An Insight into the Splines on a Ford Steering Wheel Shaft
Splines are a critical feature on a Ford steering wheel shaft and their number plays a key role in ensuring the smooth operation of the steering wheel. The precise number of splines on a Ford steering wheel shaft is generally 36. This consistency in the number of splines is designed to provide a balance between the strength and flexibility of the steering wheel shaft.

- Quality Assurance: All our spline shafts go through stringent quality checks to ensure top performance and reliability.
Types of Spline Shafts and Their Features
Parallel Key Shaft
Parallel Key Shafts are known for their simple design and durability. They offer easy assembly and are ideal for high torque applications.

Spline Shaft with Involute Spline
Involute Spline Shafts are designed for precision applications. They offer high torque transmission efficiency and have a self-centering design.
Internal Spline Shaft
Internal Spline Shafts provide a secure connection between the shaft and the hub. They offer high torque transmission and are ideal for applications requiring a compact design.
Non-circular Spline Shaft
Non-circular Spline Shafts are designed for special applications. They allow for the transmission of non-uniform motion and are known for their unique design flexibility.
Choosing the Correct Spline Shaft

When choosing a spline shaft, several parameters need to be considered. These include the Shaft Diameter, Spline Type, Number and Size of Splines, Shaft Length, Material, and Surface Treatment. Each of these parameters has a specific role in determining the performance and suitability of the spline shaft for a particular application.

Our Manufacturing Process
Our spline shafts are manufactured using a meticulous process that involves several stages.
- Material Preparation: We start with high-grade steel, ensuring a strong and durable final product.
- Cutting: The steel is cut to the required size, using precision cutting techniques.
- Rough Machining: The rough shape of the spline shaft is then machined, providing the basic form for the final product.
- Spline Cutting: The splines are then cut into the shaft, using advanced cutting tools and techniques.
- Finish Machining: The spline shaft is then finish machined, providing a high level of precision and accuracy.
- Heat Treatment: The spline shaft undergoes a heat treatment process, enhancing its strength and durability.
- Surface Treatment: The spline shaft is then surface treated, providing a superior finish and enhanced corrosion resistance.
- Inspection and Calibration: The finished spline shaft is thoroughly inspected and calibrated, ensuring it meets the highest standards of quality and performance.
- Packing and Delivery: The spline shaft is then carefully packed and delivered, ready for use in a wide range of applications.
