Description
Custom toothed shafts in stainless or carbon steel
These shaft variants feature external tooth profiles and turned journal sections. Stainless steel and carbon steel are material options shown in this product group; the tooth geometry must be established for each variant before the shaft is described as a gear shaft or splined shaft.
Tooth geometry and journal location
- Identify whether the profile is a spline, gear tooth or another custom drive form.
- Provide the applicable tooth standard and profile data, including count, pitch or module where relevant.
- Define the bearing journal diameters, axial shoulders and permissible tooth-to-journal runout.
Manufacturing sequence
A typical machining sequence establishes the shaft diameters before cutting or shaping the external teeth. Material selection, any required heat treatment and final journal finishing are specified for each design. Inspection should cover the tooth profile, mating fit and the relationship of the toothed section to the common shaft axis.
Quotation Information
For each variant, state stainless or carbon steel grade, tooth profile, journal tolerances, hardness if required, quantity and drawing revision.
