Value Collection C676608 Oversized Key Stock 36 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C676608 is an oversized key stock bar used to transmit torque between shafts and mating components such as gears, pulleys, and sprockets. Manufactured from cold drawn steel and finished with a zinc plating for corrosion resistance, this key stock measures 36 inches in length. It is an oversized designation, meaning the cross-section is intentionally manufactured above standard tolerance to allow machinists and technicians to fit and file the stock to precise application requirements. Mechanical technicians, machinists, and millwrights are the primary installers of this type of component in industrial and commercial drive-train assemblies.

This key stock is suited for use in power transmission applications where standard key stock dimensions require adjustment for tight-fitting keyway slots. Typical installations include motor shafts, conveyor drive assemblies, pump shafts, and gearbox couplings across industrial and commercial mechanical systems. The 36-inch length allows multiple keys to be cut from a single bar, reducing material waste and setup time on the shop floor or in the field.

Key Features

• Oversized designation allows custom fitting to tight-tolerance keyway slots
• Cold drawn steel construction provides consistent dimensional accuracy and surface hardness
• Zinc plating offers corrosion resistance for storage and service environments
• 36-inch bar length yields multiple cut keys per bar
• Suitable for motor shafts, pump shafts, conveyor drives, and gearbox couplings

Compatibility

Designed as an oversized key stock replacement or raw material for power transmission keyway applications in industrial and commercial mechanical assemblies. No specific model or part number compatibility was provided by the manufacturer for this item.

Installation Notes

Key stock installation is typically performed by machinists or millwrights using a file, grinder, or milling machine to fit the oversized bar to the target keyway slot dimension. Always de-energize and lock out the drive system before removing or installing key stock components, following applicable LOTO procedures per OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147. Verify keyway slot dimensions and shaft tolerances before cutting to length. Do not force an oversized key into a keyway slot without proper fitting, as this can damage the shaft or hub.
