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

The chrome plating on these rods increases corrosion resistance.

Also known as chrome-moly steel, this versatile 4140 alloy steel is used for a wide range of parts, such as axles, shafts, collets, and die holders. It resists fracturing from repeated stress.

4130 alloy steel has a low carbon content that provides good weldability. It's often used for gears, fasteners, and structural applications.

Also known as chrome steel, 52100 is an extremely hard and wear-resistant material. These balls are often used in bearings.

Easier to machine than 52100 alloy steel rods, these extremely hard and wear-resistant tubes are often used to create bearings, bushings, and other cylindrical parts that are under constant stress. They’re also known as chrome steel.

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

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

Often used for gears, shafts, and ball screws, 4150 alloy steel resists wear from friction and abrasion.

A vacuum arc remelting (VAR) casting process gives 9310 superior strength, hardness, and fatigue resistance over other types of alloy steel. It's often machined into heavy duty gears, clutch parts, and ratchets.

These rods are precision ground and held to a strict straightness tolerance, so they're ready for turning in a lathe.

The matte plating on these rods increases corrosion resistance and wear resistance.

Also known as mild steel, use these low-carbon steel balls in parts that don't require high strength.

Coated with PVC for corrosion resistance, this carbon steel wire will stand up to outdoor use.

These rods are precision ground and held to a strict straightness tolerance, so they're all set for turning applications in your lathe.

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

A lead-free alternative to 12L14, 1215 carbon steel contains the same amount of sulfur and phosphorus for excellent machinability. It is often used for shaft couplings, studs, and pins.

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.

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

This material is precision ground to offer tighter tolerances than standard 316 stainless steel.

Bend this wire and it will stay in place. It's widely used as tying and locking wire.

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

An oversized diameter allows for finishing to your exact requirements.

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.

Ready for turning in a lathe, these rods are precision ground to a tight diameter tolerance.

Hardened for increased abrasion and impact resistance, these precision-ground rods have a tight diameter tolerance and are ready for turning in your lathe.

An oversized diameter allows for finishing to your exact requirements.

Ground and held to strict diameter and straightness tolerances, these rods are ready to be turned in a lathe.

All set for turning in your lathe, these precision-ground rods are held to a strict straightness tolerance.

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.

Furnished hardened, P20 tool steel is strong and easy to machine. It has the wear resistance and highly polishable surface needed to fabricate long-lasting molds and dies.

Resistant to wear, abrasion, and chipping, A11 is a hard material that is often made into punches and stamping tools.

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.

Mount the flange to a machine or wall to support idler sprockets and pulleys in tensioning applications. They include washers and a nut to position your component and hold it in place.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Tubing is welded with a smoothed weld bead on the inside to reduce particle buildup. It is also known as DOM (drawn over mandrel) tubing.

A thin layer of zinc yellow-chromate gives this tubing extra corrosion resistance, making it an economical alternative to stainless steel.

Reduce the chance your concrete will crack from expansion and contraction and other tensile stresses.

Be prepared with ring shims in a variety of thicknesses. These shims fit around fasteners and shafts to precisely align, level, and adjust spacing.

For a snug fit around a shaft, the ID of these shims is held to a tighter tolerance than other round shims.

Slide these shims under the screw head to shorten the shoulder length.

Place these shims under sharpened dies to restore their original height and extend their life.

These shims are shaped to fit over D-profile shafts. Use them to precisely align, level, and adjust spacing.

Be prepared with shims in a variety of thicknesses. Also known as arbor spacers, these shims are notched to fit over keyed shafts.

Send us a drawing, and we'll cut your custom shim. Shims are made of layers of metal bonded with adhesive; remove layers with a utility knife until you get the thickness you need.

Spin these tight-fitting shims onto your screw's threads to lengthen the shoulder.

Use round shims to precisely align, level, and adjust spacing on shafts and machinery.
