Straightness measurement
Support both shaft ends on V-blocks, rotate the shaft once and measure the dial gauge amplitude at any point.
Straightness is 1/2 of the measured amplitude.

Hardness reduction at machined areas
- Machining is done after hardening, but annealing for machining may reduce hardness.
- *Hardness after reduction: approx. 10–40HRC
Hardness reduction range
- Approx. 10 mm from the machined area
(Example)
Areas with hardness reduced by annealing
- Male thread
• Wrench flats
• Flats
• 90° flats
Hardness reduction at female threads: the conditions depend on material and selection.
SUS440C or 13Cr stainless steel: hardness is reduced at the female thread.
SUJ2 equivalent: under the conditions below, hardness is reduced at the female thread.
- When M ≥ D/2
• RC threads
• 2-hole female thread type
Hardness reduction range of drilled-hole types: depends on the material.
SUJ2 equivalent: approx. 20 mm from the end, including the machined area; SUS440C or 13Cr stainless steel: approx. 30 mm from the end, including the machined area
- *Near the drilled hole, annealing may cause deformation outside the O.D. tolerance.
Effective hardened depth: depends on outer dimensions and material.
| O.D. D | Effective hardened depth | |
|---|---|---|
| SUJ2 equivalent | SUS440C / 13Cr stainless steel | |
| 8, 10 | 0.5 or more | 0.5 or more |
| 12, 13 | 0.7 or more | |
| 15–20 | 0.7 or more | |
| 25–50 | 1.0 or more | |
Hard chrome plating on machined areas: hard chrome plated items are machined after plating, so machined areas are not plated.
In the example below, only the "///" area is hard chrome plated.
Example: plating remains on a stepped male-thread shaft with an added flat
Plating removal at drilled holes
- Deburring of the drilled hole may remove plating near the hole.
Shafts vs. rotary shafts

- *With hard chrome plating, no plating remains on machined areas.
Overview and technical notes
- Annealing for wrench flats, drilled holes and shaft end machining (effective thread length + approx. 10 mm) may reduce hardness.
- Near the drilled hole, annealing may cause deformation outside the O.D. tolerance.
