    The document discusses feather keys and woodruff keys. A feather key permits both axial movement and transmission of torque between a shaft and hub. It is fastened to either the shaft or hub and acts as a sliding fit in the other's keyway. A woodruff key can tilt in a recess milled into a shaft, allowing for easy adjustment, and is commonly used in machine tools and automobiles. The document also provides a table with standard dimensions for parallel, tapered, and gib head keys of various shaft diameters.

    5. Feather key. A key attached to one member of a pair and which permits relative axial
    movement is known as feather key. It is a special type of parallel key which transmits a turning
    moment and also permits axial movement. It is fastened either to the shaft or hub, the key being a
    sliding fit in the key way of the moving piece.

    Fig. 13.3. Feather key.


    The feather key may be screwed to the shaft as shown in Fig. 13.3 (a) or it may have double gib
    heads as shown in Fig. 13.3 (b). The various proportions of a feather key are same as that of
    rectangular sunk key and gib head key.
    The following table shows the proportions of standard parallel, tapered and gib head keys,
    according to IS : 2292 and 2293-1974 (Reaffirmed 1992).

    6. Woodruff key. The woodruff key is an easily adjustable key. It is a piece from a cylindrical
    disc having segmental cross-section in front view as shown in Fig. 13.4. A woodruff key is capable of
    tilting in a recess milled out in the shaft by a cutter having the same curvature as the disc from which
    the key is made. This key is largely used in machine tool and automobile construction.
