Also known as blue-tempered steel.

5160 alloy steel handles repeated cycles of stress without breaking just like spring steel. It’s often used to make flat springs.

These sheets have a softened temper, which is also known as annealed, so they can be easily formed into shape and then heat treated for spring properties.

Also known as music wire.

The addition of molybdenum gives 316 stainless steel excellent corrosion resistance. Use it in a variety of marine and chemical-processing applications.

Cut this stock to length to create the machine key you need. Straight keys, with a square or rectangular cross section, are the most common type of key. Install in a keyway to transmit torque from shafts to gears and other components.

Straight keys, with a square or rectangular cross section, are the most common type of key. Install them in keyways to transmit torque from shafts to gears and other components.

Since they fit more loosely than standard keys, these undersized keys are best for uneven keyways or when you need to disassemble parts frequently, such as during maintenance or prototyping.

Cut keys to custom lengths. This key stock is undersized, so keys will fit slightly more loosely than standard keys and are best for inconsistent keyways.

Combine these general purpose shafts with a linear bearing and shaft support to create a basic linear motion system.

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

Internal threads allow you to mount these shafts onto threaded studs and fasteners, no shaft supports needed.

Keep a material certificate on hand for compliance and quality assurance needs. Certificates include a traceable lot number and material test report. These hollow shafts reduce system weight and allow you to run various media such as electrical wiring, compressed air tubing, coolants, or lubricants through the center.

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.
