Value Collection 33981 Oversized Key Stock 3/4x3/4x12 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 33981 is an oversized key stock used to secure rotating components — such as gears, pulleys, and sprockets — to shafts in mechanical power transmission assemblies. Measuring 3/4 inches high by 3/4 inches wide by 12 inches long, this key stock is manufactured from cold drawn steel for consistent dimensional tolerances and reliable shear strength. A zinc-plated finish provides a baseline level of corrosion resistance for shop and light industrial environments. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians cut this stock to length as needed for custom or replacement keyway applications.

This oversized key stock is suited for industrial maintenance, machine repair, and OEM assembly work where a standard-dimension key does not meet the required fit. It is appropriate for use in gearboxes, motor shafts, conveyor systems, and similar power transmission setups that require a tight, positive connection between shaft and hub. The 12-inch length provides enough material for multiple cuts in a typical repair scenario.

Key Features

• Oversized profile at 3/4 inches high by 3/4 inches wide for applications requiring a larger-than-standard key fit
• 12-inch length allows multiple cuts from a single piece
• Cold drawn steel construction provides consistent cross-section and good mechanical strength
• Zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance in shop environments
• Suitable for custom-length cutting by machinists or maintenance technicians

Compatibility

Designed for use in mechanical power transmission applications requiring oversized key stock with a 3/4-inch by 3/4-inch cross-section. Confirm keyway dimensions and fit requirements before cutting and installation.

Installation Notes

Installation of key stock is typically performed by machinists or millwrights. De-energize and lock out all equipment before servicing any shaft or rotating assembly. Cut key stock to the required length using appropriate metal-cutting tools, and deburr all cut edges before fitting. Verify shaft and hub keyway dimensions match the key stock profile to ensure proper fit and load transfer.
