The standard defines the geometry using the following key terms:
Tip Diameter (da2)=m×(z−1)Tip Diameter open paren d sub a 2 end-sub close paren equals m cross open paren z minus 1 close paren
"N" indicates an internal spline (hub/hub profile). "W" indicates an external spline (shaft profile). 40: The nominal reference diameter ( ) in millimeters. 2: The module ( ), which dictates the tooth size. 18: The total number of teeth (
: Principles, basic geometry, and design structure.
df1=m×(z−1.4+2x)d f 1 equals m cross open paren z minus 1.4 plus 2 x close paren 3. Internal Spline (Hub) Dimensions
The most critical part of the standard for designers and engineers is . This is where you will find the verified tables of numbers that define a specific spline.
To use the PDF effectively, you must understand how dimensions are organized. DIN 5480 is split into 16 parts, but for dimensions, you primarily need Parts 1, 2, and 15.
db=d×cos(30∘)=m×z×0.866025d sub b equals d cross cosine open paren 30 raised to the composed with power close paren equals m cross z cross 0.866025 Base Pitch (

The DIN 5480 standard defines the geometry, dimensions, and gauging practices for involute splines based on reference diameters. Unlike other standards that rely strictly on pitch diameter, DIN 5480 centers its calculation structure around a standardized reference diameter (
