SPLINED COUPLINGS
A splined coupling (16) comprises a radially inner shaft (20) and a radially outer shaft (22) having a cavity (24) for receiving the inner shaft (20). First splines (30) are provided on a radially outwardly facing surface of the inner shaft (20). Second splines (38) are provided on a radially inward...

Zusammenfassung: | A splined coupling (16) comprises a radially inner shaft (20) and a radially outer shaft (22) having a cavity (24) for receiving the inner shaft (20). First splines (30) are provided on a radially outwardly facing surface of the inner shaft (20). Second splines (38) are provided on a radially inwardly facing surface of the cavity (24) of the outer shaft (22). The first splines (30) are slidably engaged with the second splines (38). At least one biasing element (80), for example a diaphragm (80) is arranged to act between the radially inner and radially outer shafts (20, 22) for locating the first splines (30) in a desired axial position relative to the second splines (38) and to provide a biasing force resisting the axial movement of the first splines (30) relative to the second splines (38) upon relative axial movement of the inner and outer shafts (20, 22). |
