=Introduction= Keyed shafts rotate inside axial bearings to transmit power. Keys are fit into keyways to fix wheel hubs, gears, sprockets, and other accessories to keyed shafts.

=Challenges= Power transmission often requires rotating shafts with sprockets, brakes, pulleys, gears, wheels, and many other types of devices attached in unique configurations.

=Approaches= A round steel shaft with a keyway allows for similarly keyed interchangeable components to be positioned securely along it's entire length. Such a shaft can be manfactured from round stock with as little as a broach and a hammer.
