Stainless linear shaft fi=16 h6, cut length 0,5m

Product Description

Stainless linear shaft fi=16 h6, cut length 0,5m

This piece already has a fixed length of 500 mm, so it goes to stock and to assembly without any cutting to size. Material: stainless steel X46Cr13, made to tolerance h6 (ISO) - in line with the standard for guide rods.

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

Can I use any linear bearing with this shaft?

What matters is matching the diameter (fi=16 mm) and the tolerance (h6) - you choose the bearing type (ball, plain, linear carriage) according to the design of the mechanism.

Does this shaft have a fixed, ready length?

Yes, the length of 500 mm is fixed and final - the product reaches you fully prepared for assembly.

Can this shaft be used for rotary motion or only for linear 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 hollow shaft or a splined shaft.

How much can the shaft bend over its full length?

The standard allows a deviation of up to 0,5 mm per metre of length - this is the norm for precision linear shafts, regardless of diameter.

Where are fi=16 linear shafts used?

fi=16 mm linear shafts are most often used in: CNC sliding tables, linear axes of Cartesian robots, 3D printers, plotters, packaging machines, industrial automation feeders, measuring devices, positioning systems and prototype mechanical designs - wherever precise, repeatable linear motion guided on bearings or plain bushings is needed.
