Properties of precision shafts

Hardened and ground linear shafts with various threaded machining operations in stainless steel

Key properties of precision shafts are:

  • High-precision tolerances on diameter
  • High-precision tolerance on roundness
  • High-precision tolerance on straightness
  • High-precision tolerance on parallelism
  • Low surface roughness
  • High wear resistance due to hard exterior
