Shafting

Steel Linear Shafting

Optimized for high durability and precision, our steel linear shafting is the backbone of linear motion systems. Designed to support linear bearings and ball bearing shafts, this shafting ensures robust performance and longevity.

• Crafted for high wear resistance, suitable for linear motion shafts in industrial settings.
• The shafting's precision-ground surface is ideal for linear guide shafts applications.
• Available in case-hardened RC60 or RC50 440 stainless solid steel for high load capacities.

• Industrial automation
• CNC routing and machining
• High precision linear bearing shaft assemblies in heavy-duty equipment

Aluminum Linear Shafting

Our aluminum linear shafting, featuring a ceramic-like coating, offers a lightweight alternative without compromising on strength. Suitable for plain bearing aluminum shaft applications, they provide a non-magnetic, corrosion-resistant solution.

• Anodized surface for increased durability and smooth linear motion shaft travel.
• Exceptional corrosion resistance makes it ideal for linear guide shafts in harsh environments.
• Non-magnetic properties allow use in specialized applications where magnetic interference is a concern.
• An excellent match for FrelonGOLD® lined plain bearings

• Medical devices
• Food processing machinery
• Packaging equipment where plain bearing shafts are required

Linear Shafting Support Rails

Our linear shafting support rails are designed to provide additional stability and load distribution for linear shafts. These rails enhance the system's structural integrity, particularly for extended travel lengths, up to 48 inches or 1200 mm..

• Ideal for supporting linear bearing shafts and linear motion shafts over long distances.
• Durable construction with mounting flexibility, suitable for heavy-duty linear slide rails.
• Sand-blasted or oiled finishes to complement a variety of industrial applications.

• Material handling systems
• Heavy-duty linear rail guide tracks
• Automation equipment requiring long linear rails and precise guidance

Linear Shafting Steel Low Support Rail

The AISI C-1018 steel low support rails offer a compact, low-profile option for linear shafts where space is limited. Despite their size, they maintain the rigidity and strength expected of a support system.

• Provides a solid foundation for linear bearing shafts in space-constrained applications.
• A reduced footprint and low profile, ideal for linear motion shaft applications requiring subtlety.
• They can be easily customized up to lengths of 144 inches for various linear guide shaft needs.

• Desktop CNC machines
• Printing and scanning equipment where linear guide rails must fit within sleek designs
• Any application where ball bearing and shaft integration requires a discreet support system

Steel Linear Shafting End Blocks

End support blocks can be used for end or intermittent shaft support. The steel end support block provide that extra strong support when needed and can be used with all shaft types. Ideally, they should be used where deflection between supports is not a problem.

• Only in inch sizing options 
• Instant bolt-down installation 
• Can be used with all shaft types 
• Ideally used where deflection between supports is not a problem 
• Compatible with shaft diameters: 0.5 in to 2 in

• Industrial machinery where ball bearing and shaft configurations are subject to high forces.
• Automation systems that rely on linear rails for precision movements.
• Any application that demands robust linear rail guides for reliable operation.

Aluminum Linear Shafting End Blocks

End support blocks can be used for end or intermittent shaft support. The aluminum end support block is lightweight and strong, and can be used with all shaft types. Ideally, they should be used where deflection between supports is not a problem.

• Only in inch sizing options 
• Instant bolt-down installation 
• Can be used with all shaft types 
• Ideally used where deflection between supports is not a problem 
• Compatible with shaft diameters: 0.25 in to 2 in

• Medical and laboratory equipment where linear slide rails must be light yet strong.
• Aerospace and transportation industries where linear guide rails benefit from weight savings.
• Packaging equipment or other systems where linear slide rail guide precision is required without the extra heft.
