Key Stock Carbon Steel Zinc Clear (Inch)
Our Carbon Steel Key Stock with a Zinc Clear finish is a precision‑machined mechanical component designed for reliable torque transmission and shaft‑to‑hub alignment in power‑transmission assemblies. Manufactured from high‑quality carbon steel, this key stock provides dependable shear strength, dimensional accuracy, and consistent fit for use in machinery and mechanical drive systems.
Key stock is installed in a keyway machined into both a shaft and its mating component—such as a gear, pulley, sprocket, or coupling—creating a positive mechanical connection that prevents relative rotation. The Zinc Clear (trivalent chromium) plating adds corrosion resistance and a clean, bright appearance, helping protect the key stock during handling, storage, and service while meeting modern environmental compliance standards.
Designed for versatility and durability, Zinc Clear Carbon Steel Key Stock is commonly used in industrial machinery, motors, pumps, conveyors, gearboxes, agricultural equipment, and general power‑transmission applications. The zinc coating helps resist rust in indoor and light‑to‑moderate outdoor environments without compromising machinability, allowing key stock to be easily cut to precise lengths for custom installations. Available in a wide range of widths and thicknesses, this key stock provides a dependable solution for OEM manufacturing, maintenance, and repair operations requiring accurate torque transfer and added corrosion protection.
