I am considering a new product that will use three linear shafts. They will be ~1.00 diameter x 12" long and will have an assembly that rides on them using bushings (linear bearings are pretty expensive for this product). The clearances and tolerances will need to be determined through trial and error... in other words I have no idea. I'll tap and chamfer both ends on my turning center. Probably a couple of thousand per year.
For material, I'm leaning towards one of the hardenable stainless steels.
Face, chamfer, drill and tap both ends on my turning center.
Send out for heat treat.
Centerless grind to dimension (???). Or cylindrical grind... or send it out for grinding. My only grinding experience involves a bench grinder
anybody done parts like this?
