Grooved shafts feature machined grooves that are specially designed to accommodate retaining rings. These grooved shafts feature two grooves at one end that are spaced to fit common ball bearing widths. The opposite end of retaining ring shafts feature multiple grooves, allowing users to position components as their application requires. Our GSR Series retaining ring shafts are manufactured from top quality 303 stainless steel for strength, durability, and corrosion resistance. Available in standard diameters from 1/4” to 1” and standard lengths from 3” to 12”. Order retaining ring grooved shafts for your application, or contact us to learn more. 

 

GSR Series Grooved Shafts

Retaining ring shafts align mechanical parts and are used as a drive shaft or axle in power transmission applications. The grooves allow for a variety of shaft positions, providing a flexible solution for your mechanical needs. Right shafts are ideal for prototypes and widely used in industrial automation machinery such as motors, gearboxes, and other drive components.
 
We also offer retaining rings for shafts that install into the grooves of a grooved shaft to hold components and assemblies in place. Our retainer rings are made from PH15-7 stainless steel and available for shaft diameters from 1/4” to 1”. Shim spacers are also available in 1/64” thickness and feature 18-8 stainless steel construction.
