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.

Connect these internally threaded shafts directly to threaded components, or use a fastener to secure. They have a flat surface area that allows set screws to dig into the shaft for securely mounting gears, sprockets, and bearings.

Thread these shafts into a tapped hole to support idler sprockets and pulleys in tensioning applications. They have a retaining-ring groove, retaining ring, and spacers to position your component and hold it in place.

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

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

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

A removable collar allows access to the shaft without unbolting the flange. For use with light to medium loads where shaft alignment is not critical, these supports allow you to hold linear shafts perpendicular to the mounting surface. Secure the shaft by tightening the clamping screw.

Create a compact linear and rotary motion system for applications requiring complex, fast movements, such as robotics.

Use these metal dowel pins as pivots, hinges, shafts, jigs, and fixtures to locate or hold parts.

Cut this 12" stock to the length you need.

The flat side of these pins relieves trapped air, making them easier to insert in and remove from blind holes. To remove, thread a screw or tool into the tapped hole, then pull the pin out.

A spiral groove cut into these pins relieves trapped air but stays in 360° contact with the hole for a secure fit that's easy to insert in and remove from blind holes. To remove, thread a screw or tool into the tapped hole, then pull the pin out.

Center-groove pins are often used in place of clevis pins or to create T-handles. The grooved center locks pins in position, while the smooth ends act as a pivot. Also known as type E pins.

Grooves run the full length of these pins for a firm hold that won't spin. Use them in place of standard dowel, spring, and taper pins to fasten parts. Also known as type A pins.

Quarter-groove pins are well suited for hinges or pivots. The grooved end locks pins in position, while the smooth portion can act as a pivot. Also known as type C pins.

Multiple thread channels (also known as thread starts) create faster linear travel than lead screws with a single thread start.

Also known as single-start and self-locking lead screws and nuts, these have a single thread that runs the length of the screw. The nut travels only when the screw turns, so your system won't unexpectedly move when the lead screw is at rest.

Also known as trapezoidal-thread lead screws and nuts.

Also known as single-start ball screws and nuts, these have a single thread that runs the length of the screw. They operate with more torque than fast-travel ball screws and nuts.

Keep your ball screw spinning without the ball nut damaging your system. When the ball nut reaches the stop pin at either end of the ball screw, it disengages and begins to idle.

These metric lead screws and nuts have broad, square threads that are well suited for quick assembly, high clamping forces, and lifting and lowering heavy objects. They're commonly found in hand-powered clamps, vises, grates, doors, and work tables.
