Notes

  • *1 Keys with nominal dimensions noted in brackets are not specified in the corresponding international standard and are not used for new designs.
  • *2 The compatible shaft diameter is determined from the torque corresponding to the key strength, shown as a guide for general applications. If the size of the key is appropriate for the torque to be transmitted, a shaft larger than the compatible shaft diameter can be used. In this case, it is advisable to repair t1 and t2 so that the sides of the key are evenly applied to the shaft and hub. It should not be used for shafts thinner than the compatible shaft diameter.
  • *3 Keys with nominal dimensions noted in brackets should be used as little as possible.
    The boss groove should generally have a 1/100th gradient.
  • *4 ℓ shall be chosen from the table.
    In principle, the dimensional tolerance of ℓ shall be h12 as shown in JIS B0401 (dimensional tolerance or engagement).
    6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22,25,28,32,36,40,45,50,56,63,70,80,90,100,110,125,140,160,180,200,220,250,280,320,360,400
  • *5: The compatible shaft diameter should be compatible with the torque relative to the key strength.
