Keys

100 years of expertise in the manufacture of our keys

Keys are mechanical parts used to connect two rotating elements, such as a shaft and a pulley or a gear. The function of mechanical keys is to:

  • Bringing two rotating parts together.
  • Transmit torque from a shaft to a hub.
  • Prevent parts from sliding.

Keys come in various forms:

Keys play a crucial role in various industries by ensuring a reliable and durable connection between mechanical components.

These small parts, often overlooked but essential, are designed to provide a solid connection between two elements, such as shafts and hubs, in a machine or mechanism.

The 2 main families of keys

Parallel keys - keys shape a din 6885

Les A-shaped keys or standard keys are among the most popular models.

With a rectangular shape, it fits into a specific groove, thus offering ease of assembly and disassembly. This key is widely used in various sectors such as the mechanical industry, drive technology, transmission, and many other fields.

Each type of key meets specific needs and offers solutions adapted to various mechanical requirements.

That's why our parallel keys are available in variants such as the shape a key, the form b key, the c key and the inclined key.

With an emphasis on quality, our range of keys made in Villefranche from steel bar And of stainless steel bar ensures optimal strength and durability. The dimensions of the keys meet established standards, guaranteeing seamless integration into various mechanical applications.

In addition, our offer includes installation and extraction accessories such as a Key extractor, thus facilitating the maintenance and replacement process. With clearly defined standards, our parallel keys meet the most stringent sizing and quality requirements.

The din 6888 half-moon disc keys

Now let's move on to disc keys nfe 22179 or half moon keys DIN 6888.
The half-moon keys are distinguished by a mesmerizing cross section, evoking the beauty of a crescent moon.

They are specially designed to adapt to corresponding grooves, ensuring a solid assembly and optimal force transmission.

Disc keys are preferred in areas such as drive technology, agriculture, the food industry and construction machinery.

As with parallel keys, each type of half-moon key meets specific standards, ensuring quality and reliability in line with industry requirements.

Integrating a disc key into your mechanical system respects established standards, thus guaranteeing a robust and secure mechanical connection.

Trust our century-old expertise to provide you with your half moon keys compliant with the most stringent standards, adapted to your applications in various industrial sectors.

What is the use of keys?

Keys find their main uses in a variety of industrial machines, including motors, machine tools, and manufacturing equipment.

Their applications also extend to specific contexts such as conveyor systems, lifting equipment, transport and agricultural machinery, for example, A-shaped keys or din 6885 parallel keys are often used to assemble a motor vehicle driveshaft.

Gardette Industries establishes partnerships with various sectors such as automotive, aeronautics, aeronautics, textiles, nuclear, as well as the production of molds, motors and pumps.

What are the advantages of using keys?

The keys offer simplicity and efficiency for assembling two rotating parts.

High power transmission

The keys are designed to transmit high power efficiently.

For example, a 25 mm wide key ensures more than 700 Nm of torque, offering a robust option for high power transmission needs.

Stability and reliability

Ensuring a solid connection between the assembled elements, the keys guarantee dimensional stability and precision, essential in applications requiring optimal performance.

Outstanding durability

Made of treated steel or stainless steel, the keys are resistant to corrosion, wear and various damages, thus ensuring a long life of the assembly, even under difficult conditions.

Easy installation

Easy to install and replace thanks to simple assembly procedures, the keys allow for quick and efficient assembly of equipment, saving time and effort.

Expanded availability

Widely used and available in various sizes, shapes and configurations, keys are easily accessible on the market, offering a solution adapted to each specific application.

Standardized design

Manufactured according to strict standards, the keys are easily integrated into existing assemblies or new designs, ensuring the strength and reliability of the assemblies.
