Precision Brand 04045 Key Stock 14mm X 14mm X 12 in Plated

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 04045 is a plated steel key stock measuring 14mm x 14mm x 12 inches, sold in packs of 4. Key stock is a standard machine element used to secure rotating components such as gears, pulleys, sprockets, and couplings to shafts, preventing relative rotation under load. This plated finish provides a base level of corrosion resistance suitable for general industrial and mechanical applications. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians keep key stock on hand for drivetrain assembly, equipment repair, and custom shaft-to-hub fitment work.

This key stock is suited for use in industrial machinery, conveyor systems, pumps, motors, and general power transmission equipment where a square-profile key is required. The 14mm x 14mm cross-section corresponds to larger shaft diameter applications per standard shaft-to-keyway sizing tables. The 12-inch bar length allows technicians to cut to custom lengths as needed for specific hub widths and assembly tolerances. Each pack contains 4 pieces, making it practical for shop stock or multi-unit repair jobs.

Key Features

• 14mm x 14mm square profile for consistent fitment in standard metric keyways
• 12-inch bar length allows field-cutting to required hub width
• Plated finish for basic corrosion resistance in general-use environments
• Sold in a 4-piece pack for efficient stock replenishment
• Suitable for power transmission assemblies including gears, pulleys, and sprockets

Compatibility

Designed as a standard metric key stock for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a 14mm x 14mm square keyway profile across industrial power transmission applications.

Installation Notes

Key stock installation is typically performed by machinists or millwrights during drivetrain assembly or repair. Always de-energize and lock out the equipment before removing or installing any shaft components. Key stock should be cut to length using appropriate metal-cutting tools and deburred before installation to ensure proper seating and avoid damage to keyway surfaces. Verify shaft and hub keyway dimensions match the key stock profile before final assembly.
