Loading Conditions - Metric dialog box

Specifies the influence of production and operating parameters to the connection acceptability.

Access:

Ribbon: Design tab Power Transmission panel Involute Splines. In the Involute Spline Connection Generator, on the Calculation tab, click Loading Conditions.
Note: This dialog box is available only if you select the ISO or CSN spline type and Metric Method in the Strength Calculation area on the Calculation tab.

Factor of Tooth Side Contact

The factor indicates the load is not spread evenly on all the spline teeth because of production and assembly inaccuracy. At a common and higher mounting accuracy, it is supposed that one half of teeth carry the load (K s = 0.5), for splining with higher production inaccuracy the load is only carried by one third of teeth (K s = 0.3).
