KEY - WOODRUFF (Yale YT23795500)

YT23795500: A damaged woodruff key can cause the driven component to slip or lose timing entirely. During inspection, a worn or sheared key often reveals itself through unusual play at the shaft. The key's plain mechanical function is to transmit torque between a shaft and a hub while preventing relative rotation. A concrete generic failure consequence is that a broken key may allow the hub to spin freely, leading to sudden power loss. Keeping a woodruff key in sound condition helps maintain precise alignment under load. This aftermarket replacement references the Yale catalog and carries the part number YT23795500. Verify the serial number or application, then call (562) 693-7748.
