Types of Linear Shafts

Linear shafts are available in multiple configurations to suit diverse mechanical and automation applications:

  • Solid Shafts: The most widely used type, offering high rigidity and load-bearing capacity. Available in standard cylindrical designs as well as stepped linear shafts with machined ends.
  • Hollow Shafts: Lightweight alternatives that reduce overall system weight while maintaining structural strength.
  • Stepped Linear Shafts (One-Side or Both-Side Stepped): Linear shafts with reduced diameters at one end or both ends. The stepped portions provide axial positioning and make mounting easier. One-side stepped shafts are used for simple end positioning, while both-side stepped shafts are suitable for fixing the shaft axially from both ends.

Based on end machining, linear shafts can be supplied as:

  • No Machining
  • Tapped
  • Threaded
  • Set Screw Grooved
  • With Retaining Ring Grooves
  • Tapped hole

Materials and Surface Treatments

Linear shafts are manufactured using high-quality materials to ensure durability, wear resistance, and dimensional accuracy:

  • Stainless Steel: Provide excellent corrosion resistance and are suitable for cleanroom, medical, or humid environments.
  • Steel Shafts with Surface Treatment: Offer cost-effective performance while maintaining strength and precision.

Available surface cleaning and finishing options include:

  • Degreasing for basic oil removal
  • Precision Cleaning for contamination-sensitive applications
  • Electrolytic Polishing with Precision Cleaning for high-purity and cleanroom environments

Key Features and Applications

  • Precision Machining: Tight tolerances for straightness, roundness, and diameter ensure smooth operation in high-accuracy systems.
  • System Compatibility: Designed to work seamlessly with linear bearings, bushings, and support units.
  • Customization Options: Shaft length, diameter, and end processing can be tailored to application requirements.

Linear shafts are widely used in:

  • Packaging and conveyor systems
  • Medical and laboratory devices
  • Industrial automation equipment
  • Pick-and-place and robotic systems
  • Precision inspection and measurement tools
