Designed for high-speed lathes and CNC lathes, this alloy-steel shaft is heat treated to deliver reliable precision and long service life. Key benefits Precision at high speed: Engineered to maintain concentricity and stability at high spindle speeds, reducing vibration and improving finished-part accuracy. Durable, wear-resistant construction: Made from alloy steel with heat treatment to increase hardness and resist surface wear during extended production runs. High strength and hardness: Material and treatment improve load capacity and resistance to deformation under cutting forces. Easy to use and maintain: Straightforward installation and long intervals between replacements lower downtime and maintenance costs. Broad compatibility: Specifically designed for use in high-speed lathes and CNC lathes; fits standard shaft applications (verify machine fitment before installation). Performance and function Function: Acts as a core rotating element in turning operations, providing a stable mounting surface for chucks, fixtures, or toolholders and transferring torque with minimal deflection. Material: Alloy steel, heat treated for improved mechanical properties without compromising machinability. Expected outcome: Better surface finish, tighter tolerances, and reduced scrap rates compared with untreated or lower-grade shafts. Practical advantages Reduces the frequency of shaft replacement and associated labor costs. Lowers the risk of downtime caused by wear-related failures. Helps maintain consistent part quality across long production runs. Typical applications Automotive parts machining: Precision turning of shafts, bushings, and components on high-speed production lathes where consistent concentricity and wear resistance are required. Aerospace and industrial components: Machining of small-to-medium complex parts on CNC lathes that demand high strength and dimensional stability. High-volume manufacturing: Continuous production environments where reduced maintenance and longer service life improve throughput and lower operating costs. Installation and care Install following your machine manufacturer’s alignment and torque procedures. Periodically inspect for wear and runout; recondition or replace when specified tolerances are exceeded. Use compatible lubricants and follow recommended maintenance schedules to maximize life. Specification notes Material: alloy steel with heat treatment (as supplied). Application: high-speed lathes and CNC lathes. Confirm size and fitment against your machine model before ordering. If you need additional compatibility details or assistance confirming fitment for a specific lathe model, provide your machine make and model to ensure correct selection.
