The present invention relates to a splined connection. The splined connection comprises a shaft (1) provided with longitudinal protruding ridges (3) and intermediate grooves (4), a hub (2) which is provided with correspondingly shaped ridges (6) and intermediate grooves (7) and is adapted to being fitted in engagement with the shaft's ridges (3) and grooves (4) so as to provide between the shaft (1) and the hub (2) a connection region causing these latter to rotate together, and sealing means adapted to closing off said connection region. Said sealing means comprise two annular sealing elements (11, 12) adapted to being applied at an axial distance from one another and adjacent to the connection region so that the sealing elements (11, 12) are each in continuous contact with a surface of the shaft (1a, 1b) round the whole of their inner radial surface and in continuous contact with a surface of the hub (2a, 2b) round the whole of their outer radial surface. <IMAGE> |
