Ground precision shafting is available in 303 and 316 unhardened stainless steel, 17-4PH and 400 Grade hardened stainless steel.

It is also available in various high carbon steels such as Ck53/Cf53 Chrome Vanadium Alloy, C1060 Case Hardened, 12L14 Cold Rolled Steel and Silver Steel (tool steel).
Nickel Plated Steel - Unhardened
BS1407
Shafting Picture

This is a commercial grade shafting available only in a limited number of sizes. The tolerances on this shafting are not specified, however it is suitable for bearing and pulley applications in hobby applications. Not recommended for precision applications.
Pipe Shafting
AISI 52100 Steel
Pipe Shafting

Reduces Weight

Applications where a cord or cable may need to pass out of sight from one end to the other.
Pipe Shafting
Aluminium AlMgSi 0.5 F22
Aluminium Pipe Shaft

Reduces Weight

Applications where a cord or cable may need to pass out of sight from one end to the other.

Recommended for use with Igubal Drylin bearings only. Not recommended for use with standard bearings.

Drill Rod
Drill Rod

For punches dies and high strength machine parts. Unhardened - requires heat treatment.
Pinion Shafts
Pinion Shafts

Designed to press fit small pinion gears.
Flexible Shafts
Flexible Shafts

Made from tightly wound helical coil springs wrapped around a centre wire. Because of its construction, the shaft can be bent, without fracture, to a much smaller radius than a solid shaft of the same outside diameter. The shaft is connected to the power source and the driven member by either coupling fittings or panel mountings.
Non Precision Rod - Brass
Brass Rod

For Hobby Applications. Not recommended for mounting of precision bearings.
Non Precision Rod - Aluminium
Aluminium Rod

For Hobby Applications. Not recommended for mounting of precision bearings.
Non Precision Rod - Stainless Steel
Stainless Rod

For Hobby Applications. Not recommended for mounting of precision bearings.
Threaded Shafting for Ball Screws
Threaded Shaft

Threaded shafting used in conjunction with a ball nut changes the turning motion of the screw into a linear motion of the nut.
Linear vs Rotating
