Machine Keys, Key Stock, and Shafts
Shafts and machine keys are critical components of a power transmission assembly. Power transmission hardware transfers or facilitates mechanical energy transfer from one part of a machine to another. Power transfer hardware is an essential component of any machine, from the smallest mechanism to the largest industrial machinery.- Shafts are rotating elements that transmit power between machine components. Shafts are found in the vast majority of machinery, and we carry an enormous selection of keyed shafts in carbon steel and stainless steel, as well as keyed shaft assortments and round key stock.
- Machine keys connect rotating elements to a shaft, preventing relative motion and transmitting torque from one component to another.
- Key stock is precision stock used to make machine keys in a variety of lengths. We stock a wide selection of key stock, including bilateral, step, oversize, and undersized key stock, as well as hex key stock and round key stock.
