Checking List for Spline Shaft End Shape
If desiring a ball spline type with its end specially machined, check the following items when placing an order.
The diagram below shows a basic configuration of the Ball Spline.
Check Items
- Type of the spline nut to be fit
- Number of spline nuts
- Clearance in the rotation direction
- Accuracy
- With/without a seal (for a single seal, check its orientation)
- Overall length (including all dimensions? Total value correct?)
- Effective spline length
- Hardened area (mark the location with symbol ☆ and indicate the purpose of hardening)
- Orientation of the flange (for flanged type)
- Spline shaft end shape (thicker than the minimum spline diameter?) (black, mill scale)
- Positional relationship between the spline nut and the spline shaft end shape (keyway of the spline nut, flange mounting hole)
- Indication of chamfering for each part
- Shape of chamfer on the spline shaft end (see Chamfering of the Spline Shaft Ends )
- Intended purpose of the though hole in the spline shaft if any
- o’. Snap ring groove
- Maximum length
- Precedented or not
