One New Aftermarket Replacement Woodruff Key for Caterpillar (Cat) Equipment
This aftermarket replacement Woodruff Key (part number 1B8745) is a precision-machined, semicircular steel key used in Caterpillar engine and drivetrain assemblies. The Woodruff key seats into a matching semicircular keyway in the shaft, with the flat edge engaging a longitudinal slot in the mating gear, hub, or pulley hub. This design locks the rotating component to the shaft, preventing independent rotation while also acting as a mechanical fail-safe that protects costlier components from damage under overload conditions. It is a direct aftermarket replacement for the Caterpillar OEM part number 1B8745 / 1B-8745.
