Splined shafts and bushings

The 3000 series Metric Splined Shafts and Bushings are designed for applications in the mechanical engineering sector and the automotive industry.

Splined shafts and bushings offer an efficient way to transfer high-transmission torques from shafts to gears, pulleys and other components, or to couple two shafts together. Additionally, because the splines permit sliding between mating members in the axial direction, by press fitting a spline bushing into a component, such as a gear or belt pulley, the component can be shifted axially as desired even during rotation. Such splined components can transmit much higher torques when retained by means of set screws or keyways.

The spline shafts and bushings are manufactured from quality materials to DIN ISO Standards and are available in C45 cold drawn, unhardened carbon steel, in stocked lengths of 1000 mm. Shaft diameters range from 11-42 mm with six or eight keys on the larger sizes. Longer shaft lengths and a stainless steel version are available on request.

The mating bushings are also available from stock in St 52.3 with non-alloy structured steel with RG7 bronze, stainless steel and clamp styles available on request.
