Threaded Linear Motion Shafts





with Retaining
Ring Grooves
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. Smooth, hard, and wear resistant, linear motion shafts work with linear bearings to reduce friction in manual and automated systems, such as those found in packing, machine tool, and material handling operations. The smooth surface reduces friction and wear on the bearing—the lower the microinch value a shaft has, the smoother its finish and the less friction it will create. Shafts are case-hardened to increase hardness and wear resistance on the surface of the shaft while allowing the center to remain soft for absorbing stresses caused by shifting loads. The edges are chamfered to remove sharp corners, reducing damage to bearings, housings, and other components during installation. All are turned, ground, and polished to tight diameter and straightness tolerances.
1060 carbon steel shafts balance high strength and good machinability, making them ideal for general purpose use.

Steel shafts are generally stronger than aluminum and stainless steel shafts but not as corrosion resistant. 1045 carbon steel shafts balance high strength and good machinability, making them ideal for general purpose use. 4140 alloy steel shafts have a higher yield strength than 1045 carbon steel shafts for supporting heavier loads; however, they are more difficult to machine. They are hardened for increased wear resistance. 303 stainless steel are more corrosion resistant than steel shafts but also more difficult to machine. They are annealed (softened) for increased corrosion resistance.

Internal threads allow you to attach threaded components.
To Order: Please specify the length of the shaft (in 0.005" or 0.1 mm increments). For the threaded end of the shaft, please specify thread size, thread length (in 0.005" or 01. mm increments), and step length (in 0.005" or 0.1 mm increments). For the tapped end of the shaft, please specify thread size.
Tapped Rotary Shafts
Connect these internally threaded shafts directly to threaded components, or use a fastener to secure. The edges are chamfered to remove sharp corners, reducing damage to bearings, housings, and other components during installation. All are turned, ground, and polished to tight diameter and straightness tolerances.
Steel shafts are generally stronger than aluminum and stainless steel shafts but not as corrosion resistant. 1045 carbon steel shafts balance high strength and good machinability, making them ideal for general purpose use. 4140 alloy steel shafts have a higher yield strength than 1045 carbon steel shafts for supporting heavier loads; however, they are more difficult to machine. They are hardened for increased wear resistance. 303 stainless steel are more corrosion resistant than steel shafts but also more difficult to machine. They are annealed (softened) for increased corrosion resistance.

Attach threaded accessories, such as mixer propellers and fan blades, to the end of these shafts.
To Order: Please specify the length of the shaft (in 0.005" or 0.1 mm increments). For the tapped end of the shaft, please specify thread size. For the threaded end of the shaft, please specify thread size, thread length (in 0.005" or 01. mm increments), and step length (in 0.005" or 0.1 mm increments).
D-Profile Rotary Shafts
A flat surface area allows set screws to dig into the shaft for securely mounting gears, sprockets, and bearings. The edges are chamfered to remove sharp corners, reducing damage to bearings, housings, and other components during installation. All are turned, ground, and polished to tight diameter and straightness tolerances.

Step-Down Rotary Shafts
A shoulder near the end of the shaft provides a stop for gears, sprockets, and bearings. The edges are chamfered to remove sharp corners, reducing damage to bearings, housings, and other components during installation. All are turned, ground, and polished to tight diameter and straightness tolerances.

Keyed Rotary Shafts
Combine these shafts with a machine key (not included) to transmit torque to gears, sprockets, and other power transmission components. All have an ANSI standard keyway (keys not included; see our selection of key stock). Their edges are chamfered to remove sharp corners, reducing damage to bearings, housings, and other components during installation. All are turned, ground, and polished to tight diameter and straightness tolerances.
Steel shafts are generally stronger than aluminum and stainless steel shafts but not as corrosion resistant. 1045 carbon steel shafts balance high strength and good machinability, making them ideal for general purpose use. 4140 alloy steel shafts have a higher yield strength than 1045 carbon steel shafts for supporting heavier loads; however, they are more difficult to machine.
Stainless steel shafts are more corrosion resistant than steel shafts but also more difficult to machine. 303 and 304 stainless steel shafts have good corrosion resistance. 303 stainless steel shafts are annealed, which makes them softer than 304 stainless steel shafts but more corrosion resistant.

Rotary Shafts with Retaining Ring Grooves
Clip retaining rings into the grooves to separate and position gears, sprockets, and bearings.
