    Rotary Shafts

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Rotary Shafts.
    Pair with gears, sprockets, and bearings to transmit rotary motion. Turned, ground, and polished to tight tolerances, these shafts reduce vibration, evenly distribute loads, and improve accuracy.
    Highly Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel—More corrosion resistant than 303 and 304 stainless steel shafts. They stand up to salt water and harsh chemicals, such as bleach, chlorine, and phosphoric acid.

    Dowel Pins

    Precisely align machine parts and prevent movement during assembly. These dowel pins are machined to tight tolerances and have a uniform diameter for a snug fit. They can also be used as a pivot, shaft, or hinge to join moving components. Since dowel pins can be hard to remove, they are best suited for permanent fixtures that don't require frequent adjustments or disassembly.

    High-Strength Alloy Steel—Our strongest, most wear-resistant pins, these won't bend or break from vibration. Use them for high-stress applications, such as mounting and aligning hydraulic cylinders and injection molds. They perform best in dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.
    Material Certificate—Pins include a report with a traceable lot number and a description of their chemical, physical, and mechanical properties.

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Dowel Pins. Standard Tolerance, Plain Head.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments. In addition to resisting rust, these pins also withstand mild chemicals such as cleaners and degreasers. They are strong enough to join most components but won't withstand extreme stress and vibration as well as steel.
    Highly Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel—Our most corrosion-resistant pins, these hold up in just about any environment. They won't degrade from exposure to weather, salt water, and most chemicals. Like 18-8 stainless steel, they're strong enough to join most components but won't withstand stress and vibration as well as steel.

    Linear Shafts

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Linear Shafts.
    Pair with linear bearings and shaft supports to create smooth, precise motion. These linear shafts are turned, ground, and polished to tight tolerances and hardened to resist wear.
    Corrosion-Resistant 17-4 PH Stainless Steel—More corrosion resistant than 420 and 440C stainless steel, but not as hard or wear resistant.
    Surface Smoothness—The lower the microinch value, the smoother the finish and the less friction it will cause on the bearing.

    Ultra-Formable 260 Brass Rods

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Brass. Ultra-Formable 260 Brass Rods.
    The most formable brass alloy we offer. With its high copper content and little to no lead, 260 is so soft you can bend it at room temperature. It's often shaped into ammunition casings, radiator components, and decorative door hardware. Also known as cartridge brass.

    Undersized Hardened Multipurpose M2 High-Speed Tool Steel Rods

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Steel. Undersized Hardened Multipurpose M2 High-Speed Tool Steel Rods.
    These rods, also known as drill blanks, have an undersized diameter for machining your own drill bits. They're hardened for increased abrasion and impact resistance. M2 tool steel offers a nice balance of wear resistance and machinability. It has a high molybdenum content, which allows it to maintain sharp cutting edges even at elevated temperatures.

    Undersized Dowel Pins

    You don’t need to create precise holes for these pins when aligning parts you plan to bolt together. They have a slightly undersized diameter to slip into place without the need for special installation tools, like an arbor press. Undersized pins are also used for prototyping and positioning components you need to assemble and disassemble frequently.
