Plain Bore Yoke Type B-Keyway for PTO Shaft

The Plain Bore Yoke Type B-Keyway adds a precision-broached keyway slot to the cylindrical bore, enabling a key-and-keyway positive drive connection that absolutely prevents rotational slippage between the yoke and shaft. While Type A relies on pin shear strength for rotational drive, Type B transfers torque through the key’s flat bearing surfaces — distributing load more evenly and handling significantly higher torque ratings. Essential for high-torque gearbox connections and precision equipment where zero angular displacement is required.

Description

Plain Bore Yoke Type B (Keyway) — Zero-Slip Keyed Connection for High-Torque PTO Applications

Plain Bore Yoke Type B-Keyway for PTO Shaft

The Plain Bore Yoke Type B-Keyway upgrades the standard cylindrical bore with a precision-broached keyway, transforming it from a pin-dependent to a key-driven connection. A standard parallel key seated in the matching keyway creates a positive mechanical interlock that transfers torque through compressive bearing surfaces rather than pin shear. This results in significantly higher torque capacity, zero rotational play, and predictable load distribution. Type B is specified for applications where rotational accuracy matters — gearbox inputs, precision equipment, and any shaft connection where even microscopic angular slippage is unacceptable.

⭐ Key Features & Benefits

🔑 Precision-Broached Keyway

Machine-cut keyway slot to DIN 6885 standard ensures exact key fit and maximum load-bearing contact area.

💪 Superior Torque Transfer

Key-driven connection handles 2-3× the torque of an equivalent pin-hole yoke before any risk of failure.

⚖ Zero Angular Slippage

The key-and-keyway interlock eliminates rotational play — critical for timing-sensitive equipment like seed drills and precision applicators.

📐 DIN 6885 Standard Keys

Keyway dimensions correspond to standard key sizes (6×6 through 14×9 mm), ensuring readily available key stock.

🔧 Controlled Bore + Keyway

Both bore (H7) and keyway (P9/JS9) are machined to standard tolerances for predictable, repeatable assembly.

🔥 Hardened Keyway Surfaces

Keyway edges are induction hardened to resist peening and deformation under heavy cyclic loading.

🔄 Compatibility Information

Fits cylindrical shafts with standard DIN 6885 keyways in 20-45 mm diameter range. Compatible with gearbox inputs from all major manufacturers including Comer, Bondioli, Brevini, SEW-Eurodrive, and Nord Drivesystems. Also fits industrial pump, mixer, and conveyor drive shafts.

📚 Selection Guide

Step 1 — Measure Shaft & Keyway: Record shaft diameter, keyway width, and keyway depth. Match to the E, D, and F dimensions.

Step 2 — Verify Key Standard: Most applications use DIN 6885 parallel keys. Confirm your shaft uses this standard.

Step 3 — Select Appropriate Key Material: Standard C45 steel keys for normal duty. Stainless keys for corrosive environments.

🌾 Typical Application Scenarios

⚙ Gearbox & Reducer Inputs
Right-angle gearboxes, speed reducers, and power distribution boxes requiring keyed shaft connections
🌱 Precision Equipment
Seed drills, precision planters, and metering devices where zero angular play is critical
💧 Industrial Pumps
High-torque pump drives where pin retention would be inadequate
🔧 Conveyor & Processing
Industrial conveyors, mixers, and processing machinery with keyed shaft inputs

🛠 Installation & Usage Guide

  1. Insert key into shaft keyway: Seat a standard DIN 6885 key into the shaft keyway first.
  2. Align yoke keyway: Orient the yoke so its keyway aligns with the key protruding from the shaft.
  3. Slide yoke onto shaft: Push the yoke onto the shaft, ensuring the key engages the yoke keyway smoothly.
  4. Secure axially: Use a set screw, circlip, or end plate to prevent axial movement (Type B does not include axial retention — add separately if needed).
  5. Check key fit: There should be no rotational play. If loose, the key may be undersized — replace with the correct size.
  6. Assemble PTO shaft: Install cross kit and remaining components.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Does Type B include axial retention?
No. The keyway provides rotational drive only. For axial retention, add a circlip, set screw, or use Type C (keyway + threaded hole) or Type D (keyway + clamp bolt).
What key material should I use?
Standard C45 steel for most applications. For 316 stainless in food/marine environments or hardened keys for extreme torque.
How much more torque can a keyway handle versus a pin?
Typically 2-3× depending on key and bore size, because the key transfers load through compression rather than shear.
Can I use Type B on a shaft without a keyway?
No. The shaft must have a matching keyway machined into it. If your shaft has only a pin hole, use Type A.
What is the keyway tolerance standard?
Keyways are broached to DIN 6885 with P9 or JS9 width tolerance, ensuring standard key fit.
Are the keys included with the yoke?
Keys are not included as they should be matched to the shaft keyway. Standard DIN 6885 keys are widely available.
