Longitudinal slot machined into a shaft and the matching hub to lock them together with a key — a standard solution for safe torque transmission.
PRODUCT INFO
Keyway
A keyway is a longitudinal slot machined into a shaft and into the matching hub, into which a key is inserted to lock the two components together and prevent relative rotation.
A safe and standard solution for torque transmission.
Flexible production in a range of diameters and lengths.
Effectively prevents rotation on the shaft.
MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Keyway how is it manufactured?
01 / METHOD
Milling Cut
Precision milling machines cut the slot to the required dimensions and depth.
02 / METHOD
Broaching
Used for mass production of keyways in internal bores.
AREAS OF USE
Keyway in which sectors is it used?
Keyways are manufactured to DIN, ISO and SAE standards in a wide range of sizes and lengths, and are used in virtually every shaft–hub connection in industrial machinery.
