Round Keyed Shafting 3/4″ Dia 3/16″ Keyway 3 ft – Bailey Shaft

Description

Product Overview

The Bailey round keyed shafting is engineered for demanding power‑transmission tasks across a wide range of industrial environments. With a 3/4 inch (19.05 mm) diameter, a 3/16 inch (4.76 mm) keyway, and a 3 ft (0.91 m) overall length, this shaft provides a balanced combination of strength, precision, and versatility. Constructed from hardened steel, the shaft is heat‑treated to achieve a high tensile strength that resists wear, deformation, and fatigue even under continuous load cycles. The precise machining of the keyway ensures a snug fit with compatible couplings, gears, and pulleys, minimizing backlash and maximizing torque efficiency. The shaft’s surface finish is optimized for reduced friction, contributing to smoother operation and lower energy consumption in rotating equipment. Designed to meet the rigorous standards of the industrial sector, this product is suitable for integration into custom machinery, retrofits, and new equipment designs where reliable power transfer is essential.
