A stainless threaded probe shaft, turned with a ground diameter and cut thread. Probe shafts need straightness as much as size, so these are checked for runout along the full length, not just at the ends.
Function and Design
Shafts transmit and locate – and both jobs depend on straightness and bearing-fit diameters. Ours are turned and ground, with runout checked along the full length rather than at the ends only.
What Makes It Work
- Thread depth and form are checked, so the joint takes the load it was designed for.
- No plating to scratch: stainless handles washdown, humidity and process media directly.
- Verified first article, sampled production: the second batch matches the first.
- Material: stainless steel (304 / 316) – confirmed against your drawing before tooling, so the threaded probe shaft matches the print on the first batch.
- Process: turn-mill machining: the threaded probe shaft is turned, then cross-drilled and milled to print, thread turning to gauge.
- Finish: The threaded probe shaft ships natural unless the print calls for plating or coating.
- Size: Size per customer drawing.
- Custom: OEM/ODM to print: the threaded probe shaft quotation includes material advice and tooling cost.
Applications
Typical applications include instrumentation fittings, pneumatic and hydraulic systems, electronic and telecom enclosures.
