Determine the tolerances relating to these splines and to describe the methods used to inspect them. FIELD OF APPLICATION These splines are used in all branches of mechanical engineering (automobile, aeronautical, railways, machine tools, engines and power units, etc.}. They are capable of being machined easily, accurately, and economically and possess self-centring properties which provide for a silent drive at high speeds.

The nominal external diameters of shafts are identical to the bore sizes for ball bearings. 2. A single tolerencing system for the hole irrespective of the type of assembly being considered. 3. Gear cutting tools may be used, the number of different tools being limited to a minimum. METHODS USED 4. Tooling Tooling is identical to that used for cutting truncated gear teeth with a 20° pressure angle. Shafts mey be cut by means of a gear tdoth generating method using standard tools : hob, rack cutter, pinion type shaper cutter. Holes may be cut using a pinion type shaper cutter or by broaching. 2. Splines a. Basie rack The basic rack comprises a rack with straight sides; the pressure angle is 20° and the height of the tooth is equivalent to a module of 1.2. Décombro 1955 NF E22-141 NF E 22-141 The top of the rack teeth is 0.2 module above the reference line. The height of the straight sides is one module and the clearance at the tooth root is 0.2 module. The pitch line is x module below the reference line. The factor x which determines the distance between the cutter pitch circle and the reference line (for the basic rack or the toothed generating rack) is known as the tooth or addendum correction, b. Modules Ten series of splines are provided for, each being defined by a module value. The modules are divided into two series. - Primary series (recommended) formed by whole submultiples of 10 : 0.50 - 1,00 - 1.25 ~ 1.667 - 2.50 - 5.00 - 10,00. - Secondary series formed by whole submultiples of 7.5 : 0.75 - 3.75 - 7.50. ¢. Addendum (or tooth) correction The addendum (or tooth) correction hes the same value x = 0.8 for all the shefts in the module primary series, except for shafts with 12 and 17 teeth, 1.25 module, where the addendum correction is x = 0.6; in the case of shafts with 17 teeth, 1.667 module, the addendum correction is x = 0.9. Shafts in the secondary series have three different addendum correction values, depending on the value for the external diameter : x = 0.633; x = 0.8 (the same ss) and x = 0.967. as for the primary se For this reason, it is recommended that the primary series is used whenever this does not cause problems. The addendum correction values given above ensure that the splines have the Décombre 1955 NF EZ2-141 NF E 22-141 following characteristics + = the cutter pitch circle is at the base of the tooth where the pressure. angle is 20° but the angle of incidence y at the contact zone middle point is approximately 30°.

Respective positions of the cutter pitch circle for the shaft and the hole bore Décombre 1955 NFE22181 NF E 22-141 The minor diameter D of the hole has a value D = A - 2m and the cutter pitch circle diameter D' = Nm are linked by the expression defining the addendum correction : A—m(N + 04) 2m The first two expressions show that D - D' = A - Nm - 2m. The last expression gives A - Nm = (2x + 0.4) m where D = D! = (2x ~ 1.6)m. In perticular, it may be seen that D = D! when x = 0.8. Non-standard dimensions a. Module. 1.25 For A = 12, N = 8 and A = 17, N = 12, the following expression —m (N+ 04) 2m shows that, in both cases, x = 0.6 b. Module 1.667 For A = 17, N = 8, we have x-= 0.9, e. Height of tooth For all shafts in the primary series, the spline addendum relative to the cutter pitch circle has a nominal value of one for the module. In practice, the height of the contact surface has a velue of 0.9 m. As A is the nominel outside diemeter, taken as being the basic dimension, the outside diemeter of the shaft has a value equal to A', = A or At, = A - 0.2m, depending on the centring method and the bore of the hole has a value A - 2m in all cases (see formula). The theoretical value for the total contact surfece per unit of shaft length is independent of the module. Décombre 1955 NFE22.141 NF E 22-141 The number expressing this is the product of the contact surface height ied by the number of teeth, that is, the cutter pitch circle diameter multipled by the coefficient 0.9. It should be noted that the smaller modules are preferable from an economic point of view regarding use of the material and the strength of the shaft as, for a given outside diameter and the same contact surface, they enable a larger bese diameter to be used. The only limit to this condition (reduction of the module m and increase in the number of teeth N) is due to the weakness and reduced strength of the broach teeth. 3. Centring Centring on the sides or flanks is recommended as this will provide. several advantages during the manufacturing process. External centring is possible as the width: of. the spline at the top is always sufficient. For the shaft, a special hob i necessary and, when cutting the hole, a specially designed tool is required per diameter. However, the value of the space width at the bottom of the teeth does not permit internal centring. 4. Fits As the spline profile, defined by the nominal dimensions and the hole tolerances, is the same irrespective of the assembly method to be used, the verious fits between the shaft and the hole are obtained by varying the value of the addendum correction, as necessary. This requitement is considered in more detail in the section "Tolerances".

