Malabou supplies splined shafts to OEMs and Industrial Clients. We supply both male and female splined drive shafts manufactured to customer specifications.
Material options include:
• Carbon Steel (e.g., SAE 1045, 1050): Common for light-duty applications where strength and wear resistance are moderate.
• Alloy Steel (e.g., SAE 4140, 4340, 8620): Used in high-stress applications, particularly where fatigue and wear are significant concerns. • Stainless Steel (e.g., 304, 316): Used when corrosion resistance is required.
Heat Treatment options include:
• Nitriding, Carburising or Induction Hardening: Used for splines, especially in higher-torque applications, to ensure the teeth have a hardened surface while the core remains tough.
• Through-Hardening: Some splines are fully hardened through heat treatment to provide maximum strength across the whole part.
• Shot Peening: Applied to splines to induce compressive stresses on the surface, enhancing fatigue resistance.
Common Standards Include:
• ISO 4156: International standard for involute splines.
• ANSI B92.1: Standard for involute splines in the U.S.
• DIN 5480: German standard for external splines.
• SAE J1033: A standard from the Society of Automotive Engineers, defining the design of external splines for automotive applications.
