Hollow Motor Shafts with Direct In-Mold Internal Threads & Splines

Complex hollow-core motor shafts featuring precision multi-start internal threads, helical grooves, or anti-rotation splines formed directly inside the injection mold via automated rotary-unscrewing core mechanisms. Requires zero secondary CNC tapping, eliminates thread burrs, and cuts component costs by 30%–50% compared to machined metal shafts.

WHY ENGINEERS CHOOSE RUNHENG IN-MOLD THREADED SHAFTS

Seamless Internal Thread Accuracy Without Secondary Machining Costs

01. Automated Rotary-Unscrewing Mold Technology

Our in-house tooling center builds precision gear-driven and hydraulic rotary-unscrewing molds that form smooth, uninterrupted internal threads (metric, trapezoidal, or multi-start lead threads) in a single injection cycle.

02. Superior Strength vs. Post-Molded Tapping

Unlike CNC-tapped threads that cut across polymer flow lines and leave stress-concentrating micro-cracks, in-mold formed threads follow natural molecular orientation—delivering higher thread shear strength and zero loose swarf.

03. ±0.02mm Inner-Thread to Outer-OD Coaxiality

Forming the outer bearing journals, external splines, and internal threads simultaneously within one Charmilles EDM-machined cavity guarantees concentricity that secondary clamping can never match.

04. Lightweight & Self-Lubricating Operation

Molded in carbon-fiber/glass-fiber reinforced PPS, PA66, or PTFE-modified POM, reducing rotor inertia and eliminating metal-on-metal thread galling.

HOW WE GUARANTEE CONSISTENCY

How We Guarantee Thread Pitch Accuracy & Smooth Travel

01. Low-Friction & Low-Shrinkage Compounding

Custom PTFE/silicone-lubricated resins ensure consistent thread pitch shrinkage and low running torque.

02. Mirror-Ground Unscrewing Thread Cores

Threaded mold cores are precision-ground and polished so unscrewing extraction leaves a glass-smooth thread flank.

03. 100% Master Lead-Screw Travel & Runout QC

Every shaft is tested with calibrated master thread gauges for axial backlash, starting torque, and outer-diameter runout.
