Keyway Size Chart

Keyway size is selected from shaft diameter and the applicable key standard. Use the calculator to look up standard key width, height and keyway depths.

What a keyway chart gives

  • Key width: the across-width size selected for the shaft range.
  • Key height: the standard rectangular or square key height.
  • Shaft and hub depth: how far the keyway is cut into each part.

Best workflow

Enter shaft diameter in the keyway calculator instead of guessing from a generic table.
