Value Collection A996836 Oversized Key Stock 1.5x1.5x12 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION A996836 is an oversized key stock bar used to transmit torque between a shaft and a mating hub, pulley, gear, or sprocket in mechanical power transmission assemblies. Manufactured from cold drawn steel with a plain finish, this key stock measures 1.5 inches high, 1.5 inches wide, and 12 inches long. The cold drawn process produces tighter dimensional tolerances and a cleaner surface compared to hot rolled stock, making it suitable for applications where consistent fit and finish matter. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians cut this stock to length on the job to fit specific keyway dimensions.

This oversized key stock is appropriate for industrial and commercial machinery applications where standard-sized key stock does not provide sufficient material for the keyway. Common uses include retrofitting worn or enlarged keyways, custom shaft and hub assemblies, and repair situations where the original keyway has been reworked to accept a larger key. The 12-inch length provides adequate stock for most field cutting and machining operations. It is sold as a single piece.

Key Features

• Oversized profile at 1.5 inches high by 1.5 inches wide for nonstandard or reworked keyways
• 12-inch length allows on-site cutting to required finished key length
• Cold drawn steel construction provides improved dimensional accuracy and surface finish
• Plain finish with no coating or plating for direct use or further machining
• Sold individually, quantity of one per package

Compatibility

Designed as an oversized key stock replacement or raw material for mechanical shaft and hub assemblies requiring a 1.5-inch by 1.5-inch key profile in industrial and commercial power transmission applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or millwright. De-energize and lock out the equipment before servicing any shaft or hub assembly. Cut key stock to the required length using appropriate metalworking tools and deburr all cut edges before installation. Ensure the key fits the keyway without excessive play or interference that could damage the shaft or hub.
