About Industrial Machine Parallel Keys

A "machine key" isa mechanical component, typically a small piece of metal, used to securely connect a rotating element like a gear or pulley to a shaft, preventing relative rotation between the two parts and ensuring efficient transmission of torque;essentially acting as a locking mechanism to prevent slippage while power is transferred between components in a machine.

Function:

They fit into specially designed grooves called "keyways" on both the shaft and the rotating component, preventing them from spinning independently of each other.
Types:

Different types of machine keys exist based on their shape, including square keys, Woodruff keys, parallel keys, and taper keys, each suited for specific applications.
Material:

Machine keys are usually made from a strong, durable metal like carbon steel, sometimes with a slightly softer material than the shaft to act as a sacrificial component in case of excessive torque.
Applications:

Found in a wide range of machinery including motors, gearboxes, and power transmission systems.
