· Product Overview

· Core Specifications

• Material: 6061-T6 Aluminum Alloy
  • Density: 2.7g/cm³ (lightweight for reduced system inertia)
  • Tensile Strength: ≥290 MPa (rigid enough for high-torque power transfer)
  • Thermal Conductivity: 167 W/m·K (excellent for heat dissipation in continuous operation)
• Manufacturing Standard: ISO 9001-Certified
  • Key Processes: 5-Axis CNC Milling/Turning → Precision Drilling (mounting/positioning holes) → Deburring → Natural Anodization → CMM Inspection
  • Standard Parameters:
    • Overall Length: 250mm (customizable 150–400mm)
    • Stepped Diameters: 50mm / 40mm / 35mm (customizable to system requirements)
    • Dimensional Tolerance: ±0.01mm (ensures precise mating with gears, bearings, and cam followers)
  • Surface Finish: Natural anodized (scratch-resistant, corrosion-proof, and smooth for low-wear operation)

· Application Scenarios

• Industrial Robotics: Robot arm joint drive shafts, where multi-profile geometry enables synchronized movement and load distribution.
• Automated Manufacturing: Conveyor system cam shafts, indexing drive shafts for assembly lines, or tool changer positioning shafts.
• Aerospace & Defense: Lightweight actuation shafts for aircraft control systems or precision guidance components.
• Medical Equipment: Drive shafts for diagnostic imaging machines or surgical robotics, where accuracy and reliability are critical.
• High-Performance Machinery: Racing vehicle cam shafts, industrial pump drive shafts, or printing press positioning shafts.

· Production Process Introduction

1. Design & Programming: Convert 3D CAD models into optimized 5-axis CNC toolpaths, with engineering validation for load capacity and tolerance stack-up.
2. Material Sourcing: Procure certified 6061-T6 aluminum billets (traceable to quality standards) and cut to blank length.
3. 5-Axis CNC Machining: Use high-precision 5-axis mills to machine the complex multi-stepped profile, cam lobes, and precision holes in a single setup for maximum accuracy.
4. Deburring & Finishing: Remove sharp edges from all surfaces to prevent component wear and ensure safe handling.
5. Natural Anodization: Submerge the shaft in electrolytic baths to enhance corrosion resistance and surface durability.
6. Quality Inspection: Perform CMM dimensional scanning, surface finish analysis, and functional testing to verify compliance with design specifications.

· Packaging and Shipping Methods

• Packaging:
  • Individual Units: Protected with anti-scratch foam padding and sealed in moisture-proof plastic bags, then packed in custom-fitted wooden crates to prevent deformation during transit.
  • Bulk Orders: Secured in foam-lined steel crates with additional bracing for high-volume shipments.
• Shipping Options:
  • Express Delivery (DHL/FedEx): 3–5 business days for prototype or small-quantity orders.
  • Air Freight: 7–10 business days for medium-batch production runs.
  • Sea Freight: 20–25 business days for large-volume bulk orders.All shipments include full tracking and damage insurance.

· Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity): 50 pieces for standard configurations; 20 pieces for custom prototype development.
• Lead Time: 10–15 working days for standard production; 7–10 days for expedited orders (additional fees apply).
• Customization Capability: Full end-to-end customization is supported—we accept 3D CAD files, adjust material grades (e.g., 7075 aluminum for higher strength), modify profile geometry, and refine tolerances to meet your exact requirements. Our engineering team provides design feedback to optimize for manufacturability and performance.
