A key is a mechanical part used to connect two rotating elements, such as a shaft and a pulley or gear, enabling the transmission of motion and force.
It comes in a variety of forms, such as the disk key, the straight-end key or the 2-round-end key.
Keys are essential in many industries to ensure a reliable and durable connection between mechanical components.
Theparallel key is the most popular and widely used key design.
It has a rectangular body that fits into specific grooves. Parallel keys are easy to assemble and disassemble. This makes them ideal for use in a wide variety of sectors, including mechanical engineering, drive technology, transmission technology and many others.
Our selection of parallel key
The Form B key is designed to fit perfectly into a keyway machined in the shaft and mounted element. Key dimensions vary according to assembly specifications and industry standards.
Key standards testify to the interchangeability and standardization of mechanical components.
This ensures that components made by different manufacturers are compatible, which is essential for repairs and replacements.
In 90% of cases, keys are made from carbon steel, stainless steel or aluminum alloys, but for special requirements, we can manufacture custom keys in specific materials.
The form A key is similar to form B, but differs in that it is flat without rounded edges. It is used in applications where a tighter fit is required.
The C-key, on the other hand, has a half-moon cross-section, making it easier to install in certain configurations. It is often used in assemblies where frequent de-installation is required.
Compared to forms A and C, form B offers a compromise between ease of installation and robustness of assembly. It is particularly appreciated for its ability to reduce backlash and maintain precise alignment.
On request, we can offer you different materials, dimensions and tolerances, drillings, as well as heat and surface treatments.

We are committed to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and plan to obtain ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certification in 2024.
We are currently forming a multi-disciplinary group to reduce our carbon footprint. As part of this initiative, we will be carrying out a full carbon assessment (SCOPES 1, 2 and 3) during 2023, which will enable us to evaluate our overall environmental impact.
