Linear Shafting

PBC Linear shafting is exclusively optimized to match high-performance bearing technology providing long life, low maintenance, and reliable linear motion. Linear shafting is available in three different standard materials- Carbon Steel, 400 Series Stainless Steel and Ceramic Coated Aluminum- for a wide range of applications. 300 Series Stainless Steel shafting is also available at request. All types of shafting are offered either as bar stock or pre-drilled, available in standard lengths or as cut-to-length shafts, and with customizable machined ends. 

Key Features Across All Variations: 

  • Inch sizes of 3/16” to 4” and metric sizes of 4mm to 80mm diameters  
  • Straight to within 0.001˝ to 0.002˝ per foot cumulative and 0.025 mm to 0.051 mm per meter cumulative  
    • Except on 3/8" (9.53 mm) diameters or smaller
  • End-joinable for longer travel lengths  
  • End support blocks available 
  • Cut to customer-specified length tolerances of:  
    • 3/16" to 1-1/4" shaft = ± 0.0300" 
    • 1-3/8" to 2" shaft = ± 0.060" 
    • 2-1/2" to 4" shaft = ± 0.125"

Linear Shaft Materials for Every Application 

1060 Carbon Steel 

Our RC60+ Steel Shafting has a surface finish that is optimized to promote the self-lubricating performance of Frelon-lined bearings and retain lubrication for traditional linear ball bearings.  

  • Well suited for general industrial environments 
  • Surface finish: 8-12 RMS  
  • Diameter tolerance: Class L


400 Series Stainless Steel 

440 Stainless Steel Shafting is case hardened to a minimum of RC50 and is suitable for use with Simplicity FrelonGOLD® lined bearings and linear ball bearings.  

  • Diameter tolerance is Class L 
  • Surface finish 8-12 RMS 
  • Good for harsh environments

Ceramic Coated Aluminum 

Hardened up to RC70, ceramic coated aluminum linear shafting is designed to be used with Simplicity FrelonGOLD® lined bearings in contaminated applications. 

  • Ideal for use with environments containing: 
    • Weld Splatter 
    • Paints 
    • Contaminants


300 Series Stainless Steel 

300 Series Stainless Steel shafting is extremely corrosive resistant and nonmagnetic and is usable only with non-rolling element bearings like Simplicity plain bearings. 

  • Includes 303, 304 and 316 Stainless Steel 
  • Ideal for harsh environments 
  • Reach out to factory for pricing and availability
