    This document discusses splines, which are used to transmit torque between a shaft and hub with relative axial motion. There are two main types of splines: involute and serrations. Involute splines resemble gear teeth and provide greater strength, while serrations are used for smaller assemblies and angular adjustment. The document also provides equations to calculate the torque capacity and area of splines based on dimensions. It then presents a sample problem calculating the length of a hub and force required to shift a gear using given spline dimensions and torque/speed values.

    SPLINES

    - keys which are made integral with the shaft.


    - used when there is a relative axial motion between the shaft and the hub
    - Used in gear shifting mechanism in automobile gearboxes
    - Splines are cut on the shaft by milling and on the hub by broaching

    Splines: (a) Shaft (b) Hub


    D = major diameter of splines (mm)
    d = minor diameter of splines (mm)
    l = length of hub (mm)
    n = number of splines
    The torque transmitting capacity of splines(straight side) is given by,
    Mt = pm A Rm (a)
    where,
    Mt = transmitted torque (N-mm)
    pm = permissible pressure on spline ( N/mm2 )
    A = total area of splines (mm2)
    Rm = mean radius of splines (mm)
    The area A is given by,
    A = 1/2 (D - d )ln (b)
    Rm = D +d/4 (c)

    Substituting the above values in Eq. (a),

    Mt = 1/8 pm ln(D2 – d2)

    The permissible pressure on the splines is limited to 6.5 N/mm2.


    Types of spline
    (i) Involute Splines
    - like concentric external and internal gear teeth.
    - stub teeth with a pressure angle of 30°.
    - specified by module
    - greater strength relative to their size.
    - self centering, tend to adjust to an even distribution of load.
    - better and costlier than straight-sided splines.
    (ii) Serrations
    - Straight-sided serrations are used for small assemblies
    - Used as interference joints.
    - Used to obtain small angular relative adjustment between the
    joined members.
    Problem : A standard splined connection 8 X 52 X 60 mm is used for the gear and the shaft
    assembly of a gearbox. The splines transmit 20 kW power at 300 rpm. The dimensions of the
    splines are as follows: Major diameter = 60 mm ; Minor diameter = 52 mm ; Number of
    splines = 8;Permissible normal pressure on splines is 6.5 N/mm2. The coefficient of friction is
    0.06.Calculate:(i) The length of hub of the gear (ii) The force required for shifting the gear
    Solution
    Given kW = 20 ;n = 300 rpm ;pm = 6.5 N/mm2 ;For splines, D = 60 mm ; d = 52 ;mm ; n = 8 ;
    µ = 0.06
    Step I Torque transmitted by the shaft - Mt = 60 x 106 / 2 x π x 300 = 636 619.76 N-mm
    Step II Length of hub - l = 8 Mt /pm n(D2-d2) = 110 mm
    Step III Force required to shift gear
    Due to torque Mt, a normal force P acts on the splines. It is assumed that the force P acts at the
    mean radius of the splines. Therefore,
    Mt = P Rm , Rm = D + d / 4 = 28 mm ; P = Mt / Rm = 22 736.42 N
    Friction force = µ P = 0.06(22736.42) = 1364.19 N
    The force required to shift the gear is equal and opposite of the friction force.
    Therefore, the force required to shift the gear is 1364.19 N.
