I'm trying to identify the axle spline on my Royale RP-21.
It's has 6 square spline teeth, not involute splines. I assume the inner part might be off something production. The inner has the markings SK9 and WP cast or forged into the rough part of the piece.
I mic'd the splines and that's where it gets confusing. The i.d. of the minor diameter is .960 and the major diameter is 1.163. That doesn't line up with anything in my Machinery Handbook or any other reference. Also, the minor diameter is the surface that is a tight fit, not the major diameter. I thought splines were usually designed to be tight on the major diameter. None of the measurements convert to anything metric, so further confusion.
Thanks.
I've never had any luck with Royale UK.
