About Spline Shaft
This Spline Shaft is ideally used with grooves in a mating piece to transfer torque and maintain angular correspondence. It is widely used in vehicles to transmit power and to allow axial movement of components owing to their excellent torsional stress bearing capacity. Our offered shaft is manufactured under the guidance of ingenious professionals and thoroughly tested on various quality aspects in order to eliminate any defects before final dispatch. Spline Shaft is highly admired in market due to their unique attributes like sturdiness, easy to fit, dimensional accuracy and incredible strength.
A splined shaft is a cylindrical component with multiple evenly spaced grooves, or "splines," machined along its length, designed to transmit torque between a shaft and a mating part. Unlike a single key, these multiple splines distribute the load across their surfaces, leading to greater torque capacity, strength, and wear resistance. Splined shafts allow for both precise rotational synchronization and, in some applications, axial movement, making them vital in automotive drivetrains, industrial gearboxes, and robotic systems.
-
Grooves or Teeth:
The shaft's outer surface features a series of integral grooves or teeth, called splines.
-
Mating Internal Splines:
These external splines fit into corresponding internal grooves of a mating component, such as a hub, gear, or bushing.
-
Torque Transmission:
The interlocking splines lock the two components together, allowing for efficient transfer of rotational force (torque).
-
Load Distribution:
The multiple contact points of the splines spread the load, which reduces stress and wear compared to a keyed shaft.
-
Types of Spline Profiles:
Splines can have various forms, including straight-sided (like involute or serrated forms), which affects their function.
-
Axial Movement:
Some splined shafts are designed to allow for relative axial motion between the shaft and its hub, enabling linear movement.
