Shaft: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $1.20 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.15 at volume, on a typical 30-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.

What moves the price
For shaft, the drivers are sensor type, front or rear fitment, connector style, wire length, tone ring compatibility, wire gauge, relay rating, connector type — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale quotes for custom precision/motor shafts cluster around about US$0.20-1.20 at 10-99 pieces, US$0.90 at 100-999 pieces, and US$0.20 at 1,000+ pieces from Made-in-China listings, with broader precision-shaft catalogs showing roughly US$0.01-3.00 per piece at 2,000-piece MOQs and related shaft listings up to US$8+ for more complex variants. The main price drivers for custom shafts are material grade, machining tolerance, surface finish, heat treatment, and geometry; realistic supplier routes are China OEM/ODM machine shops and B2B trade platforms rather than branded US stock distributors for these low per-unit levels. Lead times on these listings are typically around one month, with some suppliers quoting within 15 workdays off-peak for simpler CNC turning jobs.
