Overview
GOST 23360-78 is a German standard that defines the parameters and dimensions of steel keys. 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 GOST 23360-78 have precise geometric dimensions and shapes that ensure reliable connection of 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.
Fastening group of GOST 23360-78
Keys in accordance with GOST 23360-78 belong to the stainless steel fastener group.
Materials for the manufacture of GOST 23360-78 keys
Keys of GOST 23360-78 are made of the following materials:
- Steel
- Stainless steel grades A4 and A5. Steel grades A5 and A5 allow the fasteners to be used at significant temperature changes and in aggressive and humid environments.
Application range of GOST 23360-78 keys
GOST 23360-78 steel keys are commonly used to connect shafts and rings in various mechanisms and devices where precise torque transmission is required. These keys provide a secure connection and allow the parts to rotate together, which ensures efficient operation of the mechanism.
For example, steel keys in accordance with GOST 23360-78 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 GOST 23360-78 are widely used in industry and mechanical engineering to connect shafts and rings and ensure reliable operation of mechanisms.
