ASME B17.1 Document Information:
Title
KEYS AND KEYSEATS
ASME International
Publication Date:
Jan 1, 1967
Scope:
This standard establishes a uniform relationship between shaft size
and key size for parallel
and taper keys retaining similar basic sizing as found in the
withdrawn B17.1-1943 standard.
This standard covers the size, type and tolerances of parallel and
taper keys and keyseats, and
their relationship to shaft diameters and bore diameters. The sizes
and tolerances contained in
this standard are intended for single key applications only.
Key strength and steel analysis entering into the makeup of stock for
keys is not within the scope
of this standard. Shaft diameters are listed for identification of
various key sizes and are not
intended to establish shaft dimensions, tolerances or selections.
This standard recognizes that there are two classes of stock for
parallel keys presently used by
industry. One is a broad negative toleranced bar stock and the other
is a close plus toleranced
keystock. Each is combined with appropriate keyseat tolerances to
establish assemblies,
respectively, designated as Classes 1 and 2.
Taper keys are established for Class 2 assembly only.
