SPLINED SHAFTS AND OTHER SHAFT FORMS
In mechanics, various shafts are known, such as the profile shaft. The spline shaft is a shaft that creates a positive connection to the hub. This is made using straight or parallel drivers. In the case of splined shafts, these drivers consist of involute flanks. The so-called involute toothing plays a major role in mechanical engineering. Spline shafts can transmit large and changing torques to the gearboxes of machine tools, for example. They are used as power take-off shafts in agricultural vehicles. Electric and hydraulic motors also cannot do without shafts, which enable the gearbox to function smoothly.
Spline shaft profiles are produced by milling, grinding, cold drawing or shaping. Milling is done using a hob or form milling cutter. There are also various manufacturing processes for the spline hubs that belong to every spline shaft, such as wire erosion. Spline shafts are usually manufactured using special machines. A disc-shaped form milling cutter is used when milling spline shafts. This must be specifically tailored to the dimensions of the shaft. This means that not only standardized models but also individual designs can be created.
