Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How does a keyed shaft work?

A.

• A keyed shaft works by using a keyway, which is a groove machined into the shaft.
• A key is then inserted into the keyway, which locks the components such as gears and pulleys onto the shaft. This secure connection between the shaft and the component allows for the transmission of power and torque from the shaft to the component.
• When the shaft rotates, the keyed component also rotates with it, allowing for the efficient transfer of power and torque.
• The key helps to prevent slippage between the shaft and the component, which can improve the performance and longevity of the machinery.