Centring over the flanks or sides When centring over the flanks or sides, it is not necessary to provide chamfers at the tip of the teeth. Fig. 8 The difference between the major diameter of the hole which is never less than A and the major diameter of the shaft with a value of A' = A - 0.2 m, is sufficient to clear the base of the radius (value r) at the bottom of a spline in a broached hole. 13 Décembre 1055. NF E22-141 NF E 22-141 External centring In the case of external centring, it is necessary to provide chamfers at the tip of the shaft teeth and this cannot be obtained if a standard tool is used. A second machining operation using @ grinding wheel or @ form cutter is necessary unless a "full profile" special tool is used. 3. Machining chamfers using a full profile tool The method consists of machining chamfers whose profile is the involite of a circle. The base circles for the tooth flank and the chamfer are concentric. The taol profile is formed from two straight sections, one generating the tooth flank and the other the chamfer. The tooth flank and the chamfer therefore have the same cutter pitch circle and the same circular pitch for the cutter pitch circle. 4. Chamfer pressure angle 8 d and d, are respectively the diameters of the base circles for the two. involutes (tooth flank and chamfer), the pressure angles a and 8 satisfyirig the following expressions + d D dy Dv determined by the following geometrical considerations : 16 Décombee 1955 NFEZD-141 NF E 22-141 If @ chamfer is to be correct, it is necessary for it to be of isosceles form, that is, the curvilinear trigngle Ik having an are fl = arc fk. If it is assumed that the involute arc Ik is similar to the are of a circle (or, without appreciable error, ta the segment of a straight line), it may be seen that the normal fq to the chamfer involute shall be the bisectrix of the angle jfg formed by the tangents fj and fg at the apex f of the curvilinear triangle Ifk. ° Fig. 10 This condition enables the mean angle of incidence w A of the chamfer to be determined in terms of the angle of incidence y A for the tooth flank at its Intersection with the external circle of diameter A.

It is therefore possible to adopt a single mean value of 8 = 58° where the deviation relative to the calculated value does not exceed 1.5%. This deviation is negligible given the narrowness of the chamfer.

Addendum correction x4 To obtain a chamfer with @ nominal radial height h = 0.1 m, it is necessary for the two involutes to intersect at 1 on a circle of diameter A - 0.2..m. This means that the curvilinear thickness determined for that circle, using the two series of involutes (tooth flanks and chamfers) are equal. This result is obtained by giving the chamfering tool an addendum correction x, of suitable value. 20 Décembre 1955 NFEQ2A8 NF E 22-144 a.

Designing a full profile toot A full profile tool is formed of two sections, one being the tool used for cutting the flanks of the teeth and the other tool is used for chamfering. These two sections are rigidly assembled together. The tool used for cutting has a module m and an addendum correction x. ‘The chamfering tool has the same module m and an addendum correction x, Each pair of values x, x, defines a full profile tool. The values of x are limited in number (one value only for the primary series, three values for the secondary series and two non-standard velues). However, é’different value of x, will correspond to each value for the number of teeth N. In order to limit the number of full profile tools, it is necessary to select, for x41 8 single value chosen so as to provide a chamfer which is acceptable in the majority of cases. The variation in x, is less as N becomes greater. This means that it is possible 24 Décombre 1955 NF E22-141 NF © 22-141 to cut the chamfers using a full profile tool when N exceeds 12 and that separate tools are necessary in other cases.

This latter machining method is not so flexible in its application as broaching, but its use is particularly advantageous when the machine hole is designed for centring on the flanks; it is described in documentation sheet © 22-143 (BNA 517). 29 Décembro 1955 NFEZRAA NF E 22-144 Irrespective of the machining method used, the flank and the root of a splined hole are joined by @ radius, the point of contact with the flank being on a circle of diameter L = A - 0.2 m (see Figure 17). Fig. 17 The point of contact of the radius with the root of the spline is a point K such that fl = fk, .the arc fk being considered a segment .of a straight line. Note that the points of contact I and k’ for the radius at the bottom of the hole spline satisfies the same conditions as for the tip chamfers of the shaft (Figure 10).

