This is a chrome-plated, hardened linear shaft with a standard diameter of 5mm, offered in a selection of longer lengths suitable for larger build volumes or extended travel applications. Manufactured from quality steel (C45 or GCr15), it undergoes hardening to achieve a durable surface and is finished with a chrome plating that enhances corrosion resistance and provides a smooth, hard wearing surface.
The shaft is precision-ground along its entire length to ensure consistent diameter and excellent straightness, which is critical for maintaining alignment and reducing friction when paired with linear ball bearings. It serves as a fundamental component in constructing or upgrading linear motion systems, commonly found in larger format 3D printers, CNC router gantries, laser cutter assemblies, and other automated equipment requiring reliable and precise linear guidance over longer distances.
