Keys

Keys are vital components used in mechanical and engineering systems to secure and transmit torque between rotating parts such as shafts and gears, pulleys, or couplings. They ensure that machine components are firmly connected and operate without slipping. By providing a secure mechanical lock, they maintain alignment and improve efficiency, making them essential for the smooth operation of heavy-duty and precision equipment in different sectors in the UK. Their simplicity and effectiveness make keys a cornerstone of reliable mechanical assemblies.
