on framing and fittings to form temporary partitions, modular conveyors, and workstations.

Keep personnel safe from protruding rebar and pipe. Made of rigid plastic, these durable safety caps are bright orange or yellow for excellent visibility.
