Shaft Connections Calculators

Strength of a Splined Connection

In this calculation, a splined connection with a length L, height H and width b at a shaft with a diameter D is considered. The shaft is under the action of torque T.

As a result of calculations, shear stress τ and crushing stress σ_cr in the splines are determined. For the calculation, the number of splines n should be specified.

BASIC FORMULAS

Shear stress:

τ = 2T / (0.7*b*n*L*D);

Crushing stress:

σ_cr = 2T / (0.7*H*n*L*D).

Limit shear stress for splines:

[τ] = (0.1 ÷ 0.2)σ₀₂
