The Multiquip HS094500028 Crankshaft Key is a genuine OEM component designed for HS62 and HS81 high speed cut-off saws. As an OEM part, it is manufactured to the exact tolerances required by Multiquip, ensuring a precise mechanical fit between the crankshaft and the blade clutch hub. Sourced directly through authorized Multiquip supply channels, HS094500028 is the correct service replacement for both HS62 and HS81 Sidewinder models.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Tolerancing — Manufactured to exact dimensional specs for the crankshaft keyway, ensuring the key seats fully without play or misalignment.
- Drop-In Fitment for HS62 and HS81 — Engineered specifically for Multiquip HS62 and HS81 Sidewinder cut-off saws; slots directly into the existing keyway without modification.
- Torque Transmission Integrity — A properly seated crankshaft key locks the blade clutch hub to the crankshaft, maintaining consistent power transfer from the engine to the cutting blade.
- Small Part, Critical Function — A worn, sheared, or missing crankshaft key causes blade slippage, erratic clutch engagement, and potential blade detachment during operation.
- Safety-Critical Replacement — Correct key engagement is essential to blade retention on cut-off saws; using the OEM-spec key ensures the rotating assembly stays properly indexed under load.
The crankshaft key is a small hardened metal key that fits into a machined slot shared between the crankshaft and the hub of the blade clutch or drive pulley. Its job is to lock those two components into a fixed rotational position so that torque from the engine is transferred cleanly without any slipping or misalignment. When a crankshaft key shears or wears — which can happen from shock loads or improper installation — the clutch hub can spin independently of the crankshaft, causing blade slippage, loss of cutting power, or an unsafe condition where the blade is no longer positively driven.
