I would observe that I think second guessing is a healthy part of any well controlled process and the goal of this framework is certainly not to restrict second guessing, rather itâs to improve judgment quality and thereby the acceptability and credibility of the judgment with those charged with second guessing them.
They can be flat root, fillet root, or major diameter fit. The purpose of this type of spline is to allow for angular misalignment between the shaft and mating detail. This is accomplished by crowning the male tooth. The tooth (usually) has a symmetrical crown about the centerline of the spline face-width.
a) The external major diameter, unless chamfered or reduced, may interfere with the internal form diameter on flat root side fit splines. Internal splines made to the 1957 and 1960 standards had the same dimensions as shown for the major diameter fit splines in this standard. b) For 15 teeth or less, the minor diameter of the internal spline, unless chamfered, will interfere with the form diameter of the external spline. c) For 9 teeth or less, the minor diameter of the internal spline, unless chamfered, will interfere with form diameter of the external spline.
