Value Collection 40165 Oversized Key Stock Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 40165 is an oversized steel key stock used to secure rotating components to shafts in mechanical drive systems. Key stock fits into keyways machined into shafts and hubs, transmitting torque and preventing slippage between mating parts. This piece ships in an unfinished, natural steel condition, ready for cutting to length or light finishing as needed. It is a foundational component in industrial and commercial mechanical assemblies and is handled by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians working on drive trains, motors, and gearboxes.

Oversized key stock is used wherever standard key dimensions are insufficient for the application, including heavy-duty shaft-to-hub connections on conveyor systems, pumps, fans, and similar rotating equipment. The 7.00 mm height and 7.00 mm width cross-section make this a metric-dimensioned piece suited for metric keyway applications. It is appropriate for both new construction and replacement or repair scenarios in industrial maintenance environments.

Key Features

• Steel construction provides strength and durability in torque-transmitting applications
• Unfinished, natural surface finish allows for field cutting and custom fitting
• 7.00 mm height by 7.00 mm width cross-section suits metric keyway specifications
• Oversized profile accommodates applications where standard key stock dimensions are insufficient
• Single-piece quantity simplifies procurement for low-volume or repair needs

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose oversized key stock for metric keyway applications in rotating mechanical assemblies. Verify shaft and hub keyway dimensions before installation to confirm fit.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians. Cut key stock to required length using appropriate metal-cutting tools before fitting into the keyway. Ensure the shaft and all associated rotating equipment are fully de-energized and locked out before beginning work, following applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Do not force key stock into a keyway that does not match the key cross-section dimensions.
