Linear Shafting and Shaft Supports
PowerTrax HG precision hardened, and ground linear shafting is manufactured for use with precision linear bearings and other applications requiring an accurate, round hardened shaft or guide rod. All linear shafting ends can be machined by Nook to any configuration. Excellent surface finish and hardness maximize the efficiency and life of linear bearings. Nook HG Shafting is made from high quality alloy steel.
Features
- Diameters from 1/4 to 4 inches. Stainless Steel shafting from 1/4 thru 2 inch diameter. Standard diameters can be cut to length and shipped within 24 hours.
- Available in standard shafting or pre-drilled for assembly support rail.
- Stocked with radial holes drilled and tapped to accept a continuous shaft support rail to prevent shaft deflection when supporting heavy loads or for long travel lengths. Radial holes can be supplied in stainless steel shafts from ½" to 2" diameter.
