Machined Square Shaft

A shaft with a square section for the mating mechanical interface. This square shaft is produced to the specified part drawing. The manufacturing specification includes machining.

Technical Overview

• Part: Square Shaft
• Processing: Machined

Square Shaft Design and Assembly

• Working diameters: define the stepped sections, overall length and the intended mating fits.
• End features: show any threads, keyways, splines or attachment details included in the actual design.
• Axial location: identify shoulders, grooves and reference faces used to position the shaft in the assembly.

Material and Manufacturing Requirements

The material grade is to be defined with the order drawing. Identify the intended equipment and service environment so that the material requirement can be agreed before the manufacturing specification is finalized.

Machining is included in the part specification. The drawing should distinguish functional interfaces from general surfaces and identify the dimensions that must be coordinated with the adjoining components.

Quotation Information

Specify across-flat dimensions, corner geometry, overall length and any transitions to round or threaded sections. Include the drawing revision, required quantity and any sample or inspection documentation needed for approval.
