CF53 Steel Hardened Ground Linear Shaft
KM-W Custom length CF53 Steel Induction Hardened Linear Shaft
The CF53 induction hardened linear shaft, known as KM-W by Kiwi Motion, is our most popular and widely stocked product. Renowned for its resilience and cost-effectiveness, it pairs perfectly with our linear bearings. Our bespoke machining and cutting facilities, along with our commitment to quality, ensure that we provide the best linear shafts across the UK, Ireland, and beyond.
The Process
Our linear shafts undergo induction hardening, a heat treatment process where the shaft is heated by induction and then quenched. This treatment enhances the shaft’s hardness and durability, setting it apart from standard steel rods.
The process increases the hardness and brittleness of the shafts, necessitating considerable expertise and experience in cutting and machining to ensure precision and quality.
We insist on the highest standards for our linear shafts, striving for consistency and excellence. This ensures optimal performance with minimal wear, low maintenance, and long life by maintaining high levels of straightness, surface hardening, diameter accuracy, surface finish, and material cleanliness.
Customised to Your Requirements
While we stock linear shafts in standard lengths, we also offer custom cutting and machining services to meet your specific needs.
