Prism Key 6x6x14 A - Steel Machine Element

Application in Power Transmission Systems

Main Description

The Prism Key 6x6x14 A is a standardized steel machine element used to create a secure mechanical connection between a shaft and a hub. It ensures accurate alignment and prevents slippage during torque transmission. The letter A refers to DIN 6885A, which defines a full-profile, rounded parallel key with precise tolerances for consistent and repeatable assembly.

The dimensions 6x6x14 mm represent the width, height, and length of the key, making it suitable for commonly used shaft keyways in industrial drive systems. Manufactured from high-strength steel, the key offers excellent durability, torsional resistance, and mechanical stability under dynamic industrial loads.

This key type is widely used in pulleys, gears, couplings, transmission systems, bearing housings, and various industrial drive assemblies. Its standardized form allows quick installation, easy replacement, and seamless integration with both new and existing machinery. The compact size and high reliability make it an essential component in precision mechanical systems.

Key Advantages
