What Are Linear Shafts?

Linear shafts are precision-ground cylindrical rods engineered to deliver smooth, accurate linear motion in critical applications. These fundamental components serve as the backbone of modern motion control systems, providing unwavering support and guidance for linear bearings.

From micro-precision medical devices to heavy-duty industrial automation, linear shafts enable the reliable, frictionless movement that powers today's advanced machinery and equipment.
