Frequently Asked Questions

Expert answers to common motor shaft manufacturing questions

What tolerances can you achieve on motor shafts?

We can achieve tolerances as tight as ±0.0001″ (±0.0025mm) on critical dimensions such as bearing journals and coupling interfaces. Standard production tolerances are typically ±0.001″ to ±0.005″ depending on the feature and application requirements.

What materials do you recommend for high-speed motor applications?

For high-speed applications, we recommend alloy steels like 4140 or 4340 for their excellent strength-to-weight ratio and fatigue resistance. For corrosive environments, 17-4 PH stainless steel provides both strength and corrosion resistance. Material selection depends on speed, load, environment, and balancing requirements.

Do you provide balancing services for motor shafts?

Yes, we provide both static and dynamic balancing services up to 50,000 RPM. Our balancing capabilities meet ISO 1940 standards from G0.4 (ultra-precision) to G400 (heavy industrial). We can balance individual shafts or complete rotor assemblies including magnets and laminations.

What is your typical lead time for custom motor shafts?

Standard lead times range from 2-6 weeks depending on complexity, quantity, and material requirements. Rush orders can often be accommodated in 3-5 days for an additional fee. Heat treatment and balancing may add 1-2 weeks to the schedule depending on the specific requirements.

Can you machine shafts from customer-supplied materials?

Yes, we can machine shafts from customer-supplied materials. We require a material certification and recommend providing 10-20% extra material to account for setup and potential issues. We’ll perform incoming inspection to verify material condition and chemistry before machining.

What quality certifications do you maintain?

We maintain ISO 9001:2015 quality management system certification and AS9100D for aerospace applications. Our quality system includes full traceability, documented procedures, and calibrated measurement equipment. We provide certificates of compliance with all shipments.

Do you offer design assistance for motor shaft optimization?

Yes, our engineering team provides design consultation including stress analysis, material selection, manufacturing optimization, and cost reduction recommendations. We can work from your prints or collaborate on the complete design from concept to production.

What surface finish specifications can you achieve?

We can achieve surface finishes from Ra 0.1μm to Ra 3.2μm depending on the machining process and requirements. Precision grinding typically achieves Ra 0.1-0.4μm, while fine turning can reach Ra 0.8-1.6μm. Special applications may require super-finishing or lapping for even finer finishes.
