Machined from hardened steel with a surface hardness of 60 to 65C (Rockwell), this shaft provides the dimensional consistency that linear bearings, bushings, and guide systems depend on. The shaft measures 16mm in nominal diameter with a tight diameter tolerance range of 0.6295 inches to 0.6299 inches, ensuring reliable fit and repeatable performance. At 48 inches in overall length and 4.224 pounds, it suits a wide range of industrial and trade-level motion system builds and repairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis linear shafting is used in linear motion assemblies found in industrial machinery, automated equipment, HVAC actuator systems, and mechanical drive components. It serves as either an original build component or a replacement shaft in existing linear guide systems. Installers and machine builders specify this part when dimensional accuracy and consistent hardness across the shaft length are required for smooth bearing travel and long service life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard shaft type with 16mm nominal diameter for common linear bearing compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTight diameter tolerance of 0.6295 inches to 0.6299 inches for precise bearing fits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel construction hardened to 60 to 65C (Rockwell C) for wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e48-inch overall length provides flexibility for cutting to required finished lengths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeighs 4.224 pounds  -  manageable for single-person handling and installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style standard round linear shaft for use with linear bearings, bushings, and guide assemblies rated for 16mm shaft diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or industrial maintenance personnel familiar with linear motion systems. Ensure all power and motion sources are locked out and de-energized before removing or installing shafting. Use appropriate shaft supports and alignment tools to prevent binding in bearing assemblies. Cutting to length should be performed with tools appropriate for hardened steel, and cut ends should be deburred before assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShaft Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 48 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6295 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6299 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 60 to 65C (Rockwell C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.224 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: QSM 16 L 48\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"THOMSON INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67911237566770,"sku":"QSM 16 L 48","price":111.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f40dc496edc3bc4ba5885fdf68cc9387_78529345-5098-491b-a434-626605c22434.jpg?v=1791207415","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/thomson-industries-qsm-16-l-48-round-linear-shafting","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
