Splined Mechanical Transmission
Splined Mechanical Transmission
Definition
A splined mechanical transmission is a system that uses splines to connect and transmit torque between rotating shafts. Splines are ridges or teeth on a shaft that fit into corresponding grooves on another shaft, allowing for a secure connection that facilitates efficient power transfer while minimizing slippage.
Examples
- Automotive drive shafts
- Industrial gearboxes
- Machinery coupling systems
- Robotics and automation systems
Applications
Splined mechanical transmissions are commonly used in various industries, including:
- Automotive industry
- Manufacturing
- Aerospace
- Construction machinery
