Shimano free wheel hub? rear axles for Shimano hubs are 10mm diameter & 1 thread per MM pitch..
length? same as the one you bent.

So, for instance, if you have an old 6s hub with a 130mm axle, that means you need a 141mm axle. (so it sticks out 5mm or so on each side).

Which is why it's necessary to get the same thread.

The best thing to do is take the bent axle out of the hub and then take that axle and parts to a bicycle shop. They'll then match the replacement axle to the one you have in both length and threading. BTW, it wouldn't hurt to buy and install new ball bearings at the same time. Another advantage to the shop seeing the axle is thatt hey'll know where you need a freewheel or freehub one if your cones are pitted or otherwise worn.
