PBC Linear Shafting and Rails

Linear Shafts (Shafting) and Support Rails

Linear Shafts and Support Rails prevent linear bearing binding from shaft sag in high-load applications. Our shafts, rails, and assemblies come in various combinations of 1060 carbon steel (RC60 Hardness™), 440 stainless steel (RC50 Hardness™), and feather-light ceramic-coated aluminum. The shafts—solid or pre-drilled—feature an optimized finish for quick break-in with self-lubricating plain linear bearings, ensuring minimal maintenance and extended machinery lifespan, with straightness tolerances of 0.001"-0.002" per foot in standard or custom lengths. The assemblies, offered as fused shaft-rail units or separate components ready to bolt together, can be mounted vertically or horizontally for versatile, economical performance. Support blocks are also available.

Our shafts, rails, and assemblies are sold in various combinations of 1060 carbon steel (RC60 Hardness™), 440 stainless steel (RC50 Hardness™), and feather-light ceramic-coated aluminum. The shafts—solid or pre-drilled—feature an optimized finish for quick break-in with self-lubricating plain linear bearings, ensuring minimal maintenance and extended machinery lifespan, with straightness tolerances of 0.001"-0.002" per foot in standard or custom lengths. The assemblies, offered as fused shaft-rail units or separate components ready to bolt together, can be mounted vertically or horizontally for versatile, economical performance. Support blocks are also available.
  • Material Options: 1060 carbon stee, 440 stainless steel or ceramic-coated aluminum
