APPLICATIONS

Automotive: It is used in the production of transmission components such as internal gears, shafts, and sprockets. Keyways also play a major role in steering systems to ensure alignment and synchronized movement.

Aerospace: In the aerospace sector, the primary usage is in actuators, control systems, and precision motion assemblies. The purpose of keyway and broaching here is to secure connections between mating components and rotating shafts to prevent slipping.

Industrial Machinery: In pumps, keyways and broaching are used to lock impellers and shafts. For compressors, the main purpose is to secure rotors with drive shafts and for conveyors, it is used in pulleys and sprockets for effective power transmission and secure coupling.

Robotics & Automation: Keyways and broaching are essential in servo motors as they assemble rotors and armatures. For indexing equipment such as rotary tables, they offer the capability to handle heavy loads and long-term, durable operation.

Agriculture & Heavy Equipment: Keyways and broaching serve the agricultural sector by manufacturing internal keyways for PTO driveshafts and gears. They also aid in high torque generation and durability in hydraulic drives of heavy machinery.

Energy Sector: Wind turbines use keyways and broaching to connect components such as gearboxes, shafts, and generators. It also helps create secure, precise and durable rotating power equipment with high torque generation capabilities.

Mining & Construction: Keyways and broaching are used in the mining sector for slots and hubs for high‑load rotating machinery.
