Linear shaft fi=40 H6 supported

Product Description

Supported linear shaft fi=40 mm h6 - sold by the metre

This fi=40 mm linear shaft is mounted on a support along its entire length, so it does not bend even over long spans. Material: steel Cf53 (1.1213), induction-hardened surface (60-64 HRC), tolerance h6 (ISO).

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

Which linear bearing fits this shaft?

Supported shafts are used with open linear bearings (with a slot for the support) with a diameter of fi=40 mm - closed bearings cannot pass the support mounting.

How does a supported shaft differ from a standard shaft?

A supported shaft is fixed to the base along its entire length, so it does not bend under load even over long spans. A standard shaft is fixed only at its ends.

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=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.
