Internal spline cutting tools.

Spline cutting with an involute spline cutter or straight side spline cutter is the process of machining internal and external splines onto shafts gears and other mechanical power transmission components. These come in a range of sizes and lengths. To achieve desired straightness to the bottom of the cut in minor diameter bearing scenarios a hob with clearance lugs is required. This featured tool is from our series 126 high performance aluminum cutting endmills.

Coromill 178 pm hss and solid carbide power skiving tools for gear and spline production with high output. Cutting internal splines in the lathe using the top slide indexing the work in the chuck using a change gear mounted to the headstock. It has multiple cutting edges arranged along the length of a cutting tool. Parker f1 hydraulic pump coupler for volvo small cardan drive shaft.

I used a bs 0 dividing head and a home made hss keyway tool in. The slender shafts require rigid clamping and light cutting tools to avoid vibration. With major diameter minor diameter or side fit this non involute tooth shape requires unique cutting tools for each spline type. Splines can be either straight cut or helical cut.

We can develop design and build various styles of round broaches. As with gear wheels a careful preparation for the hardened stage is a success factor. The starting end of the broach is a smooth diameter that fits in the smooth bore of the work. These are designed for roughing and finishing aluminum alloy material they feature 3 flutes 45 degree helix variable pitch full eccentric relief and zirconium.

Are in a league of their own when it comes to cutting accurate and consistent forms on a highly repeatable basis with a minimum of complicated set up or technical input and variation. Round spline broaches are ideal for precise tolerances and any applications demanding the utmost accurate sizing and finishing. Even when it comes to irregularly shaped internal splines with spiral tooth forms. For my volvo c304 pto.
