Don, According to "Machinery's Handbook" the S.A.E. standards for straight splined fittings applied to the hole (the female part of the splined joint). There were four series of fittings: four-, six-
Much as one would wish to defer to the great McComb, I'm not sure I can in this case. A careful reading of your referred article shows McComb saying that the threads of the retaining nut should be o
Why would "they" recommend a light lubrication of the cones if the cones take the main driving force? "Friction drive" just doesn't work. I think that your source is mis-informed. It doesn't make se
Back to the original question. I suspect that the clutch end has fewer (and "bigger") splines is because the splines not only have to transmit the torque, they have to act as the "sliding" track for

Another question, actually two. If the spines are not intended to drive the wheels why are they even there? And why, when the the splines wear out does the wheel hub spin on the axle hub? Hmmm. Larry
Hi folks, Any chance this thread could be tied off and left beside the road? The ones that are right will never be believed by the others and it really doesn't matter in the course of real life anymo
No one said they don't absorb _any_ of the torque, only not _all_ of it. If nothing else, they keep the wheel from slipping while the spinner tightens itself. It doesn't, necessarily. The splines we
I have engineering manuals that state absolutely that coarse or fine splines are the strongest, depending on which manual you happen to be reading. All complete with formulas. Here's my take on it ba
Hey guys, I'm the one who asked the question. Just wanted to thank all of you for the information, theories formulas and discussion on Splines I found it interesting and informative. Bob Noguiera .
I would like to thank everyone too. I learned a lot about wire wheel maintenance and splines. It was a very informative thread. Everyone says "never buy used wire wheels -- they are junk". OK, so I'm

Bob, a lot more interesting than: What size compessor should I buy? How do I paint my garage floor? What kind of solvent should I use? Can I paint the floor of my trailer? Should I use PVC to plumb m

I wondered about that too. Sounds kind'a obvious when you first hear it, but maybe the surface area of the two schemes could be about the same. One has small short splines and lots of them, the other
For what it's worth: When the "American Society of Agricultural Engineers" recognized that the increasing horsepower of tractors was stressing the 1 3/8" 6 spline 540 RPM power-take-off shaft of the
