Splines G
Splines can be thought of as a series of axial keyways with mating keys machined onto a shaft.
G
There are two major types of splines used in industry: 1) straight-sided splines, and 2) involute splines.
G
Splines provide a more uniform circumferential transfer of torque to the shaft than a key. Mott, Fig. 11-6

SAE Straight Tooth Splines
Straight--Tooth Tooth Spline Spline Geometry G
SAE straight-tooth splines usually contain 4,6,10, or 16 splines.
G
Parameter dimensions are controlled by the fit needed for a particular application.
Mott, Fig. 11-4
Straight--Tooth Tooth Spline Spline Strength Strength G
The torque capacity per unit length of an SAE spline is based on a 1,000 psi bearing stress on the sides.
G
Splines have the same failure mechanisms as keys: 1) shear or 2) bearing.
Depending on the class of fit, spline is able to accommodate axial movement along the shaft and still transmit torque.

Torque Capacity Curves (SAE Straight--Tooth Tooth Splines Splines))
Note that an involute spline has a higher torque capacity than does a straight-tooth spline of the same major diameter. Mott, Fig. 11-7
Involute Splines Splines
Involute splines generally have a 30o pressure angle. Mott, Fig. 11-8
Standard Diametral DiametralPitches Pitches and Lengths Diametral Pitches Pitches
There 2.5 12 64
are seventeen diametral pitches in common use: 3 4 5 6 8 10 16 20 24 32 40 48 80 128 Standard Lengths
Common designs use spline lengths of 0.75 D to 1.25 D, where D is the pitch diameter of the spline. When these standard lengths are used, the shear strength of the splines will exceed that of the shaft from which they are made.
Spline Manufacturing Methods Manufacturing Methods Splines are either “cut” (machined) or rolled. Rolled splines are stronger than cut splines due to the cold working of the metal. Nitriding is common to achieve very hard surfaces which reduce wear. Rolled Spline Spline Process Process
Forged blank is rolled under tons of pressure prior to heat treating. The finished spline is more accurate and stronger (35%) than cut spines. www.drivetraindirect.com
Spline Failure Failure Example Example
Note the yielding of the shaft outside of the engagement area due to a torsional load. The mating internal spline forced the external slines to remain parallel. In this case the spline is stronger than the shaft. www.4wdonline.com
SplinedLinear LinearBearing Bearing
Circular shaped splines have been combined with ball bearings to create linear bearings that can resist a torsional load. www.tsubaki.com
Polygons An alternative to splines that has significantly lower stress concentration is the polygon. Four and three lobed polygons are shown. Design information on polygons is available from General Polygon.

Retaining Rings G
Retaining rings are used on shafts to maintain the axial position of components.
G
There are many types of retaining rings. In general, they may be classified as: 1) External internal and 2) external. Internal
www.rotorclip.com
Different Types of Retaining Rings
www.mdmetric.com
Spring Loaded Retaining Rings G“Bowed”
retaining rings provide restoring forces to the components being held. GFlat
retaining rings allow small amounts of axial motion of the held component.
Bowed Internal Retaining Ring
Bowed External Retaining Ring
www.rotorclip.com
Smalley Compression Spring Retaining System
Higher restoring forces can be obtained using compression rings manufactured by Smalley. www.smalley.com
Retaining Ring Stress Concentrations G
External retaining rings used on shafts require that grooves be cut into the shaft.
G
The grooves generally have sharp corners or very small fillet radii which result in significant stress concentration factors.
Mott, Fig. 11-5
Retaining Ring Stress Concentration Factors G
The high stresses at the root of the retaining ring groove will be highly localized and will not significantly effect the static strength of a shaft made from a ductile material.
G
The stress concentration factors will be important in determining the life of the shaft and must be included in life calculations.
Shigley, Fig. A15-14 & 15
Retaining Ring Design Dimensions and design guidelines for retaining rings are contained in catalogs and literature published by retaining ring manufacturers.
Rotoclip,, Inc. Inc.
Smalley
Waldes Truarc,, Inc. Inc.
Designs that use retaining rings must take into account how the rings will be installed and make sure that sufficient assembly clearance is provided.
Integral Shafts G
An alternative to attaching components to shafts is to machine the components directly onto the shaft.
G
This higher priced approach is often the only approach available when tight space constraints exist.
G
Complex combinations of components can be obtained using modern CNC turning centers. www.astas.co.za/shafts.html
Assignment 1) Make a drawing of an SAE straight-tooth- 4-spline connection having a major diameter of 1.5000 in and a class A fit. Show all critical dimensions. What is the torque capacity of the spline? 2) Identify two applications of retaining rings used in mechanical equipment. Describe the applications and discuss why you think retaining rings of the type used were chosen by the designer.
