Combine with a machine key to transmit torque to gears, sprockets, and other power transmission components.

In addition to diameter tolerances that are twice as tight as standard keyed shafts, these shafts include a traceable lot number and test report. Use them with machine keys to transmit torque to gears, sprockets, and other power transmission components.

Eight times straighter than standard rotary shafts, these tight-tolerance shafts minimize vibrations and reduce wear to bearings and other components. They also have diameter tolerances that are twice as tight as standard rotary shafts.

Connect these internally threaded shafts directly to threaded components, or use a fastener to secure. They have a flat surface area that allows set screws to dig into the shaft for securely mounting gears, sprockets, and bearings.

With a splined profile on one end, these shafts transmit high rotational loads—good for hydraulic systems, machine tools, and other high-torque applications. Compared to keyed shafts, they last longer, handle higher torque, and do not require as tight of a fit.

A shoulder near the end of the shaft provides a stop for gears, sprockets, and bearings.

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.

Keep a material certificate on hand for compliance and quality assurance needs. Certificates include a traceable lot number and material test report. These hollow shafts reduce system weight and allow you to run various media such as electrical wiring, compressed air tubing, coolants, or lubricants through the center.

A shoulder near the end of the shaft allows for easy positioning of housings, shaft supports, and collars.

Replace worn shafts in two-piece support-rail shaft systems, or mate with a support rail to create your own. The tapped mounting holes match those on our Support Rails.

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