Hobart 012430-00059 Clutch Sleeve Key A120 A200 AS200

Product Description

The HOBART 012430-00059 is a genuine OEM clutch sleeve key designed for use in Hobart commercial stand mixers. This small but critical component locks the clutch sleeve in position, maintaining the mechanical connection between the drive shaft and mixing attachments during operation. Without a properly seated clutch key, the mixer cannot transfer torque reliably to the bowl and attachment assembly. At 1 inch in length and just 0.15 inches in both width and height, this precision-fit key is an exact replacement for worn or damaged originals. Commercial kitchen technicians and authorized service professionals handle this repair as part of routine mixer drivetrain maintenance.

This clutch sleeve key is used in Hobart commercial planetary mixers commonly found in bakeries, restaurant kitchens, and institutional food service operations. It is a direct OEM replacement part suited for drivetrain service on the A120, A200, and AS200 mixer models. Technicians typically replace this part when servicing the clutch assembly after signs of slippage, unusual noise, or attachment disengagement during mixing cycles.

Installation Notes

This part should be installed by a qualified commercial kitchen equipment technician familiar with Hobart mixer drivetrain service procedures. Before beginning any disassembly, disconnect the mixer from its power source and allow all moving components to come to a complete stop. Use proper snap ring pliers and shaft removal tools as required to access the clutch sleeve without damaging adjacent components. Verify the key seats fully in its keyway before reassembling the clutch sleeve and testing the unit under load.
