ENGINEERING MATERIALS KEYS AND KEYWAYS FOR


AGRICULTURAL MACHINES SPECIFICATIONS AND APPLICATIONS

Key

Keyseat

A demountable machinery part which, when assembled into


keyseats, provides a positive means for transmitting torque
between the shaft and hub.

An axially located rectangular groove in a shaft or hub

Keyway

The hub or bushing keyseat.

Application of Keys

Keys are used to prevent relative movement of rotating


members and the shafts or spindles to which they are mounted.

keys whose longitudinal sides are parallel with each other.

can also be either square or rectangular with respect to its cross


section.

WOODRUFF
KEYS
The series one and two are the shaft diameters
given in the corresponding International Standards
and are as follows:
Series 1: Adequate for the assembly where the
torque is transmitted by the key.
Series 2: Adequate for the case where the
positioning is made by key and the torque is not
transmitted by it, e.g., where the shaft and the hub
are in the fit of interference fit.
Series 3 corresponds to the shearing strength at
the shearing cross-section area shown in the Table.
This shearing cross-section area is the calculated
value of the part to be sheared at the time when
the key is sinking completely in the keyway.

Materials

AISI designation 1020 as annealed

tensile strength shall be 393 Mpa

key shall have a lower shearing strength than the shaft and hub
material

KEY, SHAFT and HUB ASSEMBLY


3 types of key, shaft, and hub assembly:

Sliding type

Normal type

Assembly that shaft and hub can slide relatively in axial direction (Parallel key)

Assembly that hub is put into the key fixed on the shaft (Parallel key and
Woodruff key)

Fastening type

Assembly that hub is fastened on the key fixed on the shaft or assembly that
the key is driven in between the combined shaft and hub. (Parallel key, Taper
key, and Woodruff key)

Marking

Classification

Nominal dimension x length (only nominal dimension in case of


Woodruff key)

Shape of end (in case of parallel key)

Manufacturers name, its trademark, and address
