2.2. Lesson content
2.2.1. Characteristics of spline shaft
The spline shaft has the function of transmitting torque and motion to the gears. The gears slide on the shaft thanks to the lever. The lever acts on the gears to change the position of the gears, thereby changing the output speed of the gearbox. The spline shaft is commonly used with the sliding gears of the gearboxes of universal milling machines, lathes, etc.

Figure 6.1.1: Basic parameters of spline shaft
Basic parameters of spline shaft:
- Top circle diameter: D
- Foot circumference diameter: d
- Tooth height: H
- Tooth width: B
2.2.2. Technical requirements for spline shaft
- Dimensional accuracy: D, d, B, H
Depending on the centering method between the spline shaft and the spline sleeve, the required dimensional accuracy is different.
- Tooth profile accuracy
- Sufficient number of spline shaft teeth
- Surface roughness of tooth flank Rz20
2.2.3. Select cutting mode:

Cutting mode is calculated according to the material of the cutter and the processing material. Normally, high-speed steel cutters have a cutting speed of V = 20 ÷ 40m/min. The way to choose cutting mode parameters is the same as when milling straight grooves with a disc milling cutter.

2.2.4. Implementation sequence
Step 1: Calculate the grading
N
n tq Z
Depending on the number of teeth to be machined Z
Step 2: Fixture and mount the workpiece onto the machine
Figure 6.1.3: Position adjustment
The spline shaft machining fixture is the head
Figure 6.1.2: Milling fixture for spline shaft
Universal indexing fixture fixture process is similar to that of milling spur gears.
The workpiece is clamped at one end into the 3-jaw chuck of the indexing head, the other end against the tailstock center of the indexing head or both ends against the center transmitting the torque by the clamping speed as shown in Figure 6.1.2.
Step 3: Knife holder
Determine the exact position of the milling cutter on the mandrel and check the runout of the milling cutter.
Step 4: Adjust the position of the blank knife, get the cutting depth
square tool holder
Turn on the main shaft to touch the top surface of the workpiece, then move the knife away from the workpiece to get the cutting depth T = H + 0.5. Turn off the main shaft, use a square bracket with one edge against the machine table surface and the other edge against the side of the workpiece, so that the side of the knife
Touch the square then move the knife out of the workpiece in the axial direction and move it towards the center of the workpiece by an amount

Step 5: Cut the first tooth flank of the teeth
After adjusting the blank knife and taking the cutting depth as in step 4, we proceed to remove the indexing head dirt.
Turn on the machine to cut the first tooth flank of the first tooth to the required length, then return the cutter to the original position and perform the n=N/Z division to mill the first tooth flank of the second tooth. Do the same until all the first tooth flanks of the teeth are milled.
Step 6: Cut the second tooth flank of the teeth
After cutting all the first tooth flanks of the retracted teeth to their original position, move the knife past the center of the workpiece by an amount L = B tooth + B knife to cut the second tooth flank of the first tooth to the full machining length. Then retract the knife to its original position and perform the n=N/z division to cut the second tooth flank of the second tooth. Do the same until all the second tooth flanks of the teeth are milled.
Step 7: Milling to achieve tooth root radius
Figure 6.1.4: Cutting the first tooth flank of the teeth
Figure 6.1.5: Cutting the second tooth flank of the teeth
After finishing the two tooth flanks, proceed to machine the tooth root diameter by choosing a small-width disc milling cutter so that the cutter angle does not cut into the tooth flank. Move the cutter to the center of the workpiece, lower the machine table 0.5mm compared to when milling the tooth flanks to reduce the concentration of tooth root stress, turn the indexing head to bring the center of the groove to coincide with the center of the cutter as shown in Figure 6.1.6
After each cut, rotate the workpiece at a small angle to cut off all excess machining to create the radius of the foot.
Note: Adjust the milling cutter and indexing head so that the cutter does not cut into the tooth flank.
Do the same with the next tooth grooves until tooth z. The details will be as shown in figure 1.1.7

2 | Wrong size | - Due to incorrect calculation of knife translation - Due to incorrect adjustment of the machine travel chain - Wrong measurement | - Accurate tool displacement calculation Review machine travel line value - Reinforce measurement operations |
3 | Tooth profile not satisfactory | - Due to uneven blade wear - Wrong classification | - Sharpen or replace the knife. - Main grading operation body |
4 | Tooth flank roughness not achieved | - Dull knife. - Improper cutting mode -Low stability technology system | - Sharpen or replace knife - Reselect cutting mode - Tighten the levers to prevent unnecessary movements. |
