Value Collection C676616 Oversized Key Stock 36in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C676616 is an oversized key stock bar used to secure rotating components such as gears, pulleys, and sprockets to shafts in mechanical drive systems. Manufactured from cold drawn steel with a zinc-plated finish, this key stock delivers reliable shear strength and corrosion resistance in standard industrial and maintenance applications. The bar measures 36 inches in length, giving technicians and machinists ample material to cut to finished key length on the job or at the shop. It is suited for use in maintenance, repair, and fabrication work across manufacturing, agricultural, and general industrial settings.

This oversized key stock is intended for applications where a standard key size does not meet dimensional requirements and a larger cross-section is needed to handle higher torque loads or fit non-standard keyway dimensions. Typical install scenarios include shaft-and-hub assemblies in conveyor systems, pump drives, compressor drives, and similar rotating machinery. The zinc-plated finish provides a base level of corrosion protection during storage and in light-duty environments.

Key Features

• Oversized key stock profile for non-standard keyway fits and higher torque applications
• Cold drawn steel construction provides consistent dimensional tolerance and surface finish
• Zinc-plated finish resists surface corrosion during storage and light service
• 36-inch length allows on-site cutting to required finished key length
• Single-piece packaging with a minimum order quantity of 1

Compatibility

Designed as an oversized replacement or fabrication key stock for shaft-and-hub assemblies requiring non-standard key dimensions in industrial drive and mechanical power transmission systems.

Installation Notes

Key stock installation is typically performed by millwrights, machinists, or maintenance mechanics using a saw, file, and appropriate measuring tools to cut and fit the key to the keyway. Always de-energize and lock out the drive system before removing or installing any shaft components. Ensure keyway dimensions in both shaft and hub are clean and within tolerance before fitting. Do not force an oversized key into an undersized keyway without proper material removal.
