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.

Ø60mm CF53 Chrome Plated Induction Hardened Linear Bearing Shaft – KM-WV-60
Ultra-heavy-duty precision shaft for extreme load handling and harsh environments
The KM-WV-60, 60mm chrome plated linear bearing shaft from Kiwi Motion is the largest and most robust shaft in our chrome plated induction hardened range.
Engineered for maximum strength, rigidity, and corrosion resistance, this 60 mm diameter shaft is designed to perform in the most demanding linear motion applications where extreme mechanical loads, wide spans, and harsh environments are a constant challenge.
Manufactured from CF53 steel, the KM-WV-60 shaft is induction hardened to achieve a minimum surface hardness of 62 HRC, providing outstanding wear resistance even under continuous cycling and heavy load operation.
The chrome plated surface protects against corrosion caused by humidity, coolant spray, washdown processes, or outdoor exposure, ensuring consistent long-term performance.
The 60mm chrome plated linear bearing shaft is precision ground to an h7 tolerance, with roundness controlled within 13 µm and straightness maintained within 0.15 mm per metre, delivering smooth, accurate linear motion with low friction even across extended spans.
Applications for the KM-WV-60 Linear Shaft
The 60 mm KM-WV-60 linear bearing shaft is specifically engineered for ultra-heavy-duty industrial linear motion assemblies where superior rigidity, corrosion protection, and precise motion are essential. Common applications include:
- Large structural linear transport systems in heavy industry
- Gantry systems for high-capacity CNC machining or automated welding
- Industrial presses, forming machines, and material handling equipment
- Outdoor linear positioning and large-scale inspection systems
- Food processing and packaging machinery with rigorous washdown requirements
With its extreme stiffness and hardened chrome plated surface, the 60mm chrome plated linear bearing shaft delivers long-lasting performance and precise motion control, even in the most punishing operational environments.
Custom Lengths and End Machining Options
Each 60mm chrome plated linear bearing shaft is cut to your exact specified length, with a precision tolerance of ±0.1 mm.
This ensures simple, accurate integration into new or retrofit assemblies. For complex applications, Kiwi Motion offers a full custom end machining service.
We can supply shafts with chamfers, threads, flats, tapped holes, or other features to suit your exact requirements, helping reduce in-house machining time and speed up assembly.
Compatible with Kiwi Motion’s Bearings and Shaft Supports
The KM-WV-60 shaft is fully compatible with Kiwi Motion’s heavy-duty linear bearings, ensuring reliable fitment and stable long-term system performance.
This makes it easy to build large-scale linear motion systems that maintain accuracy and durability even in corrosive or high-load environments.
For extreme load handling, maximum rigidity, and superior corrosion resistance, the KM-WV-60 shaft is the ultimate solution.
