Hollow Linear Shaft Description
Our Hollow Linear Shafts, also known as Hollow Linear Motion Shafts, are precision-engineered for a wide range of linear motion applications. Made from high-quality Carbon Steel 45#, Bearing Steel GCr15, or Stainless Steel, these shafts are available in diameters from 3mm to 120mm and lengths up to 6000mm, and can be cut to any size according to your specific requirements.
With surface hardness up to HRC58-62 (or customized) and precision levels of g6, h6, h7, f7, or tailored tolerances, our hollow linear motion shafts deliver smooth, stable, and accurate performance.
DLY also provides full customization services, machining shafts according to customers' drawings. All products meet CE, ISO9001, and RoHS standards, and are securely packed in cartons, pallets, or wooden boxes to ensure safe delivery. Whether for 3D printers, automation equipment, robotics, or other linear motion systems, our hollow linear shafts offer lightweight, high-precision, and durable solutions.

DLY Hollow Linear Shaft Key Advantages
Reduced Weight for Moving Structures
The hollow design helps reduce the weight of the shaft, which is useful for moving gantries, lightweight axes, compact automation equipment and systems where lower inertia can improve motion response.
Precision Outer Surface for Linear Bearing Travel
The outer diameter is processed for smooth linear bearing movement. Proper hardness, roundness and tolerance help reduce friction, improve running stability and support consistent motion over long-term operation.
Custom Length and End Machining
DLY supports cutting, customized length, special end processing and drawing-based production. This helps machine builders match the shaft to existing bearing blocks, supports, mounting structures and equipment space.
Flexible Options for Standard and Special Projects
Standard specifications are available for common linear motion designs, while special material, tolerance, wall thickness, surface finish and packaging requirements can be discussed according to order quantity and application conditions.
Function & Application
Hollow linear shafts are often used in equipment where a lighter moving structure is beneficial. Common applications include 3D printers, automation production lines, conveyor systems, light-duty gantry structures, packaging equipment, woodworking machinery, inspection equipment, laboratory devices and custom linear motion mechanisms.
When a machine requires higher load capacity or a long unsupported shaft span, the shaft structure should be reviewed together with bearing spacing, mounting method and allowable deflection. DLY can supply hollow linear shafts as well as standard solid linear shafts, supported linear shaft assemblies and related linear bearing components for different mechanical designs.
