Key steel is an essential element for many industrial applications. Made to DIN 6880 standards, these bars are used to ensure power is transmitted effectively and to keep the parts in place.
Bars of key steel are used to make metal parts called keys. Keys are inserted into designated grooves (keyways) in two mechanical components, locking them together, allowing for the transmission of torque and preventing relative movement between the parts.
Key steel with inch measurements is commonly used in countries that use imperial units of measurement. These bars must meet inch size specifications to ensure they fit the mechanical components properly.
The German DIN 6880 standard defines the dimensions, tolerances and materials for key steel. This industry standard makes sure that key steels are compatible and interchangeable, so that they are easy to install and run smoothly in mechanical systems.
Power transmission
Key steel is widely used to make keys for power transmission systems, attaching shafts to hubs, gears, and pulleys for effective torque transmission.
Industrial machinery
Bright 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 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 sector, where reliability and safety are paramount.
Stability & durability
Key steel is extremely sturdy and durable, capable of withstanding high loads and tough operating conditions.
Precision & compatibility
Compliant with DIN 6880 standards, these cold-drawn key steel bars with imperial sizes offer good dimensional accuracy and guaranteed compatibility, for easier integration into a range of mechanical systems.
Wear resistance
Our high-quality steel bars boast excellent wear resistance, which makes for longer-lasting joints.
Things to consider when choosing the right key steel for you
Take into account:
In some contexts, it is crucial to use key steel with dimensions in inches to ensure compatibility with equipment using the imperial system.
Install steps
To install a key, make sure you have a:
Key success stories
Various companies in the manufacturing, automotive, and aeronautical sectors can testify to the effectiveness of our key steel in their everyday operations.
Increasing productivity
Businesses have noted that using DIN 6800 key steel bars has significantly reduced their downtime and maintenance costs.
Conclusion
In short, key steel, especially when manufactured in line with DIN 6880, is essential in a wide range of industrial applications. These bars' inch measurements means they are perfectly compatible with systems using imperial measurements. This steel's precision, sturdiness and wear resistance makes it an ideal choice for power transmission and fastening rotating components.
