Spline Standards 1

[Philrock]

I understand that SAE standard B92.1 has been withdrawn and there is no superseding standard. I also understand that B92.2M is current and applies to metric module splines. What is the main current standard covering inch/diametral pitch splines?

I looked at the SAE website and it doesn't mention that it's withdrawn.

I have recently completed a spline design, male by female, for high torsional usage in the oilfield.

I used a design from IIT (Indian Institute of Technology) which was pulled from a textbook, Machine Design Datum Handbook, K Linghaiah, 1994 [ISBN 0-07-037933-5], pg 17.10. In addition to geometry, several equations are provided for performance, stress-strain, maximum applied torque, shear, contact area, the list goes on.

There are several alternate geometriesSAE and American Standard in addition to the Indian Standard Tables, pg 17.16. Dimensions are listed for metric and imperial, depending on the quoted specification.

I find this textbook to be an absolute rocking reference. If you want to spend a few sheckles, this would be quite the investment.

Hope this helps you out.

I don't think that ANSI-B92.1 Involute spline standard has been withdrawn. It is still the main standard being used by major commercial and aircraft companies in the USA.
