The Configurable Component

Why go custom when you can configure?

What is the configurable component? The configurable component is a component that allows the engineer to specify critical dimensions through various design parameters.

For example, configurable linear shafts benefits are:

1. 1.Configurability in 1mm length increments.
2. 2.No drawings--Use our online CAD Configurator to design shafts to your specifications and download native CAD files.
3. 3.Choose from a variety of shaft-end configurations. See below for a sample.
   
4. 4.Standard manufacturing time of 3 days with same day or next day shipping available on some configured shafts.

How do we do it?
