Woodruff Key — for shaft to drive gear
EMD Part No.: 108627DLW Part No.: 20310109
Woodruff Key — for shaft to drive gear
Application: EMD 645 and 710 series water pump assemblies
Part of our Water pump product line
The Woodruff Key — for shaft to drive gear is identified by EMD Part No. 108627 and DLW Part No. 20310109. EMD water-pump parts references specifically identify 108627 as the Woodruff Key for the shaft to drive gear, with DLW Part No. 20310109 as the corresponding reference. The component is part of the water-pump drive arrangement and should be identified using the correct EMD and DLW part numbers and applicable water-pump configuration.
How This Part Works
The Woodruff Key — for shaft to drive gear is a mechanical key used at the shaft-to-drive-gear connection within the water-pump assembly. It provides the keyed connection between the water-pump shaft and drive gear so that rotational drive can be transmitted between the two components. It is distinct from the Woodruff key used for the shaft-to-impeller connection, which is identified as EMD 103909 and DLW 20310092.
Signs It's Time to Replace
- Key wear: abnormal wear at the Woodruff key can affect the shaft-to-drive-gear connection
- Deformation: a bent, distorted, or otherwise deformed key should be assessed before reuse
- Keyway wear: abnormal wear or damage in the mating shaft or drive-gear keyway should be inspected
- Surface damage: scoring, cracking, or other visible damage can affect the key's serviceability
- Loose shaft-to-drive-gear connection: abnormal movement at the keyed connection should prompt inspection of the key and mating keyways
Apex focuses on EMD engine components and water-pump system parts for EMD applications. The Woodruff Key — for shaft to drive gear is identified by the specific EMD Part No. 108627 and DLW Part No. 20310109, allowing customers to source the component using established EMD and DLW references. Its specific identification as the shaft-to-drive-gear Woodruff key helps distinguish it from the separate shaft-to-impeller key used in the EMD water-pump assembly.
