Understanding Splined Shafts And Their Benefits

Gears have always been the focus of attention in the world of torque transmission. However, splined shafts surpass them in terms of functionality in high-torque applications. True Gear & Spline Ltd., as the name suggests, is the leading manufacturer of gears and spline shafts. We have decades of experience manufacturing the best torque transmission solutions. Drawing from our experience, we explain in this blog what a splined shaft is and its significant benefits.
What Is A Splined Shaft?
It is a cylindrical shaft with grooves or splines running along its entire length. These cylindrical shafts can transmit linear and rotary torque. They can be customized to meet all types of torque transmission requirements, making them highly sought after. Splined shafts are handy as they seamlessly mate with other shafts, gears, and bearings. Here are some of the benefits that make them appropriate for high-torque applications.
Strength: These shafts are made of strong and durable materials like carbon and stainless steel. Superior strength is one of the reasons spline shafts are preferred over gears for high-torque applications. When you invest in our torque transmission products, you can be assured of optimal performance for a long time. These cylindrical shafts are designed to thrive in high-stress situations.
Customization: As already mentioned, these shafts can be customized to meet your specific requirements. True Gear & Spline Ltd. uses CNC machining and advanced software to provide customized torque transmission solutions.
Our design team works closely with you to understand your requirements. After that, we manufacture a prototype and continue with full-fledged production only after getting client approval.
Cost-Effective: The reasonable upfront cost combined with low maintenance and longevity make spline shafts cost-effective for businesses. You must source them only from trusted gear manufacturers for optimal performance.
