Material designation
01
State the requested shaft or tube material designation and the applicable material standard. Equivalent grades should be reviewed against the drawing and agreed in writing rather than assumed to be interchangeable.

OUR APPROACH
Induction hardened and ground steel is its own supply condition. Chrome thickness and salt-spray classes are not carried over from plated products.
The result is a written set of requirements for your order — material, dimensions, surface condition and agreed inspection records.

TECHNICAL REFERENCE
Product specifications.
| Parameter | Reference value | Application / confirmation |
|---|---|---|
| Shaft — reference grades | C35 · C45 · 42CrMo(S)4 · 20MnV(S)6 · 38MnV(S)6 | Confirm the order requirement with your quotation. |
| Shaft — diameter | 10–160 mm | Confirm the order requirement with your quotation. |
| Shaft — tolerance options | f6 / f7 / h6 / h7 | Choose one tolerance; these are not simultaneous specifications. |
| Shaft — hardened-layer hardness | 42–62 HRC | Catalogue page 18. |
| Shaft — depth by diameter | Ø10: 0.7–0.9; Ø12–18: 0.9–1.1; Ø20–30: 1.2–1.4; Ø30–60: 1.4–2.5; Ø60–80: 2.5–2.7; Ø80–160: 3.2–5.0 mm | Source diameter bands overlap at their boundaries and omit some sizes. Confirm the exact diameter, grade and effective-depth criterion. |
| Tube — reference grades | E355 / C45 / C60 | Catalogue page 19. Not restricted to the E355+SR chrome plated tube family. |
| Tube — tolerance | f7 | Confirm the order requirement with your quotation. |
| Tube — hardened-layer hardness | 32–62 HRC | Tube family reference from catalogue page 19; not the solid-shaft range. |
| Tube — depth by diameter | Ø10: 0.7–0.9; Ø12–18: 0.9–1.1; Ø20–30: 1.2–1.4; Ø30–60: 1.4–2.5; Ø60–80: 2.5–2.7; Ø80–160: 3.2–5.0 mm | Source diameter bands overlap at their boundaries and omit some sizes. Confirm the exact diameter, grade and effective-depth criterion. |
| Surface condition | Induction hardened and ground | Unplated reference family. No chrome-layer hardness or NSS performance is assumed. |
| Straightness / roughness / length | Confirm for the order | The reference does not define one universal value for these fields. |
WHAT TO SPECIFY
Specify one size or several drawing references. Confirm the material, dimensional tolerances, finish and documentation for each line item before an order is agreed.
Dimensions & tolerances
02
Provide diameter, length and the tolerances that affect fit and assembly. Include any straightness, roundness or related geometric requirements shown on your drawing so the complete dimensional scope can be confirmed.
Hardened substrate
03
Define shaft or tube, material, hardness, depth and ground finish. Chrome plating is not assumed.
Surface roughness
04
State the required surface roughness and the surface to be measured. If the drawing includes a measurement method, sampling length or acceptance limit, include it with the enquiry for confirmation.
End details
05
Cutting, turning, drilling, tapping, chamfering and end machining can be specified. Include threads, shoulders, holes and the current drawing revision so finished dimensions remain clear.
Inspection documents
06
Request an MTC or EN 10204 3.1 inspection certificate with the inquiry when required. Confirm document scope, material condition and traceability alongside dimensional, roughness, hardness and geometric inspection requirements.
Packing requirements
07
Our standard packing is paper wrapping followed by wooden cases. The paper helps protect rod and tube surfaces from scratches, while the outer wooden case helps guard against knocks during handling and transport. Include any special packing requirements with your inquiry.

OUR PROCESS
From drawing review to agreed supply
Each enquiry starts with the drawing and ends with an agreed scope. Material, dimensions, finish and inspection requirements are reviewed together before supply is confirmed.
Step
Drawing review
001
Start with the requirement
Send your drawing, revision, quantity and application. State the requested shaft or tube material condition and any requirements that are not shown on the drawing so the enquiry can be reviewed as a complete specification.
Step
Material review
002
Confirm the designation
Review the requested material standard and delivery condition. Where a grade alternative is proposed, its suitability must be checked against the specified requirements and accepted before it replaces the original material.
Step
Dimensions
003
Define the fit
Check diameter, length and all specified tolerances against the drawing. Record straightness, roundness and end details wherever they affect the intended fit or assembly.
Step
Surface review
004
Confirm the working surface
Review the surface finish and ground-surface requirements. Acceptance limits and the inspection method need to be confirmed against the drawing before an order is agreed.
Step
Order agreement
005
Put the scope in writing
Confirm the reviewed specification, quantity, documentation and packing requirements. Delivery timing and any remaining technical questions must be resolved in the written order agreement.
Step
Release review
006
Match the agreed records
Review the records required by the order alongside the identification and packing details. Any deviation from the agreed scope requires review before the material is accepted for dispatch.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What to confirm before placing your order.
No. This category describes induction hardened and ground steel. Chrome plating is a separate finish and requires a separate specification.
Send your drawing and required parameters for review. Material, dimensions, surface requirements and acceptance criteria are confirmed in the quotation.
Send the exact product, material, delivery condition, dimensions, quantity and drawing. Specify tolerances, roughness, straightness, hardness, inspection records and any special packing requirements.
A drawing can be used to review the material and dimensional requirements. Include the current revision, applicable standards and any supplementary acceptance criteria so open points can be confirmed before ordering.
List each size or drawing reference as a separate line item with its quantity and required condition. The specification, documentation and delivery requirements for each item can then be reviewed clearly.
