Roundness (M), straightness (K), L dimension tolerance, squareness

■Straightness measurement method

rotate the shaft once at any point, and measure the amplitude of the dial gauge.
Half of the measured amplitude is taken as the straightness.

Hardness and surface treatment precautions
■Decrease in hardness of processed parts
・The base material is processed after hardening, but the annealing process may result in a decrease in hardness.
*Hardness after reduction: Approximately 10 to 40 HRC
■ Hardness reduction range
・About 10 mm from the processed part
(example)

■ Hardness reduction due to annealing
・Male thread ・Keyway ・Flat chamfer ・90 degree flat chamfer
■ Effective hardened layer depth
The effective hardened layer depth varies depending on the external dimensions and material.
| Outer diameter D | Effective case depth | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Equivalent to SUJ2 | SUS440C/ 13Cr stainless steel | |||
| 4 | 0.5 or higher | 0.5 or higher | ||
| 5 | ||||
| 6 to 10 | ||||
| 12th and 13th | 0.7 or higher | |||
| 15 to 20 | 0.7 or higher | |||
| 25 to 50 | 1.0 or higher | |||
■About hard chrome plating and plating layers on processed parts
- Hard chrome plating is done after the base material surface is treated, so there is no plating process on the processed area.
- In the example below, only the "///" part is hard chrome plated.
Example) Remaining plating: Stepped male thread shaft with additional flat surface
/// part: remaining plating part
