Hirth joint

A Hirth joint or Hirth coupling is a type of mechanical connection named after its developer Albert Hirth. It is used to connect two pieces of a shaft together and is characterized by tapered teeth that mesh together on the end faces of each half shaft. Hirth joints are not considered to be the same as face spline joints, due to their differing geometry.
