Keyed bars are indispensable mechanical components in many industrial applications. Compliant with DIN 6880, these bars are used to transmit power and hold parts in place.

What is an inch wedge bar?

A key bar is a rectangular piece of metal inserted into corresponding grooves in two mechanical components to lock them together, enabling torque transmission and preventing relative movement between the parts.

Keyed bars with inch dimensions are commonly used in countries using the imperial system. These bars must conform to inch size specifications to ensure that they fit correctly on mechanical components.

DIN 6880

The DIN 6880 standard specifies the dimensions, tolerances and materials of keyed bars. This standard ensures that keybars are compatible and interchangeable, ensuring efficient installation and operation in mechanical systems.

Key bar applications

Power transmission

Key bars are widely used in power transmission systems to secure shafts to hubs, gears and pulleys, enabling efficient torque transmission.

Industrial machinery

In industrial machinery, keybars maintain the alignment and fastening of rotating components, ensuring smooth and safe operation of equipment.

Automotive and aeronautics

Keyway bars are also essential in steering systems, engines and transmissions for automotive and aerospace vehicles, where reliability and safety are paramount.

‍Benefits ofinch rib steel key bars

How to choose the right inch wedge bar?

Selection Criteria

To choose the appropriate keybar, it is important to consider:

  • Dimensions : The dimensions must match the grooves of the components to be assembled.
  • Material : The type of steel should be chosen according to the loads and conditions of use.
  • Standards : Make sure the bar complies with the relevant standards like DIN 6880.

In some industrial contexts, it is crucial to choose keybars with inch dimensions to ensure compatibility with equipment using the imperial system.

Installing an inch-key bar

Installation Steps

  1. Preparation : Check that the grooves on the components are clean and free of debris.
  2. Inserting the Bar : Insert the keyed bar into the groove in the shaft.
  3. Assembly : Slide the hub or pulley onto the shaft, aligning the groove with the keybar.

To install a keybar, you will need:

  • Hammer : To insert the keyed bar into the groove.
  • Punch : To properly align the bar in the groove.
  • Caliber : To check dimensional tolerances.
