Sunk Key

Rectangular sunk keys have a rectangular cross section and taper from the upper side at a 1:100 ratio. The formula for calculating the thickness (t) of a rectangular sunk key is t=d/6, where d is the diameter. Square sunk keys have a square cross section, differing from rectangular keys only in cross section shape. The formula for calculating the thickness of a square sunk key is t=d/4. Feather keys fix one specific part and allow relative motion between parts. They are a special type of key used for specific applications.

Rectangular sunk key called rectangular because the cross section of the key in

rectangular shape.there is a taper in key from upper side and the ratio is 1:100.

d
Formula: t=
6

Square sunk key

The cross section of the square key is in square shape that's why its called square key
and there is only difference of cross section between square and rectangular key.

d
Formula: t=
4
Feather Key

This key is fixing with one specific part and its will help us to done the
relative motion between them. This is a special kind of key and used in
specific work.
