Dimensions FOREWORD “This British Standard has been prepared under the direction of the Mechanical Engineering Industry Standards Committe, and is complementary to H.S. 2089, ° Straight sided splines and serrations" ‘After the publication of B.S. 2059 in 1953 preliminary work on a standard for involute splines was commenced. It became apparent that the A.S.A. '35 Standard was in use to some extent and that interchangeability of parts made 10 British and American Standards would be most desirable. It was decided to publish a British Standard for Involute splines omitting reference to the serrations which appear in A.S.A. Standard BS as the Committee considered that a satisfactory choice of serrations was available from B.S. 2059 : Part 2 ‘The basic dimension of all sizes of splines covered ate the same as those given in the American Standard A.S.A. BS-15 1960 for ‘a, major diameter ft bs side fit ‘The Committee considered the terms defined in B.S. 2517, * Definitions for use in mechanical engineering" and the terms and novation defined in B.S. 2519, * Glossary of terms and notation for toothed gearing * but decided to adhere to those given in the A.S.A, standard. Definitions of the terms used are included in this standard. ‘Details of gauges and inspection are given in Part 2 Obsolescent (by Amendment No. 2) ‘The need for the equipment covered by this British Standard has been reviewed and it has been decided that, in the interests of rationalization, it should be regarded as obsolescent and not therefore used for new designs. The standard will be withdrawn in due course NOTE. Reference should now be made to BS 6186 ‘Specification for involute spines; metric module’ Part I ‘Dimensions and tolerances’ SPECIFICATION 1, SCOPE ‘This British Standacd provides data and guidance for the design of straight involute splines of 30” pressure angle, tabulates limiting dimensions and deals with manufac turing errors and their effect on the fit between mating spline elements. ‘The range of splines covered is: Side ft, 25/5 to 32/64 pitch, flat root 6 to 60 splines inclusive Major diameter 6, 3/6 to 16/32 pitch, fat root 6 to 60 splines inclusive 2-8/5 to 48/96 pitch, 6 to 60 splines inclusive (see figure 1) 2. TERMS, DEFINITIONS AND SYMBOLS For the purposes of this standard the following terms ‘and definitions apply. 24 An involute spline is a spline having involute profiles. 2.2 Pitch circle is the reference circle from which all transverse spline dimensions are derived and is the circle ‘on which the pressure angle ofthe involute has the specified standard valve 23 Pitch diameter (D) is the diameter of the pitch circle 24 Pitch is a combination number; the upper of frst ‘number isthe diametral pitch, the lower or second number is the stub pitch, 28 Diametral pitch (P) is the number of splines inch of pitch diameter. pines 2.6 Stub pitch (P,) is a number used to compute ‘addendum and dedendum; 1 inch divided by the stub pitch is the basic addendum. 2.7 Circular pitch (p) is the distance between corres: ponding points of adjacent splines along the pitch circle. 2.8 Pitch point is the intersection of the spline profile with the piteh circle, 29 Pressure angle is the acute angle between a line tangent to an involute and a radial line through the point of tangency. Unless otherwise specified, it is the main pressure angle. 2.10. Main pressure angle (4) is the pressure angle at the pitch point 2A Base circle is the ciecle from which involute spline profiles are constructed. 212 Base diameter (D,) is the diameter of the base circle 2.13 Major diameter is the diameter of the outermost surface of the spline (major circle). It is the outside diameter (D,) of the splined shaft or the root diameter (D,) of the splined hole. 5 Licensed Copy: London South Bank University, London South Bank University, Sat May 05 05:35:02 GMT+00:00 2007, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI B.S. 3550 : 1963 2.14 Minor diameter is the diameter of the innermost ‘surface of the spline (minor circle). Its the inside diameter (D) of the splined hole or the root diameter (D,.) of the splined shaft. 245 Addendum (a) is the radial distance from the pitch circle to the minor circle of the splined hole and from the pitch circle to the major circle of the splined shaft 2.16 Dedendum (b) is the radial distance from the pitch circle to the major circle ofthe splined hole and from {he piteh circle to the minor circle of the splined shaft. 27 Depth of engagement is the sum of the addenda of internal (hole) and external (shaft) splines, less the height of any chamfer. 2.18 Form clearance (c,) isthe radial depth of involute profile beyond the depth of engagement with the mating part, 2.19 Form diameter (De) is the diameter atthe deepest point of desired true involute form (TIF). 2.20 Fille is the concave portion of the spline profile which joins the sides to the bottom of the space. 2.21 Fille root splines are those in which a single filet in the general form of an are joins the sides of adjacent splines. 2.22 Flar root splines are those in which filets join the ares of major or minor circles to the spline sides. 2.23 Effective space width of a splined hole is equal to the circular spline thickness on the pitch circle of an imaginary perfect splined shaft which woul fit the splined hole without looseness or interference, 2.24 Effective spline thickness of a splined shaft is equal to the circular space width on the pitch circle of an ry perfect splined hole which would fit the splined shaft without looseness or interference, 228 Actual space width (s) is the length of are on the pitch circle of any single space 2.26 Actual spline thickness () is the length of arc on. the piteh circle of any single spline. 227 Cumulative pitch error is the value obtained by subtracting the desiga length from the actual length between corresponding profics of splines not adjacent 10 each other. 2.28 Profile error is the deviation from the specified spline profile (see Fig, 2) 2.29 Alignment error (sist) is the deviation of the splines from parallelism with the axis of the splined shaft oF splined hole. 2.30 Effective error is the accumulated effect of the spline errors on the fit with the mating part. 231 Error allowance (e) is the permissible effective 232 Machining tolerance (m) is the permissible variation in actual space width or actual spline thickness. 2.33 Total tolerance (m +. e)s the machining tolerance plus the error allowance. 2.34 Effective clearance (c,) is the effective space width ‘of the splined hole minus the effective spline thickness ‘of the mating splined shaft, 2.35 Lengch of engagement (L,) is the axial length of ‘contact between mating spines. 2.36 Active spline length (L,) is the length of spline which contacts the mating spline.

