Spline hobbing in Melbourne

Post by cj »

Anyone know where you can get splines hobbed in Melbourne? Looking at getting some 30 spline axle shafts made.

With axle slines, a rolled instead of hobbed spline is prefered, we use rolled splines on as many of our output shafts at work as possible

I'd love rolled splines but I thought hobbed might be easier to acheive. I'm looking at going from a 26 spline 27.4mm O.D. semi-floating axle to a 30 spline 33.3mm O.D. full floater. It was suggested to use N26 and then harden after the spline was done.

I believe Hardman Bros have made some custom axles for 4wders in the past.

That material should be EN26 (perhaps you only made a typo). And yes it would have to be heat treated after cutting the splines.

As Michael said, Jack MacNamara differentials. The have a solid track record manufacturing 30 spline axles from EN26.
