Answer: true

Step-by-step explanation:

A key is a machine element that us used to connect the element of a rotating machine to a shaft. It should be noted that the key hinders the relative rotation that may take place between the two parts.

Key length is designed to provide desired factor of safety. It should also be noted that the factor of safety shouldn't be much and the key length is typically limited to the hub length.
