Product Description:

The Beckhoff PS 163C 0.737-L1 is a high-precision shaft to be used in PS Power Supplies and a variety of industrial automation systems.

This precision shaft is designed for use in areas where high tolerances, impeccable straightness, and smooth surface finish are key to the successful performance of equipment. With a 0.737-inch diameter and a model of typical length being denoted as “L1” variant (usually 12 inches, or customized to order), this shaft is appropriate for usage in linear motion assemblies, servo drive systems, or rotational mechanisms to have low runouts and high load stability. Constructed of high-strength steel, the PS163C0.737-L1 is ground and polished to maintain the same degree of surface finish and provide for easy movement. The tolerance on a diameter is ±0.0002 inches, allowing a positive interference fit to mating parts like bearings or couplings. The shaft complies with a straightness tolerance of 0.001 inch per foot, so it is an ideal fit for linear motion accuracy requirements. Its concentricity tolerance is ≤0.0005 inches (12.7 µm) rated; thereby, providing a balanced rotation and reduced vibration-unbalanced rotation and vibration in dynamic systems.

With the Rockwell hardness of RC 60–65, the shaft can sustain high loads of mechanical stress and wear and, as such, is appropriate for a long-term, high-cycle functioning. The surface roughness is held within the range of 8–16 microinches Ra, which allows for lowered friction and more bearing durability. Although standard steel is used, corrosion-resistant treatments of optional application are available according to the requirements of the environment. End types are chamfer or debur, which upgrade ease and safety in assembly. The shaft complies with RoHS, which means it meets all applicable safety and environmental standards. A request for a keyway option is viable, whereby a customized capability is provided for torque transmission needs.
