: The Reference Diameter . This is not the major or minor diameter, but rather the diameter that directly correlates with the matching bearing size. 3 : The Module ( ). This determines the actual size of the spline teeth. 38 : The Number of Teeth ( ).

Before you open a PDF, you must understand the naming convention. A typical DIN 5480 designation looks like this:

DIN 5480 is the German standard for based on reference diameters. It is widely used in mechanical engineering for power transmission, particularly in automotive and industrial machinery. Key Characteristics Pressure Angle: Fixed at 30° . Module Range: Typically ranges from 0.5 to 10 . Teeth Range: Standard covers 6 to 82 teeth .
