​Custom Shaft

At HM Manufacturing, we produce custom shafts that can be used in a variety of different industries and applications. Our precision shafts at HM, are manufactured for each project's specifications. With our in house machines we have the capability to mill, hob, turn, grind, and broach any shaft into a particular design.

​Shafts can be paired with different parts HM produces, such as splines, sprockets, pulleys and gearboxes. At HM we have the ability to have shafts heat treated to a specific hardness.
​

HM Manufacturing Order Processing Advantages

We encourage our customers to place 12 month blanket purchase orders to accommodate for annual requirements. This in turn allows us to hold materials exclusively for our customer and can usually be dispatched within one business day.

• Blanket orders for Custom Timing Belt Pulleys eliminate lead times.
• A single pulley purchase order is far more economical than many purchase orders.
• Costs associated with shelf-space or storage space can be avoided by our customers.
• We want to help you with cost certainty as product price remains fixed throughout the term.
