Hobart 012430-00017 Shaft Key Commercial Mixer

Product Description

The HOBART 012430-00017 is a genuine OEM shaft key designed to secure component alignment and transmit torque between rotating shafts and hubs in commercial foodservice equipment. Measuring 1/8 inch wide, 1/8 inch tall, and 2-7/16 inches long, this small but critical drive component locks gears, pulleys, and agitator attachments in proper rotational position. Weighing just 0.01 pounds, it is a direct OEM replacement that maintains manufacturer specifications for fit and function. Licensed foodservice equipment technicians and commercial kitchen service pros install this part during mixer rebuilds, agitator replacements, or any service that requires removing drive components from the shaft.

This shaft key is suited for commercial mixer applications where precise shaft-to-hub engagement is required. OEM sourcing ensures the key matches original dimensional tolerances, preventing slippage, wear, and premature failure of surrounding drive components. It is appropriate for high-cycle commercial environments where mixer loads are sustained and consistent fitment is essential to equipment uptime.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified commercial foodservice equipment technician. Disconnect and lock out all power to the equipment before removing any drive components or accessing the mixer shaft. The key slot on both shaft and hub should be inspected for wear or burring before seating the new key. Do not force the key into a damaged or undersized keyway, as this can cause shaft damage or misalignment during operation.
