Let us assume a shaft having 6 splines with class C fittings ( where the hub can slide under the load ).
The permissible bearing pressure is 8 N/mm2
The standard proportions of the spline are

Let,
𝑟1 And 𝑟2 = Outer and inner radii of the clutch plate respectively.
 Since the face width (or radial width) of the plate is equal to the difference of the Outer and inner

𝑏𝑓𝑙 = 𝑟1 - 𝑟2
OR

OR
𝑟1 + 𝑟2 = 2 𝑟𝑚𝑓𝑙

[4]. Dimensions of the spring :-

Let, 𝐷𝑚 = Mean diameter of the spring.

 Spring material : Spring Steel

 We know that the axial force on the friction faces,

𝑊𝑎 = 2 𝜋 𝑟𝑚𝑓𝑙 ∙ 𝑏𝑓𝑙 ∙ 𝑃𝑖
= 2π*93.75*23.43*0.125
𝑾𝒂 = 1724.85 N
In Order to allow for adjustment and for maximum engine torque the spring is designed for an
overload of 25%.

∴ Total load on the springs,

𝑊𝑡𝑎𝑠 = 1.25𝑊𝑎

 Deflection of spring is limited to 6.03 mm. (given)
∴ Let, 𝑛𝑎 = no. of active turns of the spring.
