Id keyway slotting is a machining process used to create a keyway, a slot or groove, in a component such as a gear, pulley, or shaft. This keyway allows a key, typically a small metal piece, to be inserted into the slot, providing a mechanical connection between the shaft and the hub of a machine part. This connection helps in transmitting torque and ensuring the alignment of the components.
An ID (Internal Diameter) keyway slotting service is a specialized machining service that creates keyways inside the bore or internal diameter of a component, such as a gear, pulley, or hub. This is particularly important when a secure and precise fit is needed between the shaft and the component to transmit torque.
