Rotary Shafts
Combine these general purpose drive shafts with gears, sprockets, and bearings to transmit rotary motion. All are turned, ground, and polished to meet tight diameter and straightness tolerances.
Stainless steel shafts are more corrosion resistant than steel shafts but also more difficult to machine. 316 stainless steel shafts have excellent corrosion resistance.
Shafts with chamfered edges have their edges ground to reduce damage to bearings, housings, and other components during installation.

Linear Motion Shafts
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. All are turned, ground, and polished to tight diameter and straightness tolerances.
Stainless steel shafts are more corrosion resistant than steel shafts; however, they’re not as hard as steel shafts and can be more difficult to machine. 17-4 PH stainless steel shafts have excellent corrosion resistance and high yield strength to support heavy loads.
Shafts with chamfered edges have their edges ground to reduce damage to bearings, housings, and other components during installation.
Hardened shafts are heat treated for increased wear resistance.

Hardened Undersized High-Speed M2 Tool Steel Rods
- Yield Strength: Not Rated
- Hardness: Rockwell C60 (Very Hard)
These rods, also known as drill blanks, have an undersized diameter for machining your own jobbers'-length 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.

Metric sizes: H01 (1/4 Hard) to H02 (1/2 Hard) - Heat Treatable: No
- Specifications Met: ASTM B134
The most formable brass we offer, 260 offers better weldability than 300 series brass but it’s not as machinable. Sometimes called cartridge brass, it's commonly used for ammunition casings, radiator components, and decorative door hardware.

Dowel Pins
Use dowel pins as pivots, hinges, shafts, jigs, and fixtures to locate or hold parts. For a tight fit, your hole should be equal to or slightly smaller than the diameter shown. Breaking strength is measured as double shear, which is the force required to break a pin into three pieces.
Steel pins are the strongest dowel pins. Steel pins are precision ground except for 1/32" diameter pins. Stainless steel pins are more corrosion resistant than steel pins. Pins that are passivated offer added protection against corrosion and oxidation. Stainless steel pins are precision ground except for 1/64" diameter pins. 18-8 stainless steel pins offer a balance of strength and corrosion resistance. They may be mildly magnetic. 316 stainless steel pins have the best corrosion resistance of our stainless steel pins. They may be mildly magnetic.
Metric pins meet either DIN 6325-m6 specifications for steel pins or ISO 2338-m6 specifications for stainless steel pins. DIN 6325-m6 is functionally equivalent to DIN EN ISO 8734, with slight differences in hardness and length tolerances.
DIN 7 is no longer an active specification and is superseded by ISO 2338-m6. They are functionally equivalent with slight differences in length and the pin ends. DIN 7 has rounded ends where ISO 2338-m6 has chamfered ends.
