Further information

Splined shaft drives

Splined shaft drives are shaft-hub connections. The splined profile on which the splined shaft drive is based is used for the uniform positive transmission of both large and varying torques with comparatively low wear. The splined profile enables the absorption of shock loads as well as the very precise centring of the splined hub on the shaft.

The shaft and hub of the splined shaft drives can be axially displaced if the fit is selected accordingly. A sliding, transition or interference fit is achieved depending on the choice of tolerances for the spline width, root diameter and outside diameter. The choice of fit in a splined shaft drive determines whether the shaft and hub are to be longitudinally movable, i.e. axially displaceable, such as in machine tools or gearboxes, or whether they are to be used as fixed connections, such as in drive shafts in motor vehicles.

Splined shaft profiles

Splined shaft profiles are manufactured by milling, grinding, cold drawing or shaping. The corresponding hubs are broached, eroded or manufactured on a keyseating machine. Although the shaping of splined shaft profiles is technically possible in principle, it is unusual in practice and therefore rare.

Depending on the shaft or hub diameter of a splined shaft drive, typical numbers of splines per shaft used in practice are 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16 and 20.
