2" High Strength Shaft (4-Pack)
High Strength Shaft Hardware functions similarly to standard ⅛” shaft hardware, just on a larger scale. Use the High Strength Shaft Bearing to allow shafts to turn smoothly, the High Strength Shaft Spacer Kit to position objects on a shaft while reducing friction.
VEX V5 2", 3", and 4" High Strength Shafts are actually designed about 1 mm shorter than their respective 2", 3", and 4" 8-32 Standoffs.
This means that if you use standoffs to hold together two pieces of metal, the High Strength Shaft can rest on High Strength Shaft Bearings attached to those two pieces without any cutting required.
NOTE: 1/4" High Strength Shafts can only be used with 1/4" accessories, including:
- The High Strength Gears
- 3.25" Wheels that include a removable wheel insert

1/4" High Strength Shafts are tougher, stronger, and ready for even the most stressful robotic applications. These thicker shafts are more resistant to both twisting and bending fatigue, meaning that you should have no fear of designing high-torque gearboxes or high-impact drivetrains.
- Works with all VEX V5 High Strength Gears
- Works with the 3.25" Omni Wheel and 3.25" Traction Wheel
- Four lengths: 2", 3", 4", 12"
- Use the 12" to make your own custom length shafts
