Overview
ANSI Standard Keys and Keyseats. American National Standard, B17.1 Keys and Keyseats, based on current industry practice, was approved in 1967, and reaffirmed in 1989. This standard establishes a uniform relationship between shaft sizes and key sizes for parallel and taper keys as shown in Table 1. Other data in this standard are given in Tables 2 and 3 through 7. The sizes and tolerances shown are for single key applications only.
