These rods are precision ground and held to a strict straightness tolerance, so they're ready for turning in a lathe.

The matte plating on these rods increases corrosion resistance and wear resistance.

Also known as mild steel, low-carbon steel is easy to machine, form, and weld. It's widely fabricated into parts that don’t require high strength.

Coated with an aluminum-silicon alloy, these sheets resist corrosion while withstanding long-term exposure to high temperatures. Use in drying ovens, furnaces, and smokestacks.

The galvannealed coating allows these steel sheets to be painted without prepping the surface. They're easier to weld and more scratch resistant than zinc-galvanized steel sheets. Use them for outdoor signs, cabinets, and doors.

Also known as mild steel, low-carbon steel is easy to machine, form, and weld. It's widely fabricated into parts that don’t require high strength.

Coated with PVC for corrosion resistance, this carbon steel wire will stand up to outdoor use.

Also known as mild steel, low-carbon steel is easy to machine, form, and weld. It's widely fabricated into parts that don’t require high strength.

Also known as mild steel, low-carbon steel is easy to machine, form, and weld. It's widely fabricated into parts that don’t require high strength.

The lead additive acts as a lubricant, which allows 12L14 carbon steel to withstand very fast machining. It's used to fabricate a wide variety of machine parts.

Often called Stressproof, these rods are stress-relieved to minimize warping during machining.

Also known as Fatigueproof, these rods have enhanced strength and resistance to breaking from repeated impact compared to High-Strength Easy-to-Machine 1144 Carbon Steel Rods.

Precision ground and held to a strict tightness tolerance, these rods are ready for turning in a lathe.

1117 carbon steel responds to surface-hardening heat treatment better than other easy-to-machine carbon steels. Use it to fabricate shaft couplings, studs, pins, and universal joints.

This UHSS (ultra high-strength steel) allows you to fabricate high-strength parts using thinner material than you could with other types of steel. It is formable, weldable, and more economical than alloy steel.

Also known as music wire.

Also known as blue-tempered steel.

These sheets have a softened temper, which is also known as annealed, so they can be easily formed into shape and then heat treated for spring properties.

Containing more carbon than low-carbon steel—but less than 1095 spring steel—1050 spring steel is easily formed into parts such as washers, brackets, and springs before being hardened for use.

Eight times straighter than standard rotary shafts, these tight-tolerance shafts minimize vibrations and reduce wear to bearings and other components. They also have diameter tolerances that are twice as tight as standard rotary shafts.

In addition to diameter tolerances that are twice as tight as standard keyed shafts, these shafts include a traceable lot number and test report. Use them with machine keys to transmit torque to gears, sprockets, and other power transmission components.

A flat surface area allows set screws to dig into the shaft for securely mounting gears, sprockets, and bearings.

Thread these shafts into a tapped hole to support idler sprockets and pulleys in tensioning applications.

Connect these internally threaded shafts directly to threaded components, or use a fastener to secure.

Attach threaded accessories, such as mixer propellers and fan blades, to the end of these shafts.

Lighter than solid shafts, hollow shafts reduce your total system weight and allow you to run various media such as electrical wiring, compressed air tubing, coolants, or lubricants through the center.

Mount these externally threaded shafts into tapped holes rather than using a shaft support, or attach a hex nut, shaft collar, or other threaded accessory.

With 2" of each end softened, it's easier to machine a custom end for mounting. The rest of the shaft is case-hardened, which increases hardness and wear resistance on the surface of the shaft while allowing the center to remain soft for absorbing stresses caused by shifting loads.

Replace worn shafts in two-piece support-rail shaft systems, or mate with a support rail to create your own. The tapped mounting holes match those on our Support Rails.

Designed for use with right-hand, externally threaded rod ends, these rods have right-hand threads on both ends. Use them for remote valve operators, throttle controllers, shifting mechanisms, and virtually any push/pull assembly.

Similar to turnbuckles, these rods have right-hand threads on one end and left-hand threads on the other so you can make a linkage that adjusts for tension. Add right- and left-hand threaded rod ends to build your linkages.

Multiple thread channels (also known as thread starts) create faster linear travel than lead screws with a single thread start.

Found in hand-powered clamps, vises, grates, doors, and work tables, lead screws and nuts have broad, square threads that are well suited for quick assembly, high clamping forces, and lifting and lowering heavy objects.

Also known as single-start ball screws and nuts, these have a single thread that runs the length of the screw. They operate with more torque than fast-travel ball screws and nuts.

Install these threaded collars on a metric lead screw to separate and position components, or use them as an end stop to limit travel.

Mount these two-piece collars anywhere on an Acme lead screw without removing components.

A crisscross thread pattern allows you to drive the nut back and forth without changing the lead screw's direction of rotation. When the nut reaches one end of the lead screw, it changes direction and travels back to the other end.
