The present invention relates to a method for the profile generation of involute-based toothed shaft connections, comprising: determination of a circle described by the reference diameter d.sub.B′, distance-based generation of the shaft top circle using the reference diameter distance A.sub.dB, the shaft top circle being the quasi first element of the shaft profile; distance-based generation the hub top circle using the effective touching height h.sub.w, distance-based determination of the touching point between the shaft tooth flank and the shaft root fillet using the shaft form oversize of the reference profile C.sub.FP1 or the shaft form oversize C.sub.FP1 generation of the shaft root fillet, the shaft reference profile being already completely generated by means of this step in the case of full filleting of the shaft; constant-tangent generation of the shaft root circle for shaft root filleting, this step being required only in the case of partial filleting; and obtainment of the shaft profile.

The present invention relates to a measuring device with a magnetic field sensor for detecting at least one operating parameter of an agricultural joint shaft for torque transmission between a power take-off shaft of a towing vehicle and a transmission of an agricultural appliance, which includes at least one journal cross, to the opposing journals of which a shaft body is connected, and a protective tube rotatably accommodating the shaft body therein, wherein the magnetic field sensor is adapted to measure a magnetic field emanating from the bare shaft body of the joint shaft.

A shaft assembly (22, 32) for an aircraft turbine engine (1), comprising a first outer shaft (32) and a second inner shaft (22), the first outer shaft being intended to be engaged axially on the second shaft and comprising inner longitudinal splines (34) for coupling with outer longitudinal splines (24) of the second shaft, characterised in that, when the first and second shafts are in the coupling position, the inner and outer splines are engaged in one another and cooperate with each other in an axial coupling area (Z), the inner and outer teeth being situated outside this coupling area.

Systems and methods include providing an aircraft with a fuselage and a wing assembly rotatable relative to the fuselage about a stow axis between a flight position and a stowed position. The aircraft includes an engine reduction gearbox having a retractable driveshaft that selectively engages the mid-wing gearbox via axially translatable motion along a rotation axis when the wing assembly is in the flight position. The mid-wing gearbox includes a plunger seal that is displaced in response to contact with the retractable driveshaft. Displacement of the plunger seal allows lubricant to flow through an inner bore in the retractable driveshaft, across splines of the retractable driveshaft and the mid-wing gearbox, and through lubrication ports in the mid-wing gearbox to lubricate the engine reduction gearbox, splines of the retractable driveshaft and the mid-wing gearbox, and the mid-wing gearbox via a single lubrication system.

A torsion bar assembly comprises an input shaft, an output shaft, and a torsion bar that connects the input shaft to the output shaft. An end stop face on the input shaft that co-operates with a respective end stop face of the output shaft to limit an angular deflection of the torsion bar assembly in a first direction away from the neutral position and an end stop face on the input shaft that co-operates with a respective end stop face of the output shaft to limit an angular deflection of the torsion bar assembly in a second direction that opposes the first direction. A first alignment feature is provided at or close to the end of the input shaft nearest the output shaft and a second alignment feature is provided at or close to an end of the output shaft nearest to the input shaft, the first alignment feature facing the second alignment feature across a gap. The alignment features each define respective contact surfaces such that if the input shaft and the output shaft are pressed axially towards each other to close up the gap the contact faces co-operate to set relative angular positions of the input shaft and the output shaft to correspond to a neutral position.
