Chamfers
These may be dimensioned by one of the methods
shown in Figure 1.36 above.
Keyways-square and rectangular
Methods of dimensioning keyways in shafts and
hubs, both parallel and tapered, are shown in Figure
1.37, together with suitable proportions for drawing
rectangular keys. Enlarged details of key and
keyways are shown in Figures 1.38 and 1.39.

'The limits for tolerance J,9 are quoted from as 4500 (ISO limits and fits), to three significant figures.
NOTE. The relations between shaft diameter and key section given above are for general applications. The use of smaller key sections
is permitted if suitable for the torque transmitted. In cases such as stepped shafts when large diameters are required, for example
to resist bending, and when fans, gears and impellers are fitted with a smaller key than normal, an unequal disposition of key in
shaft with relation to the hub results. Therefore, dimensions d - t1 and d + t2 should be recalculated to maintain the h/2 relationship.
The use of larger key sections which are special to any particular application is outside the scope of this standard.
