  • This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.

For more than 50 years, FZE – a preferred supplier and manufacturer for several key industries, including agriculture, professional turf care, recreational marine components, hydraulics, ATV & motorcycles, and many others – has acquired the equipment and developed the skills and expertise to provide modern, cutting-edge technologies in custom machining & fabrication, including CNC shaft machining.

Our shaft machining services include shaft turning, drilling, boring, tapping, threading, burnishing, keyway milling, spline cutting as well as various forms of turning such as contour, form, taper, and straight turning. From multi-axis equipment to custom fixturing and tooling, FZE’s facility houses everything needed to produce highly precise shafts with minimal tolerances of (+/-) .0002″.

FZE can work with more than three dozen types of raw materials, including standard, exotic, and precious metals, plastic polymers, and others such as graphite and ceramic. We can work with a wide variety of part sizes:

  • Diameter: Our minimum part diameter is 0.1″ and our maximum diameter is 15″.
  • Length: The part length needs to be at least 1″ and no more than 60″.
  • Face Groove Depth: The face groove depth cannot exceed 1″.
  • Weight: Our maximum shaft machining weight is 200 lbs.

As a leader in the industry, FZE employs Lights Out / Unmanned and Lean manufacturing processes, as well as Kaizen/5S and Lean Six Sigma Certification, to ensure our clients receive the highest quality products and services manufactured in the most sustainable way possible.

All fabrication and shaft machining jobs require individual attention for accuracy, so please allow the professional and friendly staff at FZE to work on a custom shaft machining quote for your unique requirements. For high priority orders, make sure to ask about our expedited rush and emergency services.

Benefits of Shaft Machining

Shaft machining offers benefits that are sure to optimize productivity:

  • Accurate: To accurately and quickly produce complex parts, these shafts can often be made of more rigid materials than those used for casting and forging, making them suitable for heavier industrial use.
  • Precise: Shaft machining offers precise control over dimensions – even under challenging applications – with minimal waste.
  • Easy to modify: Shaft machining allows items to be modified quickly and easily should there be any changes once the item has been produced, as well as providing efficient and repeatable results each time it is used.
  • Large Volume: FZE can cater to large volume shaft machining services, which can help the customer save time and money with quick lead times and competitive prices. Large volume Shaft machining projects often qualify for mill-runs of bar stock raw material.

These advantages make shaft machining ideal for many industries when producing complicated parts with tight tolerances.

Industries Served by Our Shaft Machining Services

FZE Manufacturing provides precision shaft machining services to industries where performance, durability, and quality are essential. Here’s how our CNC shaft machining capabilities support key sectors:

Agriculture

Our Shaft machining services help produce rugged shafts that power essential farm machinery, including tractors, combines, balers, havestors, planters and tillage equipment. Designed to endure harsh conditions, they provide reliable performance for critical planting, harvesting, and maintenance operations. With options for corrosion resistance and custom dimensions, we ensure compatibility for all agricultural systems.

Professional Turf Care

Precision-machined Shafts from FZE are vital to turf care equipment, such as commercial mowers, aerators, and dethatchers. Built for smooth operation and minimal downtime, our components meet the demands of high-use applications, ensuring professional-grade results for golf courses, sports fields, and landscaping businesses.

Recreational Marine Components

Our custom Shaft machining services allow us to produce corrosion-resistant shafts for recreational boats, jet skis, and other watercraft. From propeller shafts to steering mechanisms, our components are built to withstand fresh and saltwater environments in high mechanical stress, providing reliable and safe operation for recreational marine applications.

Hydraulics

FZE’s Shafts are integral to hydraulic systems used in heavy equipment, industrial machinery, and fluid power systems. Our custom machining ensures exact tolerances, delivering optimal performance for pumps, motors, and actuators in demanding applications such as construction, forestry, and material handling.

ATVs & Motorcycles

FZE’s custom Shaft machining allows for the production of high-quality shafts for parts like power drivetrains, suspension systems, and steering components on ATVs, dirt bikes, and motorcycles. Designed for strength and precision, our products enhance reliability and durability in both recreational and competitive settings, even under extreme conditions.
