Precision shafts built to your spec
At TCMCO, we manufacture precision shafts for industries that demand reliability, strength, and performance. From power transmission to conveyor systems, wire and cable machinery to heavy industrial equipment, our custom shafts are built to handle the toughest applications and run consistently under extreme conditions.
With over 75 years of machining and fabrication behind us, we have the equipment, skills, and quality systems to produce shafts that meet exacting specifications, whether you need new production components, custom engineered solutions, or precision repairs and rebuilds. Shaft work is one half of our machined parts shop, alongside custom gear manufacturing.
The shafts we manufacture
From drive and splined shafts to conveyor head and tail shafts, we cut them all to spec. Explore each type.
Drive Shafts
Built to transmit torque and rotation with precision, balance, and vibration free performance for OEM or replacement use.
Drive shaftsSplined Shafts
Engineered for reliable torque transfer and precise fit, with internal or external splines in straight, involute, or custom profiles.
Splined shaftsGear Shafts
Integrated shaft and gear components combining torque transmission with precision gear mesh for gearboxes and drive systems.
Gear shaftsTransmission Shafts
High strength forged shafts with superior grain structure for maximum torque capacity and long service life in harsh environments.
Transmission shaftsConveyor Shafts
Heavy duty shafts for continuous use material handling, built to withstand high loads, abrasion, and around the clock operation.
Conveyor shaftsWorm Shafts
Precision worm shafts with exact thread geometry for smooth motion control and high torque reduction in worm gear systems.
Worm shaftsHead Shafts
Critical drive components for conveyor and material handling systems, manufactured or rebuilt for smooth, reliable operation.
Head shaftsTail Shafts
Precision tail shafts that serve as the balance point in conveyor systems, engineered to work with head shafts for efficient transmission.
Tail shaftsWelded Shafts
Fabricated and weld rebuild shafts for strength and precise fit, restoring worn components and extending service life.
Welded shaftsKeyed Shafts
Shafts cut with precise keyways and keys for secure, repeatable torque transfer to hubs, gears, and sprockets.
Keyed shaftsSteel Shafts
Shafts machined from carbon and alloy steels, with grade and heat treat chosen for your strength and wear needs.
Steel shaftsRotor Shafts
Balanced rotor shafts for motors, pumps, and rotating equipment, turned and ground to run true at speed.
Rotor shaftsHollow Shafts
Bored and machined hollow shafts that cut weight while holding torque, for drives that route lines or reduce mass.
Hollow shaftsMachine Shafts
General purpose machine shafts cut to print for industrial machinery, replacements, and OEM builds.
Machine shaftsIdler Shafts
Idler shafts that support and guide chains, belts, and conveyors, machined for smooth rotation under sustained load.
Idler shaftsMain Shafts
Primary drive shafts that carry the core load of a machine, built to exact spec for strength and reliability.
Main shaftsStub Shafts
Short stub shafts machined for couplings, adapters, and drive ends where a compact, precise shaft is needed.
Stub shaftsForged Power Transmission Shafts
Forged shafts with superior grain structure for maximum torque capacity and durability in the most demanding drives.
Forged shaftsWhat goes into every shaft
Every custom shaft benefits from our in house capabilities, under our ISO quality system.
Precision Machining
CNC turning, milling, and grinding to hold tight tolerances over long shaft lengths.
Balancing
Dynamic balancing so shafts run true and vibration free at operating speed.
Heat Treat & Finishing
Heat treating, hardening, and finishing to meet strength, wear, and surface requirements.
Repairs & Rebuilds
Weld rebuild and precision repair to restore worn shafts and reduce downtime.
Wide Material Range
Carbon and alloy steels, stainless, and forged stock matched to torque and load.
Gear & Spline Cutting
Integrated gear teeth, splines, and keyways cut on the shaft for a finished assembly.
