Frenco International Spline Interface Standard

The document describes different methods for inspecting splines on shafts according to the International Spline Interface Standard (ISIS). The standard ISIS inspection method uses a ring gage that indicates go and no-go sizes. An alternative method from FRENCO uses separate go and no-go gages to check minimum and maximum limits individually, preventing undersized or oversized shafts from passing inspection. FRENCO also offers an indicating inspection device that can check dimensions over balls and provide easy quality control during production.

Frenco’s take on the
International
Spline Interface
Standard

The Inspection method described in the International Spline Interface Standard (ISIS), uses a ring gage
with two steps on the front side. This Ring gage shows Go and Nogo situation in one gage.
The decisive factor is the position of the shoulder on the ISIS shaft. The location of this shoulder
has to be within a range of 1.70 mm after the gage stops on the shaft. Thus, the Go situation is
achieved (GO RANGE).

If the male shoulder on spindle touches the lowest surface NO GO (MINIMUM) SURFACE on the ring gage, the
spindle is to small (UNDERSIZE). If male shoulder on spindle is above the top surface NO GO (MAXIMUM)
SURFACE of the ring gage, the spindle is out of tolerance (OVERSIZE).

ISIS – Difficulty
If a dimensoin over balls is too small in section A-A for example, it will not be recognized with the
ISIS gage concept. Unknown scrapped parts could be in circulation. The decisive factor is the
position of the shoulder “Male shoulder”. Obviously, there are shafts manufactured without
shoulders. In this case, the ISIS concept cannot be used anyway.

FRENCO ISIS Inspection Concept
The limits minimum and maximum will be checked separately. This means as already known
in the machining element splines, that a full composite profiled Go ring gage for max. effective and a
sector profiled Nogo gage for min actual will be used. This Nogo gage can figure out shafts which are
too small.

A shaft with a male shoulder has to fit in the Go ring gage so far, that the shoulder touches the front
side of the ring gage. Shafts without this shoulder will be considered to the front surface of the
shaft. The front side of the shaft has to be in contact with the internal located stop in the Go ring
gage. If the shaft reaches this stop, it can be clearly recognized with a sound.

The sector profiled Nogo gage is designed accordingly, so that it can be set on the shaft, and
the front side of the shaft must not exceed the end surface of the Nogo ring gage.

As an alternative inspection method instead of the Nogo ring gage, a FRENCO indicating
inspection device type AVMF 1x1 can be used. With this, a dimension over two balls can be
inspected in level A-A or B-B, too. During production, a range of different sizes can be
observed and controlled. The smallest dimension over balls is the min limit which is not
allowed to fall below. A setting master right on this min limit is available and the dial indicator
can be adjusted to zero with this setting master. By inspection of a shaft, it is not allowed to
fall below this min limit. Therefore, the handling is very easy with this indicating gage.
