Spline Broaching Services for Precision Internal Profiles

At Broaching Technologies, our spline broaching services are performed using rigid vertical slotting machines that provide precise stroke control and repeatable cutting action. This allows us to produce consistent internal spline geometry with reliable tooth form, depth, and surface finish across prototype and production volumes.

What Is Spline Broaching?

Spline broaching machines multiply internal teeth inside a bore to form a mating spline profile. Unlike a single keyway, a spline spreads torque across many contact surfaces at once, raising load capacity and keeping mating parts precisely aligned under real working loads.

Why Spline Broaching Requires Precision Equipment

Uniform tooth geometry across the full profile depends on two things: steady cutting motion and a rigid machine. When depth or spacing drifts even slightly, load rides unevenly across the teeth — leading to accelerated wear or early failure of the finished part.

As the exclusive U.S. distributor of C.A.M.S. slotting machines, Broaching Technologies runs the same equipment we sell — so we know firsthand how these machines perform in live production, not just on paper.

Spline Broaching as a Core Capability

Internal spline broaching work is a core capability here, supporting manufacturers who need dependable custom spline profiles for parts that carry real load.

Involute Spline Broaching

High-precision involute profiles built for efficient torque transmission in gears, shafts, and couplings.

Parallel Key Spline Broaching

A cost-effective option where evenly spaced parallel splines deliver a smooth, reliable rotational fit.

Serration Spline Broaching

Fine serrations for small, high-torque parts such as transmission shafts, giving positive grip and tight alignment.

External Spline Cutting

External splines cut onto shafts and rods using precise tooling and calibrated setups.

Custom Spline Broaching Tools Creation

Proprietary broach tools designed and manufactured in-house to match your exact part specifications.

Spline Broaching for Specialized Components

Complex, low-volume parts with custom profiles — including blind-hole and asymmetric geometries — handled with tailored setups.

Tooling and Engineering Expertise for Spline Broaching

Cut quality lives and dies on the tool. Broaching Technologies designs, maintains, and reconditions custom broaches to suit each profile, material, and tolerance band — which is why our results stay consistent job after job.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is spline broaching?

Spline broaching machines multiple internal teeth within a bore to transmit torque and maintain precise component alignment.

How is spline broaching different from keyway broaching?

Spline broaching creates multiple teeth for higher torque capacity, while keyway broaching produces a single internal slot.

Can internal splines be broached accurately?

Yes, internal splines can be broached accurately using rigid machines with precise stroke and tooling control.

What machines are used for spline broaching?

Spline broaching is typically performed on vertical slotting or broaching machines with controlled cutting strokes.

What materials can be spline broached?

Spline broaching can be performed on steels, stainless steel, aluminum alloys, titanium, and high strength alloys.

Is spline broaching suitable for production work?

Yes, spline broaching is well suited for production due to its repeatability and consistent profile accuracy.
