Product Parameters
Our 20mm linear rods are treated with chrome plating process, and the depth of the chrome plating layer exceeds 10μm, forming a dense anti-rust protective layer to effectively improve corrosion resistance. The supporting optical shafts are divided into two categories: hard shafts and soft shafts. The hardness of the hard shaft reaches about 58°, which is suitable for high-load precision transmission scenarios; the hardness of the soft shaft is about 25°, which is convenient for flexible assembly and adjustment


As a standard specification product, the 20mm linear rod supports customized cutting in length, with the maximum length up to 6 meters, which can fully meet the installation needs of different equipment. If you need shaft processing services, please provide drawings, and we will provide you with precise customized solutions.

Product Supporting Evidence
A Benchmark in Mechanical Transmission – 20mm Linear Shaft
In the field of mechanical transmission, our 20mm linear shaft sets the industry standard with full-chain quality control. From raw material selection to finished product inspection, every step is meticulously monitored to ensure precision performance.
Premium Material Selection: Laying a Solid Foundation
We carefully select 45# high-carbon steel or bearing steel as the base material. Through spectral analysis and mechanical property testing, we ensure that chemical composition, tensile strength, and hardness all exceed national standards, providing a robust foundation for high-precision transmission.
Precision Manufacturing: Micron-Level Accuracy
Equipped with imported German CNC lathes and high-precision grinding machines, we maintain a strict process control of 0.001mm:
- Turning Molding: High-speed cutting technology keeps diameter tolerance within ≤±0.01mm and cylindricity error <0.02mm/m.
- Precision Grinding: CNC cylindrical grinding achieves mirror-polished surfaces with Ra ≤0.8μm and straightness ≤0.05mm/m.
- Composite Processing: Functional structures such as keyways and threads are machined using five-axis linkage milling, with position tolerance ≤0.03mm.
Each process is calibrated in real time by experienced technicians using laser diameter measuring instruments, eliminating cumulative errors.
Comprehensive Quality Inspection: Zero-Defect Control
Our three-level inspection system guarantees millimeter-level precision:
- Dimensional Accuracy: A 0.001mm-level coordinate measuring machine scans 28 key parameters, including diameter, length, and keyway position, with deviation ≤0.005mm from CAD drawings.
- Form & Position Tolerance: Straightness detectors and roundness meters ensure full-length straightness ≤0.03mm and radial runout ≤0.01mm.
- Surface & Hardness Testing: Rockwell hardness testing verifies quenched layer hardness (58±2 HRC for hard shafts), while salt spray testing ensures chrome plating corrosion resistance (≥1000 hours).
From traceable raw materials to final product warehousing, each linear shaft is accompanied by a 23-item quality report, meeting the rigorous demands of high-end equipment such as industrial robots and precision machine tools under military-grade quality control standards.
