Shaft Key, Edwards, Dry Pump, DP80, QDP80, IQDP80, Part# 24301013 – vacstellar

Description

This is a Edwards shaft key, part number 24301013. It is a metal component designed specifically for Edwards DP80, QDP80, and IQDP80 dry vacuum pumps. The shaft key fits into a slot on the shaft and rotor to lock them together. This ensures that the rotor turns exactly as the shaft turns, with no slipping or play. It is a small piece of cut metal. It fits partly into a groove on the shaft and partly into a groove inside the rotor. This simple but clever design locks the two parts together. When the shaft spins, the key pushes the rotor to spin with it.
