About Shafts

Tapped Linear Motion Shafts

Internal threads allow you to mount these shafts onto threaded studs and fasteners, no shaft supports needed.

Threaded Linear Motion Shafts

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.

Step-Down Linear Motion Shafts

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

Linear Motion Shafts with Retaining Ring Grooves

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

Support-Rail Shafts

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

Shafts for Support Rails

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.

Rotary Shafts

Tapped Rotary Shafts

Connect these internally threaded shafts directly to threaded components, or use a fastener to secure.

Tapped D-Profile 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.

D-Profile Rotary Shafts

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

Threaded Rotary Shafts

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

Keyed Rotary Shafts

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

Step-Down Rotary Shafts

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

Rotary Shafts with Retaining Ring Grooves

Clip retaining rings into the grooves to separate and position gears, sprockets, and bearings.
