The Multiquip 0053205401 Woodruff Key is a genuine OEM component designed for GA-6RE, GA-6REA, GA-6RZ2, and GA-6RZR2 portable generators. As a direct OEM replacement, it delivers the exact fit and material specification required to maintain proper shaft-to-hub alignment in these units. DHS Equipment sources this part directly through authorized Multiquip channels, so you can order with confidence knowing you are receiving the correct component for your machine.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Material Integrity — Manufactured to Multiquip's original hardness and dimensional spec, ensuring the key seats fully and transfers torque without deformation under load.
- Drop-In Shaft Fit — Matches the original keyway geometry on the generator shaft and mating hub, allowing direct installation without filing or shimming.
- Confirmed Fitment — Verified for GA-6RE, GA-6REA, GA-6RZ2, and GA-6RZR2 portable generators; use part number 0053205401 to confirm compatibility before ordering.
- Maintains Rotational Timing — A correctly seated Woodruff Key locks the rotor or drive component at the precise angular position needed for consistent generator output and engine synchronization.
- Critical to Safe Electrical Output — A failed or displaced key can cause rotor slippage, leading to unstable voltage output that may damage connected equipment or create unsafe operating conditions.
A Woodruff Key is a small, semi-circular metal key that sits in a matching slot cut into a rotating shaft, locking a hub, gear, or rotor to that shaft so both components turn together as one unit. In a portable generator, it is responsible for maintaining the precise angular relationship between the engine crankshaft and the alternator rotor — if the key shears or works loose, the rotor can slip out of position, causing erratic voltage, loss of output, or internal mechanical damage. Replacing a worn or broken Woodruff Key promptly with the correct OEM piece restores proper alignment and protects both the generator and any equipment connected to it.
