Value Collection KP25954 Undersized Key Stock 3/8x36 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP25954 is an undersized key stock bar used to secure rotating components such as gears, pulleys, and sprockets to shafts in mechanical power transmission assemblies. Measuring 3/8 inches high by 3/8 inches wide by 36 inches long, this bar stock is manufactured from cold drawn steel and finished with a zinc plating for corrosion resistance. The undersized profile allows for a controlled fit within standard keyways, accommodating slight dimensional variation in machined slots. It is typically cut to length on-site by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians during shaft assembly or repair work.

This key stock is suited for use in industrial and commercial mechanical systems wherever shaft-to-hub locking is required. Common applications include conveyor drives, pump shafts, fan assemblies, and general power transmission equipment. The 36-inch length provides enough stock to yield multiple cut pieces from a single bar, making it practical for shops and field service technicians who need to fit custom lengths. The cold drawn steel construction delivers consistent dimensional tolerances appropriate for undersized key stock applications.

Key Features

• Undersized profile for controlled fit in standard keyways
• Cold drawn steel construction for consistent dimensional tolerances
• Zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance
• 36-inch length allows multiple cuts from a single bar
• Square cross-section: 3/8 inches high by 3/8 inches wide

Compatibility

Designed as an undersized key stock replacement or new installation component for standard 3/8-inch keyways in shaft-and-hub assemblies across general industrial power transmission applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or millwright. Shut down and lock out all power to the equipment before servicing any shaft or rotating assembly. Key stock should be cut to the required length using appropriate metal cutting tools and deburred before installation. Follow applicable machinery safety standards and the equipment manufacturer specifications when fitting key stock into keyways.
