Dummy Key

Definition -A Dummy Key is a non-load-bearing key placed in a keyway primarily to maintain balance, alignment, or symmetry of a rotating shaft. Its purpose is not to transmit torque but to fill unused keyways and prevent stress concentration or imbalance. Dummy keys are commonly used in high-speed rotating machinery, turbines, compressors, and precision equipment.
