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.
Steel shafts are generally stronger than stainless steel shafts but not as corrosion resistant. 1566 carbon steel shafts balance high strength and good machinability, making them ideal for general purpose use. Shafts with chamfered edges have their edges ground to reduce damage to bearings, housings, and other components during installation.

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.
Steel shafts are generally stronger than aluminum and stainless steel shafts but not as corrosion resistant. 1055 and 1060 carbon steel shafts balance high strength and good machinability, making them ideal for general purpose use. 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. 420 stainless steel and 440C stainless steel shafts have good corrosion resistance. Shafts with chamfered edges have their edges ground to reduce damage to bearings, housings, and other components during installation.
Case-hardened shafts are hardened only on the surface of the shaft, which increases wear resistance while allowing the center to remain soft for absorbing stresses caused by shifting loads.

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. 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. Interior is unfinished; exterior is turned, ground, and polished to tight diameter and straightness tolerances. All are chamfered to remove sharp edges and reduce damage to bearings, housings, and other components during installation.
1055 carbon steel shafts balance high strength and good machinability, making them ideal for general purpose use.

These shafts include a support rail for a stable setup that eliminates bending and prevents linear bearings from rotating. Shafts have a smooth surface to reduce friction and wear on linear bearings—the lower the microinch value a shaft has, the smoother its finish and the less friction it will create. They 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.
Two-piece shafts allow you to replace the shaft when it becomes worn.
Carbon steel shafts are stronger than aluminum shafts but not as corrosion resistant. 1055 carbon steel shafts balance high strength and good machinability, making them ideal for general purpose use.
