Value Collection C676606 Oversized Key Stock 36in Zinc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C676606 is an oversized key stock bar used to transmit torque between a shaft and a mating hub, gear, pulley, or sprocket. Manufactured from cold drawn steel with a zinc-plated finish, this key stock measures 36 inches in length and is sized to oversized tolerances, making it suitable for applications where standard key stock dimensions are insufficient. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians cut this bar stock to the required length on-site using standard metal-cutting tools. The zinc plating provides a base level of corrosion resistance for general shop and industrial environments.

This key stock is appropriate for light industrial, maintenance, and repair applications involving power transmission components. It fits a wide range of shaft-and-hub assemblies where an oversized key is specified by the equipment manufacturer or engineering drawing. The 36-inch bar length allows multiple keys to be cut from a single piece, making it an efficient choice for shops and field service operations that regularly service rotating machinery.

Key Features

• Oversized key stock tolerances for applications requiring a tighter or custom fit
• Cold drawn steel construction provides consistent dimensional accuracy and surface finish
• Zinc-plated finish offers baseline corrosion protection in general industrial environments
• 36-inch bar length allows multiple keys to be cut from a single piece
• Suitable for use with gears, pulleys, sprockets, and similar power transmission components

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose oversized key stock replacement or fabrication blank for shaft-and-hub power transmission assemblies where oversized key tolerances are required.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or millwrights using a hacksaw, bandsaw, or cold saw to cut the bar to required length, followed by filing or grinding to final dimension. De-energize and lock out all rotating equipment before removing or installing any key stock. Verify keyway dimensions and tolerances against the equipment specification before cutting. Always follow applicable ANSI and OSHA lockout/tagout procedures when servicing power transmission components.
