Trusted Sourcing Partner • 25+ Years of ExperienceForged Shafts
Time, Backed by People Who Care
If you’re searching for forged shafts, chances are you’re looking for more than just a hunk of metal shaped like a stick.
You want strength. Precision. Reliability. And let’s be honest—you want a supplier who can hit your spec, your budget, and your deadline without disappearing halfway through the project.
That’s where SanCo comes in. We’re not a forge shop—we’re your shortcut to the right forge shop. We connect you with vetted partners and stay hands-on from RFQ to delivery.
We’re a crew of problem solvers who know how critical it is that your shafts don’t fail, twist, or cause chaos on your line.
So, What Exactly Are Forged Shafts?
Forged shafts are metal bars or rods heated and shaped under extreme pressure to improve strength and durability. Forging aligns the metal’s grain structure, making it tougher than casting or parts hogged from billet.
They’re used everywhere—from mining drills to ship propeller shafts. These components carry torque, resist fatigue, and keep things moving.

Common Applications
- Rotary components in motors, pumps, and compressors
- Transmission systems in vehicles and heavy equipment
- Driveshafts for rail, marine, and industrial machinery
- Crankshafts, camshafts, and gear shafts
- Hydraulic and mechanical power systems
- Turbines and energy generation
Why Choose Forged Shafts Over Machined or Cast?
- 💪 Maximum Strength — Grain flow follows the shaft shape for better fatigue resistance, impact strength, and torsional rigidity.
- 🔁 Better Durability — Forged parts handle shock loads that can crack castings or fracture purely machined parts.
- 🛠 Superior Customization — Dimensions, materials, and tolerances tailored to your needs—from prototype to production.
