It carries more load than a half-inch bar and leaves more material for shoulders, stepped profiles, bored holes, and threaded ends — yet it still runs cleanly on standard lathes and mills. The T6 temper gives this 6061 aluminum round bar dependable tensile strength, good stiffness for rotating shafts and pivot pins, and strong resistance to outdoor and marine corrosion. As a standard fractional size, 5\/8 inch 6061 rod lines up with common brackets, bosses, clevis mounts, and replacement hardware on American machinery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"rk-sub\"\u003eWhat This Size Is Used For\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rk-chips\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eShafts \u0026amp; roller shafts\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBushings \u0026amp; sleeves\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCouplings \u0026amp; adapters\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePivot \u0026amp; hinge pins\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eClevis \u0026amp; hitch pins\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpacers \u0026amp; standoff columns\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFixture posts \u0026amp; locators\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLever arms \u0026amp; handles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSmall cylinder rods\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMachinery linkages\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"rk-sub\"\u003eWhy Shops Keep 5\/8 Inch 6061 Rod in Stock\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rk-box\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"rk-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra cross section over 1\/2 inch for stiffer pins, posts, and shafts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnough stock to turn steps, shoulders, and threaded ends in one setup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eT6 temper keeps strength up in rotating and pivoting parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurns, mills, drills, taps, and welds with predictable results\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnodizes cleanly and resists outdoor and marine corrosion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"rk-sub\"\u003eMachining, Welding \u0026amp; Finishing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"rk-p\"\u003e5\/8 inch 6061-T6 aluminum round bar machines with light, continuous chips and a clean surface, and it drills, taps, and threads without built-up edge.
