"Linear Shafts Quickly" Program Enables Standard Length
Straight Shafts to Ship Next Day

December 10, 2007

Schaumburg, IL-MISUMI USA, Inc. announces its standard length straight shafts are now stocked and ready to ship in one day. Designed to meet the needs of customers who promptly require a standard straight shaft, the "Linear Shafts Quickly" program includes 450 straight shaft types and competitive pricing for the entire product line.

MISUMI Linear Shafts are known for high quality due to a hardening process that produces a controlled and consistent hardening depth. This prevents uneven hardening, which can lead to breakage during machining.

The "Linear Shafts Quickly" program enables engineers to order standard straight shafts from a supplier known for its extensive line of configurable machined shafts. The configurable linear shaft allows the engineer to specify critical dimensions through various design parameters. Now MISUMI features 198 of the most popular straight and tapped configurations available as a standard stock item.

When compared to previous one day express manufacturing options the "Linear Shafts Quickly" program allows you to save up to 65% cost for standard straight shafts. The ability to obtain standard straight shafts and configured machined shafts from a single source provider empowers engineers to quickly satisfy all linear shaft needs.

Metric stocked shafts include 52100 Chrome Plated Bearing Steel and 440C Stainless Steel materials. In addition, Inch stocked shafts include 1060 Steel and 440C Stainless Steel materials. One day shipment and prices as low as $1.70 are standard for MISUMI linear shafts.
