  • Publication number: 20070274794
    Abstract: A location and drive interface connection for machine tools and drive systems uses cooperating first and second sets of serrations at oblique angles on the mating surfaces of a drive component and a driven component for location and torque transfer. The oblique intersecting angles of the serrations provide for single precise location and alignment and high-efficiency torque transfer through the meshed serrations.
