What Is Key Stock?
Key stock is a versatile product used in manufacturing machinery and in shops. In manufacturing, key stock is used to create shaft keys, also known as machine keys or shaft keys. These are essential components in a power transmission application where torque is transmitted from a rotating shaft to the attached gear. These shafts are also used as a “first defense” or "sacrificial part" because they are designed to be the first thing to break which can keep more expensive components from being damaged.
