A machine key is a mechnical component used to connect a revolving machine part to a shaft. This combination aids the key in preventing movement between the components and allows torque or force to be released, without causing any type of stress or wear and tear to the machine.

Machine Keys have a wide range of applications in our daily lives. Machine Keys are used in power transmissions, machine tools, motors, speed reducers, variators, automobiles, motorcycles, switch gears, all types of pumps, and many industrial machines. Machine Keys are sometimes called Shaft Keys, Sunk Keys or Industrial Keys.
