When a key is inserted in the keyway, the pins are pushed towards the body a distance depending on the shape of the key.
However, it can produce the most accurate keyway out of all the processes.
Based on the usage of the coupling a keyway is made in the bore in order to transmit the torque by means of the key.
The major keyway is a projection on the plug casing that aligns with a notch on the socket.
In addition to the colour-coding the voltage and frequency are encoded by the keyway position.
The blank has a specific cross-sectional profile to match the keyway in a corresponding lock cylinder.
The keyway is a longitudinal slot in both the shaft and mating part.
Bumping the key inward forces it deeper into the keyway.
