5 Key Benefits of Spline Shafts

Spline shafts are immensely popular in the world of torque transmission. It is the only competition to gear in terms of popularity and effectiveness. Such shafts are strong, cylindrical rods that facilitate seamless power transfer between mechanical components. These shafts feature ridges, or splines, throughout their length that mate with hubs or gears. True Gear & Spline Ltd. in Cambridge, Ontario, manufactures the best torque transmission solutions. Read until the end to learn five key benefits of splined shafts.

 

We Use CNC Machining To Ensure Quality

 

Effective Load Distribution

The cylindrical shape and the teeth/ridge running along the shaft’s length facilitate even load distribution. This is important to prevent premature wear and tear. Too much load on only a particular area will lead to breakage and downtime.

 

Stability

A spline shaft’s design enhances stability in torque transmission. The alignment between interlocking components guarantees stability during power transfer. Gears often fail to provide the level of stability that splined shafts offer, especially in high-torque applications.

 

Customization

You can work with an experienced spline manufacturer to source shafts tailor-made for your applications. Everything from the depth of the teeth to the thickness of the rod can be customized to ensure precision. We at True Gear & Spline Ltd. use CNC machining to ensure accuracy. 

 

Greater Surface Area

Splined shafts have a greater surface area compared to gears. This is beneficial in absorbing shocks and mitigating vibrations. It is natural for mechanical operations to generate vibration. However, if left unchecked, it leads to slippage and loss of power. 

 

Durable

When you source splined shafts from trusted manufacturers like us, they will stand the test of time. We use the strongest material to ensure consistent performance and unmatched longevity. The quality checks in place ensure no product leaves our floor with even the smallest damage.
