Round Keyed Shafting: 7/8″ Dia. 3/16 Keyway, 3 ft. Length

Description

Product Overview

The Bailey round keyed shafting is engineered for demanding power transmission tasks. Constructed from high‑grade carbon steel, the shaft provides a 7/8 inch (22 mm) diameter that balances strength and weight, while the full 3/16 inch (4.8 mm) keyway ensures a secure fit with compatible hubs and couplings. At a length of three feet (91 cm), the shaft offers ample reach for a variety of machine configurations, from conveyor drives to gearboxes. The precision machining process delivers tight tolerances, guaranteeing smooth rotation and minimal vibration. This product meets industry standards for mechanical keyed shafts, making it a reliable choice for engineers seeking durability and performance.

Usage

Designed for industrial environments, this shaft excels in applications such as material handling equipment, agricultural machinery, and manufacturing automation. Its robust dimensions allow it to transmit high torque loads without deformation, while the full keyway prevents slippage under dynamic conditions. Installers will find the standard 7/8 inch diameter compatible with a wide range of bearings, pulleys, and sprockets, reducing the need for custom adapters. The three‑foot length provides flexibility for both compact and extended drive layouts, making it suitable for retrofit projects and new equipment builds alike.
