Steelworks square key stock is a precision-machined steel bar used to lock a pulley, gear, sprocket, or hub onto a shaft so it transmits torque without slipping. Each 12" length cuts down to the exact key length your application needs, and the square profile drops directly into standard ASME B17.1 keyways.

• 3/16" square key stock, 12" long
• Machined to ASME B17.1 standard dimensions for a clean keyway fit
• Zinc-plated low-carbon steel resists surface rust before and after installation
• Standard pairing: shafts 5/8" to 7/8"
• Light pumps, small electric motors, blower and exhaust fan shafts, and household appliance drives
• Cuts to length with a hacksaw, bandsaw, or abrasive cut-off wheel

Tip: Test fit before final assembly; if the key drops in without resistance, the keyway is oversized and the key should be replaced with a tighter fit.
