Spline and Key Dimension Calculator

Calculate a user-sized spline or key to fit matching slots across a joint.

Prefilled values are examples. Replace them with measurements and current costs for your project.

Inputs

Matching slot geometry

Range: at least 0.01 in

Range: at least 0.01 in

Range: at least 0 in

Range: at least 0 in

Enter total clearance across the slot width; no universal fit is assumed.

Range: at least 0.01 in
