Bars of bright key steel play an essential role in many different mechanical and industrial applications, allowing for power transmission, as well as keeping parts in place. A4 stainless steel key bars made to DIN 6880 are particularly known for their high precision and sturdiness.
Key steel is used to make keys - mechanical components which are in turn inserted into specially designated grooves in two mechanical components to lock them together, thus allowing for effective torque transmission and preventing relative movement between the parts.
The German industry standard DIN 6880 lays out the necessary dimensions, tolerances and materials for key steel. This standard ensures that key bars are compatible and interchangeable, making for efficient installation and operation in mechanical systems.
h9 tolerance means a high degree of dimensional accuracy for bright key steel, ensuring a perfect fit in the grooves (keyways) on mechanical components. Such precision is vital for applications where reliability and security are required.
h9 steel is the ideal combination of hardness, wear resistance and durability, making it an excellent choice for key steel. It is designed to withstand shear and torsional forces, offering reliable performance even in harsh conditions.
Power transmission
Keys made from h9 key steel are widely used in power transmission systems to fasten shafts to hubs, gears, and pulleys, so that torque can be transmitted effectively.
Industrial machinery
h9 key steel can be used to maintain alignment and fasten rotating components in industrial machines, making sure they work smoothly and safely.
Automotive & aeronautics
Our bars of h9 key steel can be used to make essential components (i.e. keys) for steering systems, engines and transmissions in both motor vehicles and the aeronautical industry, where reliability and safety are paramount.
Precision & compatibility
With their h9 tolerance, these steel bars offer exceptional dimensional accuracy, allowing for perfect compatibility with DIN 6880 standard mechanical components.
Stability & durability
h9 steel is extremely robust and durable, capable of withstanding high loads and harsh operating conditions for extra long-lasting joints.
