10mm Hard Chrome Plated Linear Rod
The DLY WDCS10 is a 10mm precision solid linear rod manufactured from GCr15 bearing steel. Its hardened and hard chrome plated surface provides the dimensional consistency, surface finish and wear resistance required for use with linear bearings and other round-shaft guiding components.
With a compact 10mm shaft diameter, this model is commonly selected for small automation mechanisms, positioning equipment, 3D printers, inspection devices and other linear motion assemblies where installation space is limited.

Standard Lengths for the 10mm Linear Rod
WDCS10 is available in a range of standard lengths, allowing the shaft length to be selected according to the equipment stroke and installation structure.
| Standard Lengths | 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1200, 1500, 1800 and 2000 mm |
|---|---|
| Cut-to-Length Range | 1000–7000 mm, subject to order confirmation |
| End Machining | Available according to customer drawings |
For long, unsupported installations, shaft deflection should be evaluated according to the span, load and support arrangement. If the application requires greater rigidity over a long travel distance, a supported linear shaft may be more suitable.

Key Features of WDCS10
Controlled g6 Shaft Diameter
The WDCS10 diameter is controlled between 9.986 and 9.995 mm. This g6 tolerance is suitable for fitting with compatible 10mm linear bearings and shaft-support components. The complete bearing and housing fit should still be confirmed according to the required clearance and operating conditions.
Hardened GCr15 Bearing Steel
GCr15 bearing steel and HRC62±2 hardness provide a durable running surface for rolling linear bearings. The effective hardened layer of the WDCS10 model is 1 mm.
Hard Chrome Plated Surface
The hard chrome plated surface helps improve wear resistance and protect the shaft surface during normal industrial use. For environments involving high humidity, chemicals or special corrosion requirements, the operating conditions should be provided before the material and surface treatment are selected.
Controlled Surface Finish and Straightness
Surface roughness of Ra0.4–0.8 supports stable contact with compatible linear bearings. Straightness within 5 μm per 100 mm helps reduce alignment variation in compact linear motion assemblies.
Typical Applications
The 10mm linear rod can be used in compact equipment such as:
- Small automation modules and positioning mechanisms
- 3D printers and light-duty CNC assemblies
- Inspection and measuring equipment
- Packaging and small material-handling mechanisms
- Laboratory devices and optical adjustment mechanisms
- Linear bearing and shaft-support assemblies
Matching WDCS10 with Linear Bearings
The WDCS10 shaft diameter is suitable for compatible 10mm linear bearings, including commonly used LM10UU-type bearing dimensions. Before ordering, confirm the bearing bore, internal clearance, housing fit and shaft tolerance required by the complete assembly.
DLY can also supply linear bearings , bearing blocks and shaft supports to reduce matching errors between components.
Cutting and End Machining Options
In addition to standard lengths, the 10mm linear rod can be processed according to a customer drawing. Available operations can include:
- Cutting to the specified overall length
- Stepped shaft-end machining
- Internal or external threading
- Flat and keyway machining
- Drilling, tapping and chamfering
Please provide a dimensioned drawing showing the overall length, machining position, tolerance, thread specification and required quantity for technical confirmation.
10mm Linear Rod FAQ
Q: What material is the WDCS10 linear rod made from?
A: The standard WDCS10 is made from GCr15 bearing steel and has a hard chrome plated surface. Its specified hardness is HRC62±2.
Q: What is the diameter tolerance of the 10mm linear rod?
A: The standard WDCS10 uses a g6 diameter tolerance. For the 10mm nominal diameter, the upper deviation is −0.005 mm and the lower deviation is −0.014 mm, giving an actual diameter range of 9.986–9.995 mm.
Q: What standard lengths are available?
A: Standard WDCS10 lengths are 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1200, 1500, 1800 and 2000 mm. Other cut lengths can be confirmed according to the order requirement.
Q: Can WDCS10 be used with an LM10UU linear bearing?
A: Its 10mm shaft diameter is intended for compatible 10mm linear bearings, including commonly used LM10UU-type dimensions. The required shaft-to-bearing clearance should be checked before final selection.
Q: Can the shaft ends be machined according to a drawing?
A: Yes. DLY supports drawing-based cutting and end machining. Please provide the required length, machining dimensions, tolerances, thread details and order quantity for review.
Q: How should the linear rod be maintained?
A: Keep the shaft surface clean and apply lubricant suitable for the matched linear bearing. Lubrication intervals should be determined according to operating speed, load, stroke, environment and the bearing manufacturer's recommendations.
