Precision Shaft Machining for Equipment Manufacturers

Shafts are the backbone of motion systems: motors, drives, actuators, precision assemblies. We machine shafts with controlled diameters, shoulders and features — every critical dimension CMM-verified before it ships.

How we work

From Drawing to Delivered Part

A transparent, engineering-led process built for long-term supply programs — not one-off transactions.

1

Submit & Review

Send drawings and program context. Our engineers run a DFM review and flag tolerances, materials and risk before any cutting begins.

2

Quote & Material Plan

You receive a transparent quote plus a material-verification plan — grade, EN/DIN check and certificate strategy for your application.

3

Machine & Inspect

In-house precision machining, then Zeiss CMM dimensional inspection and spectrometer material verification on critical batches.

4

Deliver & Support

Kitted, ESD-safe or cleanroom packaging, with local engineering and after-sales support through our German partner.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Shafts from Ø 2–65 mm with lengths to 300 mm, including stepped diameters, threads, keyways and cross-drillings machined complete.
Critical diameters and geometric features are verified on our Zeiss CMM. You receive dimensional inspection reports with each batch — plus EN 10204 3.1 material certificates on request.
Yes — send your drawing or a sample's dimensions. We review manufacturability, confirm tolerances and quote; first-article approval precedes any series.
