EXPLANATORY NOTE
keys and keyways were formerly covered in IS: 2048-1975
parallel ‘ Specification for parallel
keys and ( first revision
keyways 1 ‘. However, parallel keys and keyways meant for machine tools
were covered in IS : 2710-1975 ‘ Specification for parallel keys and keyways for machine tools ( first
revision ) ‘.
The dimensions and tolerances of keys of sizes 4 x 4 to 40 X 22 covered in IS: 2048-1975
were exactly the same as those covered in IS : 2710-1975. which specification was applicable to
machine tools. Only the range of key lengths and dimensions of keyways differed for machine tool
applications.
ln the present revision of IS : 2048, the requirements of keys for machine tools including the
range of key lengths and details of keyway have been incorporated. In addition, the original range
of sizes 2 x 2 to 100 x 50 as also the types A to J have been retained.
This version of the standard ( IS : 2048-1983 ) shall supersede IS : 2710-1975 after its publications.
