Linear Shafts 

Engineers can configure all MISUMI high-quality shafts in one-millimeter length increments. In addition, no drawings are required because engineers can use the MISUMI online CAD Configurator to design shafts to their specifications. The best part is engineers have a variety of shaft end configurations to choose from and all MISUMI linear shafts feature a standard manufacturing time of three days with same day or next day shipping available on some configured shafts. And as it is with all MISUMI components, there are no set-up charges or minimum ordering quantities.

Additionally, standard length straight shafts are stocked and ready to ship in one-day. The “Linear Shafts Quickly” program includes 450 straight shaft types and competitive pricing for the entire product line. When compared to previous one day express manufacturing options the “Linear Shafts Quickly” program allows you to save up to 65% cost for standard straight shafts. Metric stocked shafts include 52100 Chrome Plated Bearing Steel and 440C Stainless Steel materials. Inch stocked shafts include 1060 Steel and 440C Stainless Steel materials.

Application Ideas for Linear Shafts

Linear Shafts:

Also known as shaft or shafting, linear shaft is a heat treated, turned, ground and polished rounded metal. Typically used in conjunction with a linear bushing within a linear motion system, the hardened and ground surface of the shaft allows the bushing’s rolling elements to smoothly run along the shaft diameter without damaging it, therefore providing a long life for the system.

Drilling, cutting and machining a case-hardened shaft can be a difficult process so to assist the engineer MISUMI shafts can be ordered in 1mm length increments and offer a vast amount of tapped end configurations as well as other material and hardening options.
