Facilitating Torque Transmission With Splined Shaft

There can be no mechanical operation without effective torque transmission. While gears are considered the backbone of torque transmission, splined shafts are also equally important. However, these extraordinary shafts don’t always get the credit they deserve. True Gear & Spline Ltd. in Cambridge, Ontario, manufactures the best torque transmission solutions. We manufacture custom spline shafts using computer numerical control (CNC) machining. In this blog, we list how splined shafts facilitate effortless torque transmission. Read until the end to learn all about it. 

 

We Manufacture Splined Shafts With Precise Tolerance

 

Tight Mechanical Engagement

 

Spline shafts have ridges or grooves running along their length. The larger surface area guarantees tight mechanical engagement. These splines or grooves mesh with mating components, preventing energy loss. Spline shafts eliminate the risk of slippage and prevent downtime. Work with experienced torque transmission solution manufacturers for custom solutions. The design of shafts also facilitates an even load distribution, minimizing the risk of breakage. 

 

Axial Movement

 

People often think splined shafts are rigid and do not accommodate axial movements. This cannot be further from the truth. Spline shafts, such as involute and helical, facilitate axial movement along with seamless torque transmission. The use of couplings further makes axial movements easily achievable. Suspension systems and telescopic drives greatly benefit from the flexible axial movement of spline shafts.

 

High Torque

 

The strength and durability of these shafts are unmatched. Often made of the toughest steel and alloys, the cylindrical shafts are perfect for high-torque applications. The ability of cylindrical shafts to handle torsional loads makes them perfect for automotive transmissions and heavy machinery.
