Linear motion shafts work with linear bearings to reduce friction in manual and automated systems, such as those found in packing, machine tool, and material handling operations. The smooth surface reduces friction and wears on the bearing. At MECxel, the shaft's surface smoothness is measured in microinches—the lower the microinch value a shaft has, the smoother its finish and the less friction it will create.

Rotary shafts are used for a variety of power transmission applications, primarily as drive shafts or as axles for spinning equipment. We at MECxel ensure precision by turning, grounding, and polishing our shafts to meet tight diameter and straightness tolerances.
