The stainless steel spline sleeve/joint, a precision automotive component, is a core component for efficient power transmission and precise positioning in the automotive transmission system. It is made of high-quality stainless steel materials such as 304 and 316L, and is made through precision processing such as CNC turning, gear hobbing, and grinding. Its main body is hollow cylindrical, with regularly distributed spline teeth on the inner or outer wall. By tightly meshing with the spline shaft, it stably transmits the rotational power of the engine and gearbox to the wheels, steering mechanism and other components.
Core advantages | Technical highlights | Application value |
High-precision transmission | Using cold precision hobbing technology, the spline tooth profile error is ≤±0.005mm, the indexing error is ≤±0.01mm, and the matching tolerance is controlled within ±0.008mm | Achieve zero-gap power transmission, ensure smooth gear shifting and precise steering, reduce transmission noise, and improve driving experience |
Super corrosion resistance | The molybdenum content of 316L stainless steel is ≥2%, the surface is passivated, and the salt spray test is more than 2000 hours without rust | Adapt to harsh environments such as coastal areas, high humidity and acid rain, extend the service life of chassis and transmission system components, and reduce maintenance costs |
High load bearing capacity | After solid solution strengthening treatment, the tensile strength is ≥700MPa, the yield strength is ≥300MPa, and it can withstand torques above 10000N・m | Meet the high-intensity power transmission requirements of heavy-duty trucks, off-road vehicles and other models, and ensure stable operation under complex working conditions |
Wear resistance and fatigue resistance | The surface is nitrided, the hardness reaches HV750 or above, and it is matched with low roughness processing (Ra≤0.4μm) | Effectively reduce friction loss, improve component fatigue resistance, and maintain excellent performance under frequent start-stop and speed change conditions |
Flexible customization | Supports personalized customization of spline type (rectangular, involute), specification (minor diameter 6-100mm), and length (20-500mm) | Adapt to the transmission systems of different brands and models of cars, and improve vehicle assembly compatibility and design flexibility |
