How is parallel key size determined?
Key width and height are strictly governed by shaft diameter in DIN 6885-1. Key length is sized based on allowable surface contact pressure and shear stress.
Determine metric parallel key dimensions (width, height, length) and keyway depth according to DIN 6885 standard based on shaft diameter.
