uxcell® 100mmx5mmx5mm Carbon Steel Straight Key Stock Gray 14pcs

Description

Product Overview

The uxcell straight key stock is engineered from high‑grade carbon steel, delivering a balance of hardness and machinability that meets the demanding standards of industrial and hobbyist applications. Each key blank measures precisely 100mm in length, 5mm in width, and 5mm in height, providing a compact yet robust component that fits seamlessly into a wide range of mechanical assemblies. Finished in a neutral gray coating, the stock not only resists corrosion but also offers a professional appearance that complements any workshop environment. The package contains fourteen individually wrapped pieces, ensuring that each key remains protected from dust, moisture, and handling damage until the moment of use.

Dimensions are verified against the model number a17092900ux0151, guaranteeing consistency across every batch. The total package weight of 263g makes the set easy to transport while still delivering the mass needed for stable machining operations. Package dimensions of 5.5 x 3.7 x 0.25 inches allow the set to be stored in standard toolboxes, drawer compartments, or on shelving units without consuming excessive space. With a competitive price point of $8.99, the uxcell key stock presents an economical solution for professionals seeking reliable raw material without compromising on quality.

Usage

Designed for versatility, the straight key stock excels in a variety of settings. In precision machining workshops, technicians use the blanks to fabricate custom keys for gear drives, camshafts, and timing belts, where exact dimensions are critical for synchronizing mechanical motion. Model makers appreciate the uniform size and smooth finish, allowing them to craft scale replicas of historic machinery, automotive components, or miniature engines with confidence. Hobbyists engaged in DIY electronics, robotics, or small‑scale fabrication find the stock ideal for creating mounting brackets, spacer pins, or prototype connectors that require both strength and a clean aesthetic.

The gray finish reduces glare under bright workshop lighting, making it easier to inspect the workpiece for defects or wear. Because the material is carbon steel, users can heat‑treat the blanks to achieve desired hardness levels, then perform final machining operations such as drilling, tapping, or grinding. The set’s consistency ensures that each key behaves predictably during these processes, minimizing material waste and reducing setup time. Whether you are assembling a small‑scale transmission, repairing a vintage motor, or building a custom robotic arm, the uxcell straight key stock provides a dependable foundation.

FAQ

What is the recommended heat‑treatment process for these carbon steel key blanks?

For most applications, a simple annealing cycle followed by a tempering step at 200‑300 °C will provide a good balance of hardness and toughness. Adjust the tempering temperature based on the final hardness required for your specific use.

Can the gray finish be removed or painted over if a different color is needed?

Yes, the gray coating can be stripped using a mild abrasive or chemical paint remover. After cleaning, the surface can be primed and painted to match any color scheme, provided the underlying steel is properly prepared.

Are these key blanks compatible with standard machining tools?

Absolutely. The blanks are sized to work with common CNC mills, lathes, and manual drilling rigs. Their uniform dimensions make them ideal for batch processing and automated production lines.

What is the tolerance on the key dimensions?

All dimensions are held within ±0.02 mm, ensuring tight fit and repeatability across the entire 14‑piece set.

Do you offer larger quantity packs for industrial customers?

Yes, bulk orders are available. Please contact our sales team for pricing and availability of larger packs or custom packaging options.
