What is the distinction between Spline Shafts and Gears?

Splines and gears are both designed to transmit torque and have external teeth that engage with a mate component. Splined shafts differ from gears in a way that they transfer torque using all teeth or grooves at the same time.

What are the different types of shafts?

• Transmission shafts: Models, such as counter shafts and line shafts, are used to transmit power between the source and the machine absorbing power.
• Machine shafts: Models, such as crankshafts, are an integral part of the machine itself.

What is the use of a spline joint?

The goal is to strengthen and align the edges. A spline can be used in place of a tongue and groove. The spline, when used on a mitre joint, adds extra strength to an otherwise delicate joint. The spline is also useful for aligning the two joining parts during assembly and glue-up.
