Round

Round keys are circular in section and fit into the holes drilled partly in the shaft and partly in a hub. Their keyways may be
drilled and reamed after mating parts have been assembled. Commonly used on low power drive applications.

e. Splines

Splines are ridges or teeth on a drive shaft that mesh with grooves in a mating piece and transfer torque to it, maintaining the
angular correspondence between them. A gear mounted on a shaft might use a male spline on the shaft that matches the
female spline on the gear. Splines generally provide a longer fatigue life than standard key/keyways.

Aircraft engines may have a spline upon which mounts the propeller. There may be a master spline which is wider than the
others, so that the propeller may go on at only one orientation, to maintain dynamic balance. This arrangement is commonly
found in larger engines, whereas smaller engines typically use a pattern of threaded fasteners instead.

5.10.2 Describe the techniques and practices associated with the replacement of threaded bushings and inserts.

Replacement bushings are usually special material (steel or brass spark plug bushings into aluminium cylinder heads). A material
that will resist wear is used where removal and replacement is frequent. The external threads on the bushing are usually coarse.
The bushing is installed, a thread lock compound may or may not be used, and staked to prevent loosening. Many bushings have
left-hand threads external and right-hand threads internal. With this installation, removal of the bolt or stud (right-hand threads)
tends to tighten the bushing.

Bushings for common installations, such as spark plugs, may be up to 0.040 oversize (in increments of 0.005). Original
installation and overhaul shop replacements are shrunk fit: a heated cylinder head and a frozen bushing.
