Precision shafts
Precision linear shafts represent an important category of linear guidance elements. In combination with shaft support blocks, housing units, linear ball bearings, and other accessories, they form a reliable and cost-effective linear motion system.
Linear systems based on precision shafts are widely used in variety of applications where, there is precise linear motion required- from automation and robotics to CNC machines and industrial positioning applications.
