Precise shaft, 7mm. as described
303 Stainless Steel Linear Shaft Rods 1-45mm Diameter
Precision 303 stainless steel linear shaft rods, customizable diameters (1-45mm) and lengths (10-550mm). High tensile strength and acid resistance ensure durability.
Precision Machining Steel Rods
These 303 stainless steel linear shaft rods offer precision and durability for various machining needs. Available in diameters from 1mm to 45mm and customizable lengths between 10mm and 550mm, they provide flexibility for your project requirements.
The rods are crafted from austenitic stainless steel, designed for excellent acid resistance and ease of cutting, making them suitable for automatic lathe use, bolts, and nut production.
Material Composition and Mechanical Strength
The rods contain carbon (≤0.15%), silicon (≤1.00%), manganese (≤2.00%), sulfur (≥0.15%), phosphorus (≤0.20%), chromium (17-19%), nickel (8-10%), and up to 0.60% molybdenum for enhanced corrosion resistance.
They offer strong mechanical performance: tensile strength of 515MPa, yield strength of 205MPa, and elongation of 40%. Standard hardness is HRB 90-100, HRC 20-25.
Manufacturing and Surface Finish
The rods are unpolished and have no hard coating, maintaining their original surface state for versatility in finishing and machining.
Their free-cutting properties come from sulfur and selenium additions, allowing high-quality surface finishes in machining processes.
Dimensional Accuracy and Custom Options
Diameter tolerance is controlled between -0.1mm and -0.3mm; length tolerance is maintained within +1mm to +5mm.
Custom diameter sizes and length options enable precise fitment for diverse engineering applications, with selections available across many intermediate sizes.

Discussion
I purchased products with diameters of 6mm and 8mm, and both products arrived in good condition without any rough edges.
Stainless steel rod as described. There are no particular issues with strength or texture. The cut surface has not been deburred, so if you're concerned about that, you can file it down.
I purchased a 6mm diameter product and an 8mm diameter product. The product diameters were accurate without any error, which was helpful for my work.
Thank you for the stainless steel 5mm rod
