DIN 6885 is a German standard that defines the parameters and dimensions of steel splines. A key is a product used to connect rotating parts, such as shafts and rings. The key is fixed in special grooves on the parts and has a rectangular or square shape. Steel keys that comply with DIN 6885 have precise geometric dimensions and shapes that ensure a secure connection between parts. These keys are made of high-quality steel and can withstand heavy loads and various operating conditions. Steel keys are used in various industries where it is necessary to ensure accurate transmission of torque between shafts and rings.
DIN 6885 fastening group
The DIN 6885 key belongs to the stainless steel fastener group.
Materials for the manufacture of DIN 6885 keys
The following materials are used to manufacture DIN 6885 keys:
- Steel
- Stainless steel grades A4 and A5. Steel grades A5 and A5 allow the fasteners to be used at high temperature extremes and in aggressive and humid environments.
Application range of DIN 6885 keys
DIN 6885 steel keys are commonly used to connect shafts and rings in various mechanisms and devices where precise torque transmission is required. These splines provide a secure connection and allow the parts to rotate together, which ensures efficient operation of the mechanism.
For example, steel keys DIN 6885 can be used in the following applications:
- In vehicle mechanisms, such as automobiles, where keys are used to connect engine shafts to the transmission or wheel shafts to the brake system.
- In industrial pumps and compressors, where keyways are used to connect shafts to rotor blades and impellers.
- In industrial automation mechanisms, where keys are used to connect electric motor shafts to gearboxes and other devices.
In general, steel keys of DIN 6885 are widely used in industry and mechanical engineering to connect shafts and rings and ensure reliable operation of mechanisms.
