What Is a Slide Shaft?
A slide shaft is a component used to guide either linear or vertical motion of equipment.
Since bearings (slide ball bearings, metal bearings, plastic bearings, etc.) are mounted on the shaft, the shaft itself serves as the inner ring of the bearing. Due to their installation on parts subject to repeated motion, they exhibit excellent wear resistance. They are often used in combination with other parts and must meet stringent geometric tolerance standards such as cylindricity and roundness.
Uses of Slide Shafts
Slide shafts find applications in a wide range of fields, including piston rods for hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, hydraulic and pneumatic equipment, construction machinery, molding machines, special vehicles, and various factory automation equipment. They serve as critical components in various industrial machines and robots.
Choice of shaft material, plating type (non-tempered high-strength steel plated, stainless steel plated, etc.), plating hardness, outside diameter tolerance, surface roughness, and curvature depend on the intended use.
