Value Collection KP1910 Undersized Key Stock 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP1910 is an undersized key stock bar used to secure rotating components — such as gears, pulleys, and sprockets — to shafts in mechanical drive assemblies. Measuring 3/16 inches high by 3/16 inches wide by 12 inches long, this piece is machined from 18-8 stainless steel, offering corrosion resistance suitable for wet, washdown, or mildly corrosive environments. The undersized designation means the cross-section is ground slightly below nominal to allow installation without hammering or deformation, ensuring a clean fit into standard keyways. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, and machine assemblers install this type of key stock during shaft assembly or when replacing worn drive components.

This key stock is suited for light-duty to medium-duty shaft-to-hub applications across general industrial, food-processing, marine, and commercial equipment settings. The 12-inch length can be cut to the required segment length with standard metalworking tools, making one piece usable across multiple jobs or keyway sizes. Its stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice where carbon steel would corrode or where FDA-adjacent washdown environments require a more corrosion-resistant material.

Key Features

• Undersized cross-section for clean keyway fitment without hammering
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or washdown environments
• 3/16 inches x 3/16 inches square profile fits standard 3/16-inch keyways
• 12-inch length can be cut to required size with a hacksaw or metal chop saw
• Single-piece quantity suitable for targeted replacement or low-volume use

Compatibility

Designed as an undersized replacement key stock for standard 3/16-inch keyway applications in mechanical shaft-and-hub assemblies across industrial and commercial equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a millwright or maintenance technician. Disengage and lock out all power to the drive system before removing or installing any shaft components. Measure and cut the key stock to the required length before fitting; deburr cut edges to prevent keyway damage. Verify shaft and hub keyway dimensions before installation to confirm proper undersized fit.
