Optima engineering systems offers hardened and ground shafts that are surface hardened and precision ground. These are made from high-grade steels. The shafts have a surface hardness of 670 to 840 hv [58 + 62 hrc] and a surface roughness of ra 0.3 [rt 1.6] and g6 tolerance. High depth as well as excellent geometrical accuracy and surface quality guarantee optimum running characteristics. Further the shafts are hard chrome plated to prevent them from rusting. In addition, special machining like tapping, milling, threads, through holes, etc, is also executed on request. Soft hard chrome plated shafts are also available from stock. Applications: these shafts are used with linear ball bushes in linear guidance systems in machine tools; screen printing machines, spms material handling equipment, textile machines, packaging machinery, and rolling mills.
