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.

Clip retaining rings into the grooves to separate and position 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.

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

These metric threaded rods are about half the strength of medium-strength steel threaded rods for light duty hanging, mounting, and fastening.

These metric threaded rods tighten when turned to the left; once fastened, they resist loosening from counterclockwise motion. About half the strength of medium-strength steel threaded rods, use them for light duty hanging, mounting, and fastening.
