Value Collection C676610 Oversized Key Stock 36 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C676610 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 provides corrosion resistance alongside the close dimensional tolerances expected of cold drawn material. At 36 inches in length, it gives machinists and maintenance technicians the flexibility to cut multiple keys from a single bar to suit a range of shaft and keyway dimensions. This type of stock is a standard consumable in industrial maintenance, power transmission, and mechanical assembly work.

Oversized key stock is used in applications where standard key stock tolerances are insufficient and a press or interference fit is required within the keyway. Typical settings include industrial machinery, pump and motor assemblies, conveyor systems, and general power transmission equipment. Technicians cut the bar to the required key length and finish the fit with hand files or a milling operation. The 36-inch bar length suits both one-off jobs and small production runs.

Key Features

• Cold drawn steel construction provides tight dimensional tolerances suitable for oversized keyway applications
• Zinc-plated finish adds corrosion resistance for general industrial environments
• 36-inch bar length allows multiple keys to be cut from a single piece
• Oversized designation supports press-fit or interference-fit keyway assemblies
• Sold individually, making it practical for low-volume or single-job procurement

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose oversized key stock bar for use in industrial power transmission applications where an oversized fit within a standard keyway is required. Verify keyway width and shaft diameter specifications before cutting and fitting.

Installation Notes

Key stock cutting and fitting is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a metal-cutting bandsaw, mill, or hacksaw, followed by deburring and fitting to the keyway. De-energize and lock out all rotating equipment before removing or installing any keys. Verify that the shaft, hub, and keyway dimensions are within tolerance before fitting to avoid damage to mating components. Follow applicable ANSI and OSHA lockout-tagout procedures during installation.
