Description
A woodruff key also known as a half‑moon key is a semi-circular machine shaft key that prevents gears hubs or other components from moving independently of a rotating shaft or spindle. Woodruff keys are inserted into a key seat created by a woodruff key cutter or arbor cutter. A gear or other component with a woodruff keyway is then pressed onto the shaft until the woodruff key interfaces with its keyway.
