1/4" x 1-1/2" Machine Key for CPLG5016 Chain (Grade 1018 Steel)
SKU: P-SE-2034
The P-SE-2034 (0953162) is a precision-cut mechanical fastener made from 1018 Low Carbon Steel. It is specifically designed as an "undersized" key, which allows for a slightly easier fit into standard 1/4-inch keyways compared to a "finished" or "oversized" key. This is particularly helpful in car wash environments where minor surface oxidation or debris might make tight-tolerance fits difficult.
Tommy Car Wash System Application
- This machine key is an essential component for the following Tommy systems:
- Drying Rack Coupler and Chain: Used to secure the connection between the electric motor and the drying rack drive assembly.
- Conveyor Belt System: It locks the shaft and the CPLG5016 chain coupling together, preventing the coupling from spinning freely on the shaft under heavy loads.
Function and Installation
The machine key way slides into the square-cut opening on the coupling and is then seated into the matching slot on the drive shaft. By occupying the space between both components, it creates a mechanical lock that forces the coupling and shaft to rotate as a single unit.
