Properties of precision shafts
Corrosion resistant steels
Precision shafts made from X46 or X90 are available for application in e.g. the medical or food industries.
Hard chrome coating
Hard chromed precision shafts are very suitable when high wear resistance and corrosion resistance are required.
Special coatings
Other coatings such as Zn-Fr or special chrome coatings are available on demand.

Different materials, properties, dimensions and tolerances
Per request THN can also supply other materials such as 100Cr6, 42CrMo4 or 50CrV4. In consultation, it is also possible to supply special coatings, dimensions or tolerances. This is usually possible with ready-machined shafts or, if there is sufficient demand, in trade length of approx. 6 meters. THN also has a number of specials in stock. Contact us for the possibilities.
Article code and materials
The composition of the article code for the type, material and size is as follows:
[Type] [Diameter] [Tolerance] [Material] [Extra] X [Length]
| Composition shafts | |
|---|---|
| Type | TS Solid shafts TT Hollow shafts TD Radially pre-drilled shafts |
| Diameter | Nominal diameter in mm or inch |

|---|---|---|---|
| Steel type | Surface hardness HRC | Tensile strength N/mm2 | Surface roughness Ra max. |
| CF53 (1.1213) | min. 59 | ≥ 610 | 0,30 |
| C60 (1.0601) | min. 59 | ≥ 650 | 0,30 |
| X46Cr13 (1.4034) | min. 52 | ≥ 650 | 0,30 |
| X90CrMoV18 (1.4112) | min. 54 | ≥ 750 | 0,30 |
CF53 is the standard material for solid shafts. For hollow shafts C60 will be used.
