摘要： Apparatus and a method for splining annular thin wall power transmission members in a manner that provides precise spline formation and accurately maintains the roundness of the splined members. A toothed pinion type mandrel of the apparatus mounts a power transmission member to be splined between a pair of cooperable dies of the apparatus. Each die has at least one first tooth group and a second tooth group, and teeth of each tooth group are spaced therealong with the teeth of the first group spaced farther from each other than the teeth of the second group. Driving of the dies relative to each other and the power transmission member mounted on the mandrel initially engages the farther spaced teeth with the mounted transmission member so as to cooperate in a meshing relationship with the toothed mandrel with the power transmission member therebetween to form a first set of splines. Subsequent movement of the dies engages the closer spaced teeth with the power transmission member to mesh with the first set of splines therein while concomitantly cooperating in a meshing relationship with the toothed mandrel with the power transmission member therebetween to form a second set of splines intermediate the first set of splines. Still subsequent driving movement of the dies again engages the splined power transmission member with the farther spaced teeth to mesh with the splines while skipping at least alternating locations therebetween to correct any out of roundness of the member.

摘要： A method and machine for splining a power transmission member by rolling are disclosed as well as the resultant splined member. An externally toothed pinion-type mandrel of the machine is rotatably mounted between a pair of elongated dies. An unsplined member is supported by the mandrel so that sliding movement of the elongated dies from an end-to-end relationship to an overlapping relationship meshes teeth on the dies and the teeth on the mandrel with a thin-walled annular sleeve portion of the member therebetween. The meshing of the die and mandrel teeth deforms the sleeve portion of the member radially to form the splines and also rotates the mandrel to complete the spline forming operation about the total circumference of the member. The mandrel may be removably mounted in a manner that permits a pair of the members to be simultaneously splined by a single stroke of the elongated dies. The mandrel and one of the dies include synchronizing teeth that are directly meshed with each other to synchronize the commencement of mandrel rotation with the commencement of die movement. The die teeth are sized to form the splines radially in a unique progressive manner and have tooth forms that prevent slippage between the dies and the sleeve portion being splined. Also, the teeth may form the lengths of the splines progressively to lessen the maximum tooth load and thereby increase the die life. The splined member has relatively tough splines and an end mounting wall that is maintained flat during the spline rolling.
