Hello

Can anyone help me determine how much an aluminum shaft with the following dimensions can take before bending?

Diameter 20mm
Length 510mm

The shaft would be suspended between 2 points at the extreme ends, and the force would be applied to the middle of the shaft.

I do not yet know the grade of Aluminum, but if it matters, go with the most common type.

Any help appreciated!
