I hear various references in many cases about the spline counts in many applications....such as clutches, diffy's driveshafts/etc....
so, if the diameter is the same, the more splines make each smaller.....
but obviously a larger shaft has more strength, metal for metal....and so what affect does the spline count have on overall strength IF keeping the same diameter/material/hardness???
OR, if the spline count is just a 'easy' reference as to strength....why??
and isn't it easier to just Mic the diameter of whatever, and go from there???
:clobbered::huh:
