Hydraulic & reciprocating motion
Review the working surface, wear requirement, rod diameter, stroke, fit and sealing system. A hardened chrome shaft or Q&T chrome bar can be an initial route for evaluation.

Start with the operating condition, then choose material condition and surface
Use this page to narrow the process route. It does not replace drawing and acceptance review; different shafts in the same machine may require entirely different materials and surfaces.
Machine guidance & linear motion
Review straightness, bearing or sliding fit, end geometry and installation. Start by evaluating a chrome-plated linear shaft or another chrome-shaft route.

Where turning, milling, drilling or precision machining follows, confirm machining allowance, material condition and whether Q&T is required. Ground bar, Q&T ground bar or a soft shaft may be starting points.

Start with load, base material, surface requirement and replacement drawing. Do not infer material, hardness or chrome from the old part name alone.

Answer the application question before opening a product detail
| Application clue | Initial route to evaluate |
|---|---|
| Substantial machining after supply | Evaluate a chrome-plated soft shaft, ground bar or Q&T ground bar first |
| Working surface prioritizes wear and guidance | Evaluate a hardened chrome shaft or Q&T chrome bar, then define case, chrome and acceptance |
| 40Cr and Q&T condition are specified | Evaluate a 40Cr Q&T ground bar or 40Cr Q&T chrome-plated bar |
| Linear bearing or guide mechanism | Evaluate a chrome-plated linear shaft and confirm fit, straightness and end geometry |
For early screening only. Final product, parameters, inspection and delivery scope are governed by the confirmed drawing, specification and order.
