This is an idea for a computer program to convert certain sizes of involute spline shaft hobs into different sizes, and vice-versa, as they have the same circular pitch or diametral pitch (P). It is ...

The teeth of teeth of involute gears hobs and teeth for involute spline shaft hobs have a trapezoidal profile. In the U.S. a huge volume of good quality hobs are produced, and offers potential for ...

Spline couplings are critical components in many mechanical drive systems, ensuring the reliable transmission of rotary motion between shafts. Their complex geometry and contact interfaces, however, ...

An axleshaft’s overall strength is determined by what Randy’s Ring & Pinion calls DMD: diameter, materials, design. We’ll start with materials. Most readers know that steel is a generic name for ...

The ubiquitous ball spline. Basically, it is a type of mechanical element used in a variety of industrial applications where precise movement and alignment is required, like machine tools, robot arms ...
