Create a support that fits the exact dimensions of your shaft to brace it along a flat surface. Good for use with square- and hex-profile shafts, these aluminum supports also work with round shafts of any diameter up to 1". Use them for light-to-medium-load linear motion applications where shaft alignment is not critical.

These shaft supports hold linear shafts perpendicular to the mounting surface.

Replace worn shafts in two-piece support-rail shaft systems, or mate with a support rail to create your own. The tapped mounting holes match those on our Support Rails.

At approximately one-third the height of standard versions, these rails provide linear shaft support in applications with low vertical clearance. They provide stability over the entire length of shaft, allow virtually unlimited travel lengths, and eliminate bending under moderate to heavy loads.
