Feather Keyway (3-D)

3-D Standard > Standard Processings > Thread > Feather keyways

 

Use this function to create feather keyways.

  1. Select the Feather keyways  function from the Thread pull-down menu.
  2. The Settings dialogue window is displayed (exception: The Suppress window option is active in the settings). Make the settings you require and choose OK to exit the window.
  3. The catalogue system for feather keyways will be displayed.

Click OK to exit the dialogue window.

  1. Identify the edge for insertion (ellipse or circle).
  2. For feather keyways for bores (e.g. DIN 6885-1) you can additionally enter a length after identification of the insertion edge. If the automatically displayed length is applied, the feather keyway will be inserted throughout. If the value is changed, the length will be applied starting from the insertion position.
  3. Specify the insertion position. If the position is to be determined automatically by the already identified edge, click the right mouse button. In this case the keyway will be placed in the centre of the circle (or in the centroid of the ellipse, respectively).
  4. Enter the rotation angle if you want to rotate the feather keyway about the shaft / bore axis.

Top: Original shaft with identified insertion edge and processing plane, Bottom: Shaft with inserted feather keyway (DIN 6885 1-N1, 8 x7 x 50), insertion position is the centre of the identified circle.

Top: Original shaft with identified insertion edge and processing plane,
Middle: Shaft with inserted feather keyway (DIN 6885 1-N1, 8 x7 x 50). The insertion position was applied with a right-click.
Bottom: Here, the midpoint between the base surface and the top surface of the left cylinder, and a rotation angle of 15° was selected.
