Verified fitment for HTN27K and HTN28K models means you can order with confidence and get back to work without second-guessing compatibility.

Key Features
- Genuine OEM Dimensional Accuracy — Manufactured to the exact 1/4 square cross-section and 2.75-inch length specified by Multiquip, ensuring proper torque transfer without slop or misalignment.
- Direct Drop-In Installation — Seats precisely into the keyway without machining or modification, maintaining correct shaft-to-hub engagement on reassembly.
- Confirmed Fitment for HTN27K and HTN28K — Verified for Multiquip's HTN-series mechanical ride-on trowels, covering both the HTN27K and HTN28K models.
- Maintains Drive Integrity — A properly seated key locks rotating components in correct angular alignment; a worn or missing key causes slippage, vibration, and accelerated damage to shafts and hubs.
- OEM Traceability — Carries Multiquip part number 20444, making reordering and service documentation straightforward for fleet maintenance records.
A woodruff or square drive key is a small but critical component that locks a rotating part — such as a pulley, sprocket, or blade hub — to its drive shaft. It sits in a machined slot called a keyway, cut into both the shaft and the mating component, preventing them from rotating independently under load. When a key shears, wears, or falls out, drive power is lost and the shaft or hub can sustain damage rapidly. Replacing a worn key promptly with a correctly sized OEM part restores full power transmission and protects the surrounding hardware from secondary wear.
