Description

30281 Shaft sleeve locating key
This is a genuine Mercury Marine part.

The shaft sleeve locating key is a precision mechanical component designed to secure and position sleeves, couplings, or gears on rotating shafts in marine propulsion systems. This key ensures precise angular alignment and prevents relative rotation between the shaft and mounted components, maintaining torque transmission integrity under high loads. Manufactured to exact tolerances, it guarantees a snug fit in keyways, reducing wear and avoiding premature failure in critical drivetrain assemblies.
This product range includes square keys, Woodruff keys, and tapered keys engineered for specific shaft diameters, torque requirements, and application environments. Each key features precisely machined surfaces, hardened materials, and corrosion-resistant treatments to meet the demanding standards of Mercury marine systems. Proper selection based on shaft specifications and load conditions is essential for optimal power transmission and operational safety.
Manufactured from high-strength stainless steel or alloy steel with protective coatings, these keys withstand shear stresses, marine corrosion, and prolonged exposure to water and vibration. Precision grinding ensures dimensional accuracy, while chamfered edges facilitate installation and reduce stress concentration.
Regular inspection and replacement of shaft sleeve locating keys help prevent keyway deformation, slippage, or component misalignment. Whether used in propeller shafts, pump assemblies, or gearbox connections, this component provides a reliable solution for maintaining mechanical integrity and ensuring long-term performance in marine applications.
