About MISUMI Linear Shafts

MISUMI Linear Shafts are precision-ground guide rods for linear bushings, bearings and support blocks. Solid, hollow, stepped and threaded configurations are available in selectable diameters, lengths, materials, hardness and surface treatments.

The shafts form the rigid guide element in slides, actuators, robot tooling, inspection fixtures and machine frames. MISUMI’s configurable ordering system lets designers specify end machining and mounting details for direct assembly. Compatible bushings, collars and shaft supports complete the linear-motion structure.
