GOST 24071-97 is a semicircular segmental key. A key is a type of fastener that provides a rotational connection to a structure. Unlike prismatic dowels, segmental dowels are much simpler. They are also particularly precise and can be interchanged without the need for manual setting and fitting. Segmental keys are characterized by their strong fixation in the shaft groove. This is what prevents it from distorting, deforming, or turning out.
Materials for the manufacture of GOST 24071-97 keys
Keys of GOST 24071-97 are made exclusively of steel.
The scope of application of GOST 24071-97 keys
Segmental keys of GOST 24071-97 are used in assemblies in mechanical engineering and other types of industrial production. They can often be found in various electric tools and mechanisms. GOST 24071-97 is indispensable because the assemblies connected with their help are more durable. These keys are deeper in the splines, which strengthens the connection of the parts. Preparation of grooves in shafts for this type of fastener is quite simple, so it is not costly.
GOST 24071-97 is widely used in mechanical engineering, as a part of cars and mechanisms, but it can also be seen in construction.
