Transverse Key vs Spline Shaft: Efficiency and Design Trade-Offs in Torque Transmission

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This research evaluates transverse keys against various spline connections for torque transfer efficiency. Fine splines demonstrate superior performance overall, while transverse keys offer competitive advantages for narrow hubs and cost-sensitive applications. The findings guide designers in selecting suitable connection types based on torque requirements, manufacturing complexity, and practical constraints.
