Value Collection C676407 Oversized Key Stock 7/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C676407 is an oversized key stock bar used to secure rotating components such as pulleys, gears, and sprockets to shafts in mechanical drive systems. Machined from cold drawn steel with a plain finish, this key stock measures 7/16 inches high by 7/16 inches wide and 12 inches long. The cold drawn process produces tighter dimensional tolerances and a smoother surface than hot rolled alternatives, making it suitable for precision keyed shaft applications. Machinists and maintenance technicians cut this stock to length as needed for custom or replacement keyway fits.

This oversized key stock is used in industrial maintenance, mechanical assembly, and power transmission applications. It is appropriate for both original equipment installation and field repair work where a standard key size does not provide the required fit or where an oversized keyway has been machined to restore a worn shaft. Typical installation environments include pump drives, conveyor systems, compressor shafts, and general manufacturing equipment.

Key Features

• Oversized cross-section at 7/16 inches high by 7/16 inches wide for applications requiring a tighter-than-standard keyway fit
• 12-inch length allows field cutting to required dimensions
• Cold drawn steel construction provides improved surface finish and dimensional accuracy compared to hot rolled bar stock
• Plain finish with no coating, ready for direct installation or further machining
• Square cross-section geometry suits standard square keyway configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an oversized replacement or custom-fit key stock for mechanical drive assemblies where the keyway has been machined oversize or where a snug interference fit is required on keyed shafts.

Installation Notes

Key stock installation is typically performed by machinists or qualified maintenance technicians. Shut down and lock out all power to the drive system before removing or installing any shaft components. Key stock should be cut to length with a band saw or abrasive cutoff tool and deburred before fitting to avoid keyway damage. Do not force key stock into a keyway with impact tools, as this may damage the shaft or hub bore.
