Abstract
A shaft member 1 and an outer peripheral member 2 disposed on the outer periphery of the shaft member 1 are joined together by splines 3 through which the teeth 31 of the shaft member 1 and the teeth 32 of the outer peripheral member 2 are fitted together. At one axial end of each spline 3, a trough 31 in the tooth 31 of the shaft member 1 is diametrically increased to provide a diametrically increased region S1. In this diametrically increased region S1, there is defined a fit region F for the tooth 31 of the shaft member 1 and the tooth 32 of the outer peripheral member 2.