The tip of the shaft splines and the root of the hole splines, in the case of external centring; b. The flanks of the shaft splines end of the hole, in the case of centring on the flanks or sidess . The root of the shaft splines and the hole bore, in the case of internal centring. The relationship between surfaces which each form pairs, as described above, is determined by the fit. Assembling the shaft and the hole together therefore requires the use of three grades of fit. As internal centring is not considered, the fit between the root of the shaft splines and the hole bore will be such that these surfaces are not in contact under any circumstances. In the case of centring of the flanks, only the flanks of the teeth on the shaft and in the hole may be in contact; the corresponding surfaces for each of the other two fits will not be in contact. In the case of external centring, the tips of the shaft splines and the bottom of the hole splines will be in contact and this also applies to the flanks of the teeth for the shaft and the hole. This dual relationship between the shaft and the hole requires the existence of an appreciable clearance between the flanks of the teeth for the shaft and the hole in order to ensure that the inherent accuracy of en external centring assembly is maintained. Irrespective of the type of centring (external or on the flanks) and the type of fit (sliding or interference), the hole tolerances are always identical. 32 Décombro 1955 NF-EZ2-141 NF OE 22-141 The various fits corresponding to the several types of centring and grades of fit are obtained, in each case, by suitably selecting the shaft tolerances. Fits Depending on the permissible value for the clesrance or interference between two surfaces, four theoretical grades of fit may be distinguished : 1. Clearance fit Conventionally, this describes that class of fit which concerns surfaces where contact is prevented by mechanical constraints which the assembly itself is required to satisfy. 2. Sli 9 fit In this case, the clearance is reduced to a minimum compatible with relative movement between surfaces in contact, parallel to the shaft and hole common axis. 3. Interference fit There is interference between surfaces but parts may be dismantled without damaging the surfaces in contact. 4, Force fit In this case, the degree of interference exceeds that for the preceding fit and any dismantling of parts means that one of the parts is inevitably damaged or destroyed. Selection of centring method, depending on the type of assembly required Centring on the flanks is recommended for all assemblies because of the ease of manufacture involved. However, the type of splines described in this document are also suitable for external centring but selecting the type of centring is not independent of the type of assembly required. If centring on the flanks and external centring are both suitable for use with a sliding fit, it is necessary to use centring on the flanks in the case of an 33 Décembre 1955.

NF Ez2-141 NF OE 22-141 TOLERANCES ON THE MAJOR DIAMETER Na Gee Fig. 18 The splined shafts described in this document have been designed so that, in all cases, they may be used with ball bearings (special tolerances being selected for the bores). For this reason, the following tolerances have been selected for the major diameter of the shaft and the hole. 1. Hole For the hole major diameter, tolerance R7 has been adopted and this is valid for all types of centring, assemblies and fits. 2, Shaft Assuming that tolerance R7 is used for the hole major diameter, "clearance" and "sliding" fits on the major diameter are obtained as follows : a. Clearance fit This grade of fit is only used when centring on the flanks or sides. In this case, the nominal value for the hole major diameter is equal to A (broached hole) or A + 0.3 m (gear cut hole) and the nominal value of the shaft major diameter is A - 0.2 m. It is therefore unnecessary to specify a tolerance value for the shaft major 35 Dévembre 1955. NF E22-141 NF E 22-141 diameter, provided that this tolerance is a minus tolerance. . Sliding fit This grade of fit is only used for external centring. In this case, the tolerance on the shaft major diameter is d7. TOLERANCES ON THE MINOR DIAMETER: As internal centring is not considered, the minor diameters for the shaft and the hole correspond to a clearance fit. The nominal value of the hole bore D = A - 2m and that for the shaft minor diameter B = A - 2.4m have been selected so as to leave a clearance between the bore of the hole and the bottom of the sheft splines. Provided that the tolerances on B and D are in the right direction (plus for D and minus for B), it is not necessary to specify. these. However, in the case of a broached hole, it is recommended that tolerance value H7 is specified for the bore D of the hole. This tolerance ensures that the broach is correctly centred in the hole. TOLERANCES ON THE FLANKS OR SIDES The position of a flank or side of an involute profile spline relative to another flank or side with the same profile is determined by the curvilinear distance between thése two flanks measured over the same base circle. If the two flanks form part of the same spline (shaft) or the same spline space (hole), this curvilinear distance is the circular basic tooth thickness e. If the two flanks form part of different splines or spline spaces, their curvilinear distance measured over the base circle is a linear function of the circular basic tooth thickness e and the circular base pitch ps 36 Décombre 1955 NFE22441 NF E 22-147 In particular, the base tangent length E over K teeth has the value : E=(«-Dpre Also, the base circle curvilinear space width has the value: 1 = p ~ e Relationship between a deviation in the tool depth of cut and the corresponding deviation in the circular basic tooth thickness The depth of cut of the tool is determined by the addendum correction xm. Any variation in the depth of cut may be defined by a deviation 6x in the value of the coefficient x. This variation has no effect on the base pitch but results in @ deviation in the cular basic tooth thickness. 7 Décembre 1955.

Tolerance on the base tangent length E The expression E = (I< - 1) p +e shows that the tolerance on E is the same as the tolerance on @ for the shaft. Relationship between the tolerance values and the type of centring used In the case of a sliding fit on the flanks or sides, the tolerances on the base tangent length E over K teeth, considered over the shaft and over the hole, result in a clearance between the shaft end the hole in the same direction as E is measured. If this clearance exceeds that resulting from the difference between the shaft major diameter and the hole major diameter, an external centring condition will result. Otherwise, there will be centring over the flanks or sides. 2. Tolerances on pin inspection dimensions F and G a. Shaft, Inspection over two pins.
