<br /> The AM14U5 uses round bearings in the outside plate rather than hex bearings. As a result, this shaft differs from previous AM14U output shafts by having a round portion at the end.<br /> <br /> Thanks to the feedback from teams, we've made different versions of this shaft available. If you're using magnetic encoders and need magnets in your shaft, you can order shafts that come with magnets. Want to use non-magnetized dowels for your encoders? We have those too. Don't plan on using encoders? Save some money and order them without pins or magnets.<br /> </p> <p><b>Options:</b></p> <p> </p> <ul> <li>No Pins (Supply your own Dowels or Magnets later if needed) </li> <li>Included <a href="https://www.andymark.com/products/cylinder-magnet-for-use-with-encoder">Magnets</a> - for use with the <a href="https://www.andymark.com/products/srx-magnetic-encoder">SRX Magnetic Encoder (am-3445).</a></li> <li>Included <a href="https://www.andymark.com/products/1x1-4-steel-dowel-pin">Steel Dowels</a> - for use with the <a href="https://www.andymark.com/am-3132">E4T OEM Miniature Optical Encoder (am-3132)</a> or the <a href="https://www.andymark.com/am-4650">REV Through Bore Encoder (am-4650)</a></li> </ul>,<p>This is the 1/2 in. hex steel output shaft for the Toughbox® series gearboxes when used with the AM14U5.<br /> <br /> The AM14U5 uses round bearings in the outside plate rather than hex bearings.
