Linear shaft fi=40 H6 L=380

Product Description

Linear shaft h6 with a diameter of 40 mm, length 380 mm

A fi=40 mm shaft with a fixed length of 380 mm works well where an exact dimension matters more than running metres. 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=40 mm - what matters is matching the diameter and tolerance h6, not the bearing manufacturer.

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.

Can I shorten this shaft myself?

We do not recommend cutting it yourself - it can damage the hardened surface and affect the straightness of the shaft. It is best to install the shaft in the length supplied.

Where are fi=40 linear shafts used?

Large-diameter linear shafts are used in heavy linear axes of machines, presses, production lines, manipulators and internal transport equipment - wherever the linear guide carries high loads.
