Hello hope someone can help, I need to replace a key in a electric motor. the key has two different sizes. it is 8mm at the bottom then steps down too 5mm at the top. it connects the motor to a drive gearbox that turns a wheel.

the key seat (keyway) widths in the shaft and driven hub should be within ~ 0.001" ( .025 um ) of key.
Is there a setscrew or some other feature that locks the hub to the shaft?

the tapered/rounded flanks of the narrow portion of the key are 'interesting."
