Tapped Linear Motion Shafts


Internal threads allow you to mount these shafts onto threaded studs and fasteners, no shaft supports needed. 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 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.
52100 alloy steel shafts are good for high-load applications. They are, however, more difficult to machine than carbon steel shafts.
440C stainless steel shafts are more corrosion resistant than steel shafts but can be more difficult to machine.

Flat-Vent Pull-Out Dowel Pins

The flat side of these pins relieves trapped air, making them easier to insert and remove from blind holes. One end is tapped and the other is chamfered for easy insertion. To remove, thread a screw or tool into the tapped hole, then pull them out. Use them as pivots, hinges, shafts, jigs, and fixtures to locate or hold parts. Pins are precision ground for accurate alignment. Breaking strength is measured as double shear, which is the force required to break a pin into three pieces.
Metric pins meet DIN standards.
