Also known as mild steel, low-carbon steel is easy to machine, form, and weld. It's widely fabricated into parts that don’t require high strength.

These rods are precision ground and held to a strict straightness tolerance, so they're ready for turning in a lathe.

Coated with an aluminum-silicon alloy, these sheets resist corrosion while withstanding long-term exposure to high temperatures. Use in drying ovens, furnaces, and smokestacks.

With a thickness that's precision ground to a tight tolerance, these bars are sometimes called flat stock.

Also known as black-annealed wire.

Coated with PVC for corrosion resistance, this carbon steel wire will stand up to outdoor use.

Made of rigid low-carbon steel, these I-beams are often used in construction, framing, lifting, and hoisting applications.

Made of stiff low-carbon steel to deflect less under load, these H-bars are commonly used in machine bases, construction, platforms, and frames.

Ready for turning in a lathe, these rods are precision ground and held to a strict straightness tolerance.

The lead additive acts as a lubricant, which allows 12L14 carbon steel to withstand very fast machining. It's used to fabricate a wide variety of machine parts.

These rods are precision ground and held to a strict straightness tolerance, so they're all set for turning applications in your lathe.

A lead-free alternative to 12L14, 1215 carbon steel contains the same amount of sulfur and phosphorus for excellent machinability. It is often used for shaft couplings, studs, and pins.

These rods, also known as drill blanks, have an undersized diameter for machining your own jobbers'-length drill bits.

Also known as reamer blanks, these rods are hardened for increased abrasion and impact resistance.

An oversized diameter allows for finishing to your exact requirements.

Hardened for increased abrasion and impact resistance.

Made from powdered metal, M4 tool steel has a consistent microstructure that gives it outstanding resistance to wear and abrasion. It is comparable to CPM Rex M4.

Precision ground and held to a strict straightness tolerance, these rods are ready for turning in your lathe.

Hardened for increased abrasion and impact resistance, these rods are precision ground with a tight diameter tolerance.

Use these general purpose shafts with bearings, sprockets, and gears to transmit rotary motion.

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

These shafts have keyways only on the ends, leaving a plain shaft in the center. Use the keyways with machine keys to transmit torque to gears, sprockets, and other keyed components. Use the middle of the shaft with bearings and other round-bore components.

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.

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

Thread these shafts into a tapped hole to support idler sprockets and pulleys in tensioning applications. They have a retaining-ring groove, retaining ring, and spacers to position your component and hold it in place.

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

Combine these general purpose shafts with a linear bearing and shaft support to create a basic linear motion system.

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

Keep a material certificate on hand for compliance and quality assurance needs. Certificates include a traceable lot number and material test report. These hollow shafts reduce system weight and allow you to run various media such as electrical wiring, compressed air tubing, coolants, or lubricants through the center.

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

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.

Found in hand-powered clamps, vises, grates, doors, and work tables, lead screws and nuts have broad, square threads that are well suited for quick assembly, high clamping forces, and lifting and lowering heavy objects.

Also known as single-start and self-locking lead screws and nuts, these have a single thread that runs the length of the screw. The nut travels only when the screw turns, so your system won't unexpectedly move when the lead screw is at rest.

Also known as trapezoidal-thread lead screws and nuts.

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.

Keep your ball screw spinning without the ball nut damaging your system. When the ball nut reaches the stop pin at either end of the ball screw, it disengages and begins to idle.

Mount these two-piece collars anywhere on an Acme lead screw without removing components.

A crisscross thread pattern allows you to drive the nut back and forth without changing the lead screw's direction of rotation. When the nut reaches one end of the lead screw, it changes direction and travels back to the other end.

Also known as rod‐end bearings, ball joint rod ends have an eyelet and a ball that swivels to support angular misalignment.

A PTFE-embedded insert or PTFE liner reduces wear, handles shock loads, and eliminates the need for lubrication.

Connect your grease gun to the fitting to lubricate. Internal threads mate with rod end bolts, threaded rods, and other components with male threads.

An oil-embedded bronze insert slowly releases lubricant throughout the life of these internally threaded rod ends.
