About Shafts

Inch-to-Inch Female Hex Thread Adapters

Connect two differently sized male-threaded parts, such as threaded rods, and tighten with a standard wrench.

Inch-to-Metric Female Hex Thread Adapters

Adapt threaded rods from inch to metric. These adapters connect two male-threaded fasteners, so you can change the gender of a mating part or increase or decrease its thread size. The hex-shaped body fits into the head of a standard wrench.

Linear Motion Shafts

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.

Tapped Linear Motion Shafts

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

Linear Motion Shafts with Retaining Ring Grooves

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

Step-Down Linear Motion Shafts

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

Rotary Shafts

Threaded Rotary Shafts

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

Tapped Rotary Shafts

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

D-Profile Rotary Shafts

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

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.
