About Steel Shaft
Engineered for Precision and StrengthOur steel shafts are manufactured to tight straightness tolerances and offer tensile strengths between 600 and 850 MPa, depending on the grade. With robust options in EN8, EN19, EN24, and C45, you are assured of structural reliability for demanding power transmission and machinery applications. Each shaft adheres to international standards such as ASTM, DIN, BS, and JIS.
Tailored to Your RequirementsWhether you need standard sizes or custom lengths up to 6 meters, our steel shafts are fully adaptable to your specifications. Select from a variety of finishes, including polished, mirror, or brushed, and request specific diameters between 6 mm and 250 mm. Heat treatments and coatings can be applied as required for particular operating conditions.
Reliable Performance Across ApplicationsThese shafts are widely used in transmission systems, axles, spindles, pump shafts, and rollers within automotive, engineering, and power transmission sectors. They offer good machinability and can be further enhanced for corrosion and heat resistance-making them suitable for operation up to temperatures of 400C, depending on material selection.
FAQ's of Steel Shaft:
Q: How can I customize the length and diameter of the steel shaft to fit my machinery requirements?
A: You can specify your desired length (up to 6 meters) and diameter (from 6 mm to 250 mm or customized) when placing an order. Our manufacturing process accommodates precise requirements for dimensions, tolerances, and surface finishes as per your application.
Q: What grades and material compositions are available for these steel shafts?
A: We offer shafts in EN8, EN19, EN24, and C45 steel grades, with typical compositions such as C: 0.40-0.45%, Mn: 0.60-0.90%, and Si: 0.10-0.40% for EN8. Other grades can be provided upon request to match specific mechanical and operational needs.
Q: When is heat treatment applied to the shaft, and what are the available options?
A: Heat treatment is applied during production after machining, depending on desired properties. Options include normalization, hardening and tempering, or induction hardening (on demand), each improving strength, hardness, and durability to suit different industrial uses.
Q: Where are these steel shafts typically used?
A: Our steel shafts are commonly used in industrial machinery, automotive assemblies, power transmission equipment, and general engineering components such as axles, spindles, and pump shafts.
Q: What benefits does this steel shaft offer in terms of performance and longevity?
A: These shafts provide excellent straightness, mechanical strength (600-850 MPa tensile strength), good machinability, and reliable magnetic properties. Optional coatings improve corrosion resistance, and various heat treatments extend service life in harsh conditions.
Q: How are steel shafts packed and protected during shipping?
A: Shafts are securely packed in bundles using plastic or steel strips, or wooden cases as required. This ensures safe transport and protects the surface finish during delivery to your facility.
