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.

Clip retaining rings into the grooves to separate and position collars, supports, and housings.

These shafts include a support rail for a stable setup that eliminates bending and prevents linear bearings from rotating.

These rods are precision ground and held to a strict straightness tolerance, so they're ready for turning in a lathe.

Often called Stressproof, these rods are stress-relieved to minimize warping during machining.

Stronger than low-carbon steel with equally good machinability, 1045 carbon steel is widely used for bolts, studs, and shafts.

Often called ETD-150, these rods are made from a modified version of 4140 alloy steel and have been drawn at high temperatures for excellent strength.

From cookware to chemical-processing equipment, 304 stainless steel is a good all-around choice for a wide range of applications.

Hardened for improved strength and wear resistance, these rods are precision ground to a strict diameter tolerance. Use them for turning applications in your lathe.

The most widely used aluminum, 6061 is fabricated into everything from pipe fittings and containers to automotive and aerospace parts. It is strong and corrosion resistant, plus it's easy to machine and weld.

Ready for turning in a lathe, these rods are precision ground and held to a strict straightness tolerance.
