Drive shaft spline calculations

Drive shaft spline calculations

Drive shaft spline calculations

(OP)
Hi,

Can someone please point me in the right directions for calculation best type of splines to use for a 5000kg rear axle. We have had problems with an old axle design using straight cut splines. This axle is now up for redesign (to many spline failures !!) and I would like to have a bit of background information when I discuss this with the axle supplier.

Thanks in advance .....

RE: Drive shaft spline calculations

The machinist's handbook has a good section covering spline design and manufacturing.
