What is tooth spline?
Splines are ridges or teeth on a drive shaft that matches with grooves in a mating piece and transfer torque to it, maintaining the angular correspondence between them. For instance, a gear mounted on a shaft might use a male spline on the shaft that matches the female spline on the gear.
How are splines designed?
A spline is a geometric feature used to join one shaft to another. It transmits torsion, but permits axial sliding. The current practice for designing splines to carry a torque is to use involute splines with no helix angle or taper on the external tooth.
What is spline used for?
Splines are grooves or teeth on a shaft that match up with grooves or teeth on another component to transmit torque. Splines are generally used when both linear and rotational motion is desired.
What is the purpose of a spline joint?
The purpose is to reinforce and align the edges. A spline can be used as a substitute for the tongue and groove. When used on a miter joint, the spline adds extra strength to an otherwise delicate joint. The spline is also useful because it helps to align the two joining parts during assembly and glue-up.
What is a flexible spline?
Flexible splines slide axially, mainly used between shafts couplings and do not carry much torque as fixed spline joints.
How much spline do I need?
| Screening Types: | 5/16” x ¾”Frame | 7/16” x ¾”Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Aluminum Insect Screening | .125 (⅛”) | .125 (⅛”) |
| Pool and Patio Screening | .140 (9/64”) | .140 (9/64”) |
| No-See-Ums Screening | .140 (9/64”) | .140 (9/64”) |
| BetterVue | .140 (9/64”) | .140 (9/64”) |
Are spline joints strong?
Yes, they are stronger Splines increase the surface area being glued,; and thus the strength of the joint.
How thick is a spline?
No, SPLINE has no thickness. You might use PLINE with Spline fit, or convert/explode the spline into line segments.

What is a standard spline shaft?
Standard Spline Shafts. Grob Standard Spline Shafting has been designed to maximize torsional strength and contact area. Grob’s cold rolled spline shafts are made with an even number of teeth and are parallel over two or more teeth. When your project requires mating parts, look no further.
