What is the Impact of Shaft's Quality and Performance?
In general, the technologically enhanced shaft manufacturing process is able to produce high-quality shafts in a cost-efficient manner.
The shaft is important to be high-quality and performance because it’s the crucial part of most equipment.
Having the perfect manufactured shaft can increase the speed, life, and processing power of many critical components involved in the same process.
Many parts related to the aerospace industry and robotics require shafts of tighter tolerances because a single irregularity can cause a complete system failure.
Hence, in order to save equipment from a catastrophic failure and improve its performance, shafts need to be high-quality.
So, every industry needs to understand the importance of high-quality and precise shaft manufacturing to achieve tighter tolerances.
What is the Impact of Precision Shaft's tolerance?
The shaft works in an environment along with other connected parts that transfer power by operating with one another at the same time.
Hence, it is important to identify the shafts manufactured to be within the acceptable alignment tolerance.
The tolerance and precision in shaft manufacturing can be responsible for:
- Increase Operating Time
- Increase Productivity
- Increase production Quality
Furthermore, achieving tighter tolerances with precision shaft manufacturing can eliminate the risk of size differences.
Precision manufacturing also a more cost-effective way of producing shafts with extremely tighter tolerances.
What are the Materials for Shaft?
High-quality industrial-grade materials that are able to handle and transmit power with utmost performance are perfect for shaft manufacturing.
It’s important to understand the material type for shaft manufacturing to achieve high performance.
Shaft manufacturing only prioritizes industrial-grade materials that have the following properties:

What is the Shaft Machining Process Utilized by DEK?
At DEK, our first step is to detail study your shaft machining requirements before taking any further steps.
DEK’s engineers finalize the shaft’s design through a simulation design that will clear the following things:
- How long the shaft’s machining process will be
- A good estimation of price
- What things to prioritize
Sometimes, shafts with complex designs require utmost precision and tighter tolerances, so the DEK priority shafts according to what is required by the customers.
After an in-detail study of the shaft, DEK starts the shaft machining process.
Moreover, DEK uses many shaft machining processes, and some of them are following:
CNC Turning
It is the most common shaft manufacturing process that involves specialized tools that perform rotational cutting to create and shape the shaft.
The process of CNC turning starts from placing the material in a chuck and rotate against a tool that removes the material to create a shape.
Because of its material removal technique in a rotational mode, it is also called subtraction machining.
Auto Lathe
It is an automatic shaft machining process with a repeating cycle to produce duplicate shafts.
An automatic lathe is a technological-enhanced machining process that involves high-speed cutting tools.
DEK use the auto lathe for the following reasons:
- When production requirements are high
- High-performance with exceptional precision is achievable
High dimensional control accuracy is achievable
It values accuracy and precision. This shaft manufacturing process uses a spinning wheel that consists of tools that shape the shaft by removing the excess material.
There is a number of techniques that fall under precision grinding.
Precision grinding is the most valuable when it comes to achieving a high surface quality finish with extreme tighter tolerances.
Mixed Machining Processes
Some shaft designs require multiple machining processes because of the complexity involved.

Shafts are known to have exceptional precision and extreme performance even under complex environments.
Environments and equipment affect the shaft’s performance the most.
In order to get a smooth transmission, the shaft’s end plays an important part.
A standard shaft has a left end and a right end that work as a sealing function and is necessary to maximize the equipment’s performance.
The shafts can be linear or rotary and can have different shaft end shapes.
The following are the shaft’s end shapes DEK offers:
No Machining
Most importantly, DEK can process your requirements related to custom shaft’s end shapes.
At DEK, we believe that a perfectly shaped shaft end is a perfect solution to meet your specific requirements related to maximizing sealing and bearing.
What tolerance of Shaft Diameter Can You Achieve?
In general, the standard shaft tolerance required by general applications is within ±0.05mm.
However, DEK considers this value risk and also that it can limit the shaft’s performance.
At DEK, we know that shaft tolerance within ±0.002mm is perfect and achievable.
Even for the shafts with utmost complexity, DEK can reach a diameter tolerance of ±0.001mm.
DEK is good at processing ultra-precision shafts that some industries like robotics and aerospace required the most.
What diameter tolerance your shaft required depends on the complexity involved in its design and application.
After a detailed study and review of your shafts design, DEK finalizes the requirements and give you the best results possible.
Please send us an inquiry, so our expert staff can give you a perfect solution based on your needs.
How the DEK Achieve Tighter Tolerances?
It is important for a shaft manufacturer to work with dimensional tolerances.
The shaft’s accuracy and precision depend on its dimensional tolerance, and achieving tighter tolerances can help optimize the shaft’s performance.
At DEK, our latest technology and state-of-the-art machining equipment help us machine extremely complex shafts with tighter tolerances.
DEK’s machining processes are fully optimized and can even achieve the tighter tolerances of ±0.001mm without facing any causalities.
Our fully optimized shaft manufacturing process means:
- Elimination of extra processes

- Avoid reputational damage
- Anticipate production delays
- Optimize shaft’s quality
- Involved quality intelligence identify minor issues
- Improve shaft flexibility and manage performance
Prevention from errors through precision shaft manufacturing is better and more effective than damage control.
Hence, DEK also monitors every process involved in shaft manufacturing to output parts that are exceptional in quality and performance.
Whether the Shaft Can be Coated or Not?
There are some post-processes of shaft manufacturing and includes coating and surface finishing.
Coating shafts can further increase their mechanical and physical properties that automatically affect their performance and quality.
Different coatings can increase the various material properties. Your requirements can help to select the most suitable coating for shafts.
A perfect coating can protect the shaft from corrosion and can increase its flexibility, strength, and hardness.
The following are some coating options for shafts:
- PVD Coating
- Electrodeposited Coating
- Black Oxide
- E-Coat
- Powder Coat
- Dielectric Coat
Some shaft materials provide lesser hardness, resistance to certain elements, and many more.
Hence, eliminating these material drawbacks through the coating is the perfect solution to achieve maximum performance.
How does Shaft Vulnerable Against Corrosion and Acid?
It is important for a shaft to provide resistance against corrosion and acid.
In general, shafts need to adopt the acidic or alkali environment in some applications.
The shaft material like stainless steel provides resistance against corrosion and acid naturally, and that’s also one of the many reasons behind its high performance and longer life-span.
Shafts can be vulnerable to corrosion and acid because of the following reasons:
- Because of the natural properties of the material
- Because of the shaft manufacturing process
- Because of the shaft’s coating and surface finishes
How Important Consistent Lead Times and Cost Optimization for Shaft Manufacturer?
