It measures 0.5 inches in diameter and 14 inches in overall length, ground to a tight diameter tolerance of 0.4990 to 0.4995 inches. This shaft is designed for use in linear motion systems where precise dimensional control is required. Mechanical and maintenance technicians install this type of shafting in linear bearing assemblies, guide systems, and motion-control applications across industrial and commercial equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis shafting is suited for residential and commercial linear motion assemblies including actuator stages, slide mechanisms, and support rail systems. The close tolerance ground finish allows direct compatibility with standard linear bearings and bushings sized for 0.5 inch nominal shaft diameter. It is commonly installed in automation equipment, medical devices, packaging machinery, and general industrial systems where controlled linear movement is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.5 inch nominal diameter ground to 0.4990 to 0.4995 inch tolerance for precise bearing fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1566 grade steel construction for high strength and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSurface hardness of 60 to 65 HRC supports use with hardened linear bearings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e14 inch overall length suits a range of compact to mid-length linear motion stages\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard shaft type compatible with common linear bearing and bushing assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation shaft for standard linear motion assemblies using 0.5 inch nominal bore linear bearings and bushings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or maintenance professionals working on linear motion systems. De-energize and lock out all equipment before removing or installing shafting. Use proper shaft alignment tools to ensure the shaft seats squarely within bearing supports to avoid premature wear. Handle ground shaft surfaces with care to prevent nicks or surface damage that could affect bearing performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShaft Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4990 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4995 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1566\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 60 to 65 HRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.77 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: THOMSON INDUSTRIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 L CTL 14\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"THOMSON INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67909768675634,"sku":"1\/2 L CTL 14","price":39.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/936323116bd138bd5acb643b0c3ae47b_d01d8b01-877e-45f6-addd-eb21fb474f04.jpg?v=1791191875","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/thomson-industries-1-2-l-ctl-14-round-linear-shaft","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
