Splines are sometimes ised to time a joint at the right angle of engagment, such as in vehicle drive shafts. The U-joints at both ends of a drive shaft must be aligned so that both yokes are facing the same radial dierection. If they are not aligned, the drive shaft develops tremendous vibratios problems in operation.

Splined shafts and sockets are used for transmitting power and at the same time accomodate axial movements of the shaft and socked along the axis.

Techniques of fitting keys and splines?

It is usually one or the other. Keys are simple, the key goes in the slot and the pulley is aligned and pushed on. Splines usually have a smooth section on the end of the shaft to rest the pulley on, make slight contact with the end of the splines and slowly turn the pulley until you feel the splines match.
