NBK, a specialist manufacturer of mechanical components, recently introduced new Titanium Hexagon Keys to its diverse product line. Hey keys are used to drive bolts and screws with hexagonal sockets in their heads.

Made of titanium alloy, NBK’s new hex keys are non-magnetic, making it suitable for assembly and maintenance of equipment and devices in environments with strong magnetic fields. They can also be used on electronic devices for which magnetism must be avoided.

This includes MRI machines, electron microscope, linear motor and power plant facilities that generate a strong magnetic field, as well as devices that use permanent magnets, including marine equipment.

It is important to select the correct size to match the hex socket shape.

Characteristics include:

• Hex keys made of titanium alloy.
• They are non-magnetic, making it suitable for assembly and maintenance of equipment and devices in environments with strong magnetic fields. They can also be used on electronic devices for which magnetism must be avoided.
• They can be used in marine environments due to its excellent corrosion resistance.
• As they are lighter than alloy steel hex keys, the load during use and transportation is reduced.
