Superior Surface Precision

Each shaft is meticulously finished to a surface roughness of Ra 0.2 m or finer. This exceptionally smooth surface reduces friction, enhances wear resistance, and ensures consistent operation in demanding environments such as linear motion guides and hydraulic systems.

Engineered for Durability

Induction hardening combined with a chrome layer of 10 to 30 microns results in core hardness of HV 220-280 and surface hardness of HRC 58-62. This guarantees long-lasting performance, high load capacity, and resistance to deformation and abrasion.

Versatile Application Range

With customizable lengths up to 6000 mm and diameters from 6 mm to 100 mm, these shafts fit a broad spectrum of industrial uses. Precise end conditioning and strong chrome adhesion cater to varied requirements in automation, heavy machinery, and hydraulic applications.

FAQs of Induction Hard Chrome Plated Shafts:

Q: How are induction hard chrome plated shafts manufactured?

A: These shafts are made from high-quality steel, which is heated via induction to achieve core hardness (HV 220-280) and surface hardness (HRC 58-62). A thick layer of hard chrome (1030 microns) is plated, providing superior corrosion resistance and strong adhesion without risk of peeling during tests.

Q: What applications are best suited for these shafts?

A: They are ideal for linear motion components, hydraulic cylinders, and automation equipment. The combination of precise surface finish and high durability makes them suitable for any application requiring accurate movement and high load-bearing capability.

Q: What benefits does the Ra 0.2 m surface finish provide?

A: A surface finish of Ra 0.2 m or finer reduces friction and wear, leading to smoother operation, lower maintenance needs, and extended lifespan in precision machinery and motion systems.

Q: When should I choose a shaft with induction hardening and chrome plating?

A: Select this shaft type when you need exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and consistent performance, especially in harsh environments or where precise movement is essential.

Q: Where are these shafts commonly exported and used?

A: Manufactured in India, these shafts are exported to industries worldwide. They are employed in manufacturing, automation, hydraulic equipment, and other sectors demanding high-precision components.

Q: What is the process for finishing the ends of these shafts?

A: Shaft ends can be chamfered or leveled to your specifications, ensuring compatibility with various mounting or assembly needs in machines and equipment.

Q: Can the shafts be further machined or finished after delivery?

A: Yes, while they are finished ground, these shafts can also be further ground or machined as required for specific assemblies, allowing flexibility for custom applications.
