Outstanding Precision and Finish

Engineered for high precision, each shaft undergoes induction hardening and centerless grinding, ensuring minimal straightness deviation (better than 0.1 mm per meter) and superior roundness (within 0.001 mm). The mirror-like surface, with Ra 0.2 micron maximum, provides a smooth, low-friction interface ideal for high-performance applications.

Superior Durability and Corrosion Resistance

Protected by a hard chrome layer (25150 microns), the shafts exhibit remarkable corrosion resistance and surface hardness (6065 HRC), making them suitable for prolonged operation in demanding environments. The excellent adhesion of chrome ensures longevity and reductions in maintenance, safeguarding machinery and optimizing performance.

Wide Range of Customization and Applications

Available in diameters from 8 mm to 150 mm and lengths from 500 mm to 6000 mm, these shafts cater to various needs across hydraulic, pneumatic, automation, and injection molding sectors. Custom tolerances, hardness, and special packaging (anti-rust oil coated, seaworthy) can be supplied on request, ensuring tailored fitment and reliability wherever you operate.

FAQs of Hard Chrome Plated Shafts:

Q: How are the hard chrome plated shafts manufactured to achieve such high precision and straightness?

A: The shafts are produced using a combination of induction hardening and centerless grinding processes. This meticulous manufacturing ensures straightness better than 0.1 mm per meter and roundness within 0.001 mm, while imparting excellent durability and high precision to meet industrial requirements.

Q: What applications are most suitable for these chrome plated shafts?

A: These shafts are ideal for hydraulic and pneumatic cylinder rods, automation equipment, and injection molding machinery due to their high surface finish, straightness, and corrosion resistance. Their strength and precision also make them well-suited for various industrial automation and mechanical setups.

Q: When should I consider customizing the shafts size, tolerance, or hardness?

A: Customization is recommended when your application requires specific dimensions, tolerances (such as ISO h6 or g6), or different hardness levels to ensure optimal performance and proper fitment. Our manufacturing can tailor these aspects to align perfectly with your operational needs.

Q: What benefits does the chrome layer provide for these shafts?

A: The hard chrome plating offers high corrosion resistance, surface hardness of 6065 HRC, and a smooth mirror finish, reducing friction and wear. The excellent bonding to the base material prolongs shaft life, minimizes maintenance, and enhances reliability in demanding environments.

Q: Where are these shafts manufactured and exported from?

A: The shafts are manufactured in India, adhering to stringent quality standards for global export. As reputable manufacturers, suppliers, and exporters, we ensure reliable delivery and support to customers worldwide, including anti-rust oil and seaworthy packaging for secure transit.

Q: How does the anti-rust oil coating and seaworthy packing benefit transportation and storage?

A: Anti-rust oil protects the shafts from oxidation during storage and transit, while seaworthy packaging shields them from moisture and handling damage during export, ensuring that the product maintains integrity and arrives in optimal condition.
