A shaft rod transmits rotational or linear force between drive components — wheels, gears, pulleys, and couplers all mount onto the shaft and rotate with it. This Steel Shaft Rod with Dual Mounting Holes uses magnetic alloy steel, which combines the structural strength needed for drive loads with machinability that keeps the shaft straight and true across its 205mm length. At 5.5mm diameter, the rod fits standard 5mm and 6mm bearing inner rings with minimal clearance, which keeps lateral wobble out of wheel and gear assemblies mounted along its length.
The two mounting holes drilled near each end are the critical feature for robotics builds. Dual Mounting Holes for Robotics allow the shaft to fix into frame brackets, chassis side plates, and bearing blocks without relying solely on friction or set screws through couplers. That mechanical fastening prevents axial drift — where the shaft slides sideways under load and pulls the wheel or gear out of alignment. The polished corrosion-resistant surface finish reduces static friction at bearing contact points, allowing bearings to seat correctly without scoring the shaft surface during assembly.
The steel shaft rod suits wheeled robot drive axles, conveyor roller builds, and linear slide guide applications where shaft straightness and mounting rigidity matter. Available from StemVolt, this unit is suitable for engineers working on robotics drive systems and structural mechanics projects.
