Hollow Shaft with Keyway for Garage, Industrial, and Commercial Doors
HEVO Steel specializes in manufacturing precision-engineered hollow shafts with keyways designed for garage doors, industrial doors, and commercial door systems. Utilizing high-strength carbon steel and advanced cold drawing processes, our shafts deliver unmatched durability, weight efficiency, and torque transmission capabilities while adhering to ANSI and ISO standards. This report examines the technical specifications, manufacturing advantages, and application-specific benefits of hollow keyed shafts, alongside SEO strategies to optimize online visibility for industrial buyers.
We Always Use Precision Manufacturing for Optimal Performance
1. Material Selection & Cold Drawing
We start with premium hot-rolled seamless steel pipe. Using a precision cold drawing process, we form the shaft and keyway to exact dimensions. This method provides superior surface finish, consistent mechanical properties, and enhanced strength compared to traditional extrusion or machining.
2. Annealing (Heat Treatment)
After cold drawing, all shafts undergo annealing. This heat treatment process:
- Increases ductility and toughness
- Softens the steel for better machinability
- Relieves internal stresses
- Refines the grain structure, making it more homogeneous
- Improves the shaft’s cold working properties
3. Precision Straightening
To guarantee perfect alignment, each shaft is straightened on specialized machinery designed specifically for hollow and solid shafts. This ensures the shaft meets strict straightness tolerances, reducing vibration and ensuring smooth, reliable operation in your door systems.
4. Surface Treatment Options
We offer several high-performance surface finishes to protect your shafts and extend their service life:
All finishes are applied to meet international export and quality standards.
5. Rigorous Inspection
Every shaft is carefully inspected according to contract requirements and detailed engineering drawings. Our inspection process checks all critical dimensions, straightness, keyway accuracy, and surface quality to ensure you receive only the best products.
