Product Description

Linear shaft h6 with a diameter of 30 mm - sold by the metre

The linear shaft fi=30 mm is a precision rod for linear guides, sold by the metre. Made of steel Cf53 (1.1213), induction hardened to 60-64 HRC and ground to tolerance h6 (ISO).

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

Which linear bearing fits this shaft?

Any linear bearing, plain bushing or carriage intended for a diameter of fi=30 mm - what matters is matching the diameter and tolerance h6, not the bearing manufacturer.

What does tolerance h6 mean for this shaft?

It is an ISO designation describing the tolerance zone of the outer diameter - h6 ensures an accurate, repeatable fit with the linear bearing.

Can this shaft be used for rotary motion?

A linear shaft is designed for linear (sliding) motion together with a linear bearing or bushing - it is not a drive shaft transmitting torque, such as a splined shaft.

Does this shaft need lubrication or maintenance?

The shaft itself needs no lubrication, but in a damp environment it is worth protecting the surface with anti-corrosion oil - steel Cf53 is not corrosion resistant.

Where are fi=30 linear shafts used?

Linear shafts of this diameter are used in linear axes of CNC machines, production lines, manipulators, packaging machines, industrial automation feeders and positioning systems - where the linear guide has to carry higher loads.