These values are intended as a guide for the specification of approximate radii for highly stressed parts. ‘The curvature along any generated fillet varies and cannot be properly specified by a radius of any given value. Fillet root splines are recommended for heavy loads because larger filets reduce stress concentrations. 5:3 Chamfers for external (shaft) splines. These are ured for major diameter fits to provide clearance for the fillet of the internal (hole) spline. ‘Where the same tooling is used for producing major diameter and side fit external (shaft) splines, a chamfer (which is usually permissible) may be generated on the side fit spline. 5.31 Standard internal (hole) splines have no chamfer fat the minor diameter. Where the design requirements ‘demand a chamfer, special tooling or a further operation will be required, 6. CLASSES OF FIT 6.1. Basis of system. The dimensions and resultant fits given in the tables are based on the basic hole system. In this system the design size of the splined hole is the basis, and variations in fit are obtained by varying the allowance on the splined shatt. 62 Major diameter fit is a close fit on the major diameter. The space width and spline thickness are the same as for the Class I (Ire) side fit. 6.3 Side ft. The members fit on the sides of the spines only.

Any pitch error reduces the clearance. BS. 3580: 1963, 8.2 Profile errors.

Fig. 3, view A, iitustrates a splined hole with errors of pitch and profile ‘View B shows that a perfect splined shaft contour (without errors) does not ft, even though each spline has the same Width as the mating space. To allow the perfect splined shaft to fit in any position, all spaces of the splined hole rust be widened by the amount of interference. This width as shown in view C, is the actual space width of the splined hole. The effective space width is the spline thickness of the perfect mating spline. 9.2 Effective and actual spline thickness. The same reasoning applied to the splined shaft leads to the concept ‘of effective Spline thickness which exceeds the actual spline thickness by the effective error. See Fig. 4 9.3 Effective clearance. The effective space width of the splined hole mious the effective spline thickness of the splined shaft is the effective clearance, which defines the fit mating parts (this is strietly true oniy if high points of muting parts come into contact), Values are given in Table 4, which are summarized from Tables $ to 38 ine. 9.4 Space width and spline thickness limits, The varia- tion of actual space width and actual spline thickness Within the machining tolerance causes corresponding variations of effective dimensions, s0 that there are four limit dimensions for each component part, as illustrated in the bar chart, Fig 5 9.4.1 The minimum effective space width is always basic, and is half the circular pitch; the maximum effective spline thickness is determined by the desired minimum eifective clearance. The permissible variation of the elfective clearance is then distributed between the internal (hole) and external (shaft splines to arrive at the maximum ‘effective space width and the minimum effective spline thickness. ‘Limits of the actual space width and actual spline thickness are constructed from suitable error allowances, uw ‘TABLE 4, EFFECTIVE CLEARANCE (In 0-001 inch units) 2 Licensed Copy: London South Bank University, London South Bank University, Sat May 05 05:35:02 GMT+00:00 2007, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI oon pra] ass | as | er | 1020 | soar | ese [oven en | soz | som | aes St) a | te | ae | ee |e oe ah |e ae 1 : hme dancesneatnchinemaneete W ‘aaa at we w ae 1 yt ee wo| mse | ear | asm | sae | asse | asa oat | os | ot | mss | ws | aise | ise | tae | nm | cas | Ga | ose 3) ire | ws fim | tea | ia | ia [om | oa | om | ase | ace | imse | ier | anu | iss oo | 8-08 | o.a8 | 26-78 | 2565 | rest | ra | iss | 505 | 032 | 0-30 | 0.50 | S80 [os | 8 | os Profile [A Each space is basic width Perfect splined shaft with basic spline = hickness interferes at ‘Actual space width Effective space width equals spline thickness of perfect splined shaft CC.
