Parallel Key

This document provides a checklist for inspecting parallel keys and keyways on shafts and hubs. It outlines 15 steps to check key fit, keyway dimensions and tolerances, shaft and hub fits, entry chamfers, wall thickness, clearances, fitting of keys, inspection of key fits, and testing the assembled joint for true running. Checks include dimensions, fits, finishes, clearances, and ability to smoothly insert keys. The goal is to ensure the parallel keys provide proper axial clamping of the shaft and hub components.
