Forged Step Shafts, Eccentric Shafts & Rotor Shafts
Guaranteed Sound-Centered Forged Shafts & Spindles
Scot Forge produces guaranteed sound-centered forged step shafts and rotor shafts from ferrous or non-ferrous materials with any combination of round, square, rectangle or polygonal dimensions, concentric or eccentric configurations, and tapers or custom shapes. Parts with major diameters up to 65" or greater can be produced in weights up to 300,000 lbs.
Our skilled craftsmen produce precision-forged step shafts with dimensional uniformity that other shops can only achieve by rough machining.
Step Shaft & Rotor Shaft Process Highlights
The process begins when an entire piece is forged to the major diameter and a fuller tool is used to mark the next step. Then we forge that next step to a smaller diameter or taper to create a contour, while maintaining directional grain flow, thereby giving the part greater strength and fatigue resistance.
Depending on the configuration of your part, our Clinton, WI, and Spring Grove, IL, plants can forge custom flanged-end shafts with heads that are upset in a variety of shapes, including single, tapered or multiple-diameter.
Reduced Costs & Materials
In addition, our step shaft forging capabilities provide significant cost and material savings when compared to machining a bar to a stepped shape. We can supply step shafts and spindles precision-forged with allowance or rough-machined, which can also include drilling or boring.
