Gear & Spline Manufacturing · Application
Spline and serration cutting
Serration cutters and hobs produce splines and serrations on shafts and hubs that transmit torque.
- What was needed
- Serration Cutter, Malkar Spline Rolls
- Requirements
- Precise fit with the mating part
- High torque and shock loads
- Standard and special profiles
- Result
- Interchangeable splined shafts and hubs that carry high torque.
Problem
PTO shafts, axle shafts, steering parts and hubs transmit torque through splines or serrations, which must fit their mating parts precisely and carry shock loads.
Solution
Serration cutters and spline hobs generate the profile on the shaft or hub to the specified standard or drawing.
- Fine serrations transmit torque in a short length and allow fine angular positioning.
- Tools are made to standard and special profiles.
Benefits
Why it works
Precise fit
Accurate profiles for interchangeable parts.
High torque capacity
Many teeth share the load.

Gear hobbing
Hob cutters generate spur and helical gears for gearboxes, pumps, machinery and vehicles.
Thread rolling of bolts, studs and screws
Thread rolling dies form threads without removing material, giving stronger, smoother threads at high production rates.
Press-in studs and wheel studs
A straight knurl under the head bites into the hole so the stud cannot turn when the nut is tightened.
