Bronze Shaft
Bronze Shaft is the spinning core of the Bronze Rotor in Industrial Craft 2: one shaft plus four Bronze Rotor Blades assembles the rotor on a crafting grid.
Description
Bronze Shaft belongs to the mid tier of the shaft family, alongside Iron Shaft and Steel Shaft, which fill the same rotor-assembly role in their own tiers. Each Bronze Rotor consumes exactly one Bronze Shaft and four blades, so stock up on Bronze Ingots before assembling rotors in bulk. Industrial Craft 2 is a Java Edition mod only, and the official wiki documents neither a machine that accepts the Bronze Rotor nor the Bronze Shaft's own recipe, so confirm both in the in-game recipe viewer of your modpack.
Guide
How to use Bronze Shaft in Industrial Craft 2
-
1
Smelt bronze from copper and tin
Mix three Copper Dust with one Tin Dust on a crafting grid to produce two Bronze Dust, then smelt the Bronze Dust in a furnace to obtain Bronze Ingots for the Bronze Shaft.
-
2
Combine Bronze Shaft with Rotor Blades
Place one Bronze Shaft at the centre of a crafting grid surrounded by four Bronze Rotor Blades to assemble one Bronze Rotor, the rotor built around the shaft and its blades.
-
3
Check what accepts the Bronze Rotor
The official IC2 wiki documents no machine that accepts the Bronze Rotor, and the roster of kinetic machines changed between IC2 builds, so open the in-game recipe viewer (NEI/JEI) to see which machines take the rotor in your version.
-
4
Stock up on bronze
Each Bronze Rotor consumes one Bronze Shaft and four Bronze Rotor Blades, so smelt extra Bronze Ingots from copper and tin dust before assembling rotors in bulk.
Bronze Shaft is an inventory item, not a placeable block. The Bronze Shaft recipe varies between IC2 builds and config packs, so confirm the exact inputs in NEI or JEI inside your own modpack before crafting.

Frequently asked questions
What does Bronze Shaft do in Industrial Craft 2?
Bronze Shaft is the central spinning axle of a Bronze Rotor, assembled by combining one Bronze Shaft with four Bronze Rotor Blades on a crafting grid.
What is Bronze Shaft used to craft?
Bronze Shaft is consumed in the Bronze Rotor recipe, which combines one Bronze Shaft with four Bronze Rotor Blades on a crafting grid. In the current recipe catalogue this is the only recorded use of Bronze Shaft.
Is Bronze renewable in Industrial Craft 2?
Bronze has no ore form in IC2: it is crafted from three Copper Dust plus one Tin Dust, so the supply of Bronze Shaft follows your copper and tin intake. Both ores are common, which keeps bronze plentiful once you process ore into dust.
Is Industrial Craft 2 available on Bedrock Edition?
No, Industrial Craft 2 is a Java Edition mod only. There is no official Bedrock Edition of IC2, so Bronze Shaft exists exclusively on Java.
Which generator accepts the Bronze Rotor?
The official IC2 wiki documents no machine that accepts the Bronze Rotor, and the roster of kinetic machines differs between IC2 builds; check the in-game recipe viewer in your own modpack to find the rotor's slot.
How do I craft a Bronze Shaft?
The Bronze Shaft recipe is not fixed across IC2 builds and config packs, so the inputs vary. Open NEI or JEI inside your own modpack to confirm the exact ingredients before crafting.
