Feature(may vary by option.)

●Size: Length: 25mm/0.98"; Width: 10mm/0.39"; Thickness: 8mm/0.31"
●Material: Made of #45 carbon steel, it has higher hardness; Finish: Polished
●Feature: The Woodruff keys is a semi-circular disc and fit into a circular recess in the shafts, which is machined by a Woodruff keyway cutter. These Woodruff keys are mostly used in machines, tools & shafts.
●Advantage: More precise fit of the key and also reduces keyway play and stress concentrations, and improves the reliability of the key.
●Application: Woodruff is commonly used in machine tools, for example, between the flywheel and crankshaft of a small internal combustion engine, where the drive depends largely on the fit between the shaft and the cone-bored flywheel hub.

Description

11

  • Woodruff keys are semi-circular keys that are commonly used for mechanical applications. It fits in a half-moon shaped slot, in a shaft, leaving the flat side of the tab exposed. They are designed not to function when excessive force is placed on the shaft, used for mechanical applications.

Advantages

  • This is an easily adjustable key.
  • This hub is capable of accommodating any taper in the keyway,
  • This is a more precise fit of the key and also reduces keyway play and stress concentrations, and improves the reliability of the key.
  • This ends milling near the shaft shoulders, where stress concentrations and concentrations will be affected.
  • This is especially important for high-speed operation.
