This product is a chrome-plated, hardened linear shaft with a hollow (tubular) cross-section. The hollow design provides a significant advantage in applications where reducing the weight of moving components is critical for improving dynamic performance or reducing inertia, while still maintaining high torsional and bending rigidity. The internal bore also offers practical utility for routing wires, pneumatic tubes, or as a conduit.
Available in a range of standard outer diameters, each paired with specific inner diameter options, it allows designers to select based on the required wall thickness and internal clearance. The shaft undergoes a hardening process and is finished with a durable chrome plating, resulting in a component that is to wear, corrosion, and capable of providing smooth, low-friction travel when used with compatible linear bearings. It is particularly useful in the construction of high-speed gantries, robotic arms, and other automated systems where every gram counts and integrated cable management is desired.
