A flat surface area allows set screws to dig into the shaft for securely mounting gears, sprockets, and bearings.

Attach threaded accessories, such as mixer propellers and fan blades, to the end of these shafts.

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

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.

Similar to turnbuckles, these rods have right-hand threads on one end and left-hand threads on the other so you can make a linkage that adjusts for tension. Add right- and left-hand threaded rod ends to build your linkages.

Internal ball bearings provide smooth low-friction travel in applications that require high speeds, accurate positioning, and repeatable movement. Also known as single-start metric ball screws and nuts, these have a single thread that runs the length of the screw.

Class 12.9 rods are about 20% stronger than Class 10.9 threaded rods and are for use in heavy machinery.

About half the strength of medium-strength steel threaded rods, use these metric fine-thread rods for light duty hanging, mounting, and fastening.

These metric Grade B7 threaded rods meet the pressure and temperature requirements of ASTM A193 and are often used to secure pressure tanks, valves, and flanges.

An economical alternative to Grade B7 and Grade B16 threaded rods, these metric Class 8.8 rods are suitable for fastening most machinery and equipment.
