Value Collection 33984 Oversized Key Stock 1x1x12 in Zinc

Product Description

The Value Collection 33984 is an oversized key stock bar used to secure rotating components to shafts in mechanical drive systems. Machined from cold drawn steel and finished with a zinc plating for corrosion resistance, this key stock measures 1 inch high by 1 inch wide by 12 inches long. The oversized designation means the cross-section is manufactured slightly above standard tolerances, allowing machinists to file or grind the key to achieve a precise fit in a keyway. It is handled by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians working on pumps, conveyors, fans, and general power transmission assemblies.

This key stock is suited for industrial and commercial maintenance applications where standard-size key stock is too loose in the keyway. The 12-inch length allows the technician to cut the bar to the required working length on-site, reducing the need to stock multiple finished keys. Typical applications include electric motor shaft assemblies, gearbox outputs, and driven equipment connections in light to medium industrial environments.

Key Features

• Oversized cross-section for file-to-fit keyway installation
• Cold drawn steel construction for consistent dimensional tolerance and strength
• Zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion protection
• 12-inch length allows field cutting to required size
• 1 inch x 1 inch cross-section suits large-shaft drive applications

Compatibility

Designed as an oversized replacement key stock for large-shaft mechanical drive assemblies where a 1 inch x 1 inch keyway profile is required. Confirm keyway dimensions and fit before final installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or millwright. De-energize and lock out the drive equipment before removing or installing any shaft key. The key should be cut to length with a hacksaw or cold cut-off tool and deburred before fitting. File or grind the key to achieve a snug, non-interference fit unless an interference fit is specified by the equipment manufacturer.
