Precision steel shafts
Ball bushing guides
Bosch Rexroth precision steel shafts (WOD4 series) are hollow shafts made of hardened and ground steel for ball bushing guides. The range covers diameters of 4, 6, 8, 10, and 16 mm in standard lengths from 200 to 600 mm. The hollow shaft design reduces the axis mass compared to solid shafts, which is advantageous for fast horizontal traversing movements and dynamically loaded guide axes.
Hollow shafts WOD4 - diameters 4, 6, 8, 10, 16 mm; lengths 200-600 mm
Reduced weight - hollow construction saves mass while maintaining guidance stiffness
Hardened and ground - precise running surface for ball bushings, long service life
Compatibility - suitable for Compact-KB KBC ball bushings and Eline LSAC linear sets

Typical applications: Light and fast linear axes in packaging and printing machinery, guide shafts for small robot heads and scanning units, mass-reduced axes in portable devices and measuring machines, replacement of damaged guide shafts in the field, and new designs where axis weight affects dynamic behaviour or motor sizing.
