Ballscrew actuator that we ordered through Kiwi Motion looks and performs great. Swiss quality!
Well Specified Linear Actuators
The actuator runs smoother and quieter than previously used actuators. Also, it runs faster from start, so we can drive faster.

Superb service from start to finish
I can just tell Kiwi what I need and I can trust they will go away and sort the right product at the right time.

Product Details

Ø50mm CF53 Chrome Plated Induction Hardened Linear Bearing Shaft – KM-WV-50
Heavy-duty precision shaft for maximum load handling in harsh industrial environments
The KM-WV-50, 50mm chrome plated linear bearing shaft from Kiwi Motion is designed to deliver exceptional strength, rigidity, and corrosion resistance for the most demanding industrial linear motion applications.
With a substantial 50mm diameter and a high-surface-hardness chrome plated finish, this shaft is ideal for large-scale machinery where extreme mechanical loads, long spans, and harsh environments must be managed without compromising motion precision.
Each KM-WV-50 linear bearing shaft is manufactured from CF53 steel and undergoes induction hardening to achieve a surface hardness of at least 62 HRC.
The hardened outer layer provides excellent resistance to wear and deformation under sustained high-load operation.
The chrome plated finish offers superior protection against corrosion from humidity, coolant spray, washdown, or outdoor exposure.
Precision ground to an h7 tolerance, with roundness controlled within 11 µm and straightness maintained within 0.15 mm per metre, the 50mm chrome plated linear bearing shaft guarantees smooth, precise, and reliable linear motion, even across wide spans and continuous cycles.
Applications for 50mm chrome plated linear bearing shaft
The 50mm KM-WV-50 shaft is ideal for large industrial linear motion assemblies where maximum load handling, corrosion protection, and long-term durability are required. Typical applications include:
- Large CNC machine beds and multi-axis gantries
- Heavy-duty linear transport systems in automated factories
- Structural linear motion platforms exposed to moisture or washdown
- Outdoor linear positioning and inspection systems
- High-capacity material handling and packaging equipment
Thanks to its high stiffness and hardened chrome plated surface, the 50mm chrome plated linear bearing shaft ensures consistent motion accuracy and wear resistance, even in extreme industrial conditions.
Custom Lengths and End Machining Options
Each 50mm shaft is cut to your exact specified length, with a precision tolerance of ±0.1 mm.

This allows quick and seamless integration into new machinery or retrofit builds.
Kiwi Motion also offers a comprehensive custom end machining service.
We can provide shafts with chamfers, threads, flats, tapped holes, or other features to suit your assembly needs, helping streamline production and reduce machining time.
Compatible with Kiwi Motion’s Bearings and Shaft Supports
The 50mm chrome plated shaft is fully compatible with Kiwi Motion’s range of heavy-duty linear bearings.
This ensures precision fitment and long-term mechanical stability, making it easy to design reliable linear motion systems for the toughest environments.
For ultra-heavy-duty linear motion requiring superior rigidity, corrosion resistance, and precision performance, the KM-WV-50 shaft is the ideal choice.
