In mechanical systems that require secure torque transmission and alignment, splines and keyways are fundamental components. At Machinefabriek Krimpen, we provide expert manufacturing and repair services for spline shafts, keyway components, and precision spline connections, ensuring smooth performance and long-lasting durability in rotating machinery.
What Are Spline and Keyway Connections?
A spline connection consists of grooves or teeth on a shaft that fit precisely into a mating component, like a gear or hub. A keyway is a slot or groove in a shaft that accommodates a key, which locks rotating elements together. Both play a vital role in:
Transmitting torque without slippage
Maintaining angular alignment
Enabling disassembly and maintenance
These features make splines and keyways essential in everything from heavy gearboxes to drive axles and pump assemblies.
Our Spline and Keyway Services
We manufacture and repair various types of spline and key systems, including:
Straight splines (internal and external)
Involute splines
Helical splines
Parallel and tapered keyways
Our machining capabilities cover:
CNC turning and milling for shaft and bore machining
Spline broaching and slotting
Keyway cutting with high dimensional accuracy
Surface hardening for wear resistance
Spline Shaft Repair & Reverse Engineering
Damaged or worn spline shafts? We provide precision spline shaft repair and rebuilds. If original documentation is unavailable, we can reverse-engineer your existing part to exact specifications and restore it to OEM-level performance.
We also work with custom tolerances and exotic materials like hardened steel, alloyed metals, and stainless steel — depending on your application.
