High-quality linear shafts to complement linear bearings, PBC linear plain bearings and pillow block bearings.

Size options – A selection of sizes are available – metric sizes from 5-150mm, (3/16 – 4″ imperial)

Long life – Precision hardened and ground steel linear shafts are h6 tolerance or class L, surface finished to 0.2 – 0.4µm for maximum bearing life.

Easy to assemble – Shafts are supplied drilled for customer assembly or fitted to the support rails for ease of supply.

Support rails – Are available ready to mount to prevent shaft deflection under load and provide a high level of rigidity in order to achieve optimum performance.

A low overall height makes the support rails particularly suitable for use with Hepco Pacific Pillow Blocks.
The standard support rail is manufactured from aluminium alloy and comes in 600mm lengths, these are then cut/butted together to fit the overall length of the shaft.
