ABSTRACT:
A splined connection comprises a shaft with longitudinal radially outwardly protruding ridges and intermediate grooves, a hub provided with correspondingly shaped ridges and intermediate grooves and is adapted to being fitted in engagement with the shaft ridges and grooves to provide between the shaft and the hub a connection region causing the shaft and hub to rotate together. A sealing arrangement adapted to close off the connection region. The sealing arrangement comprises two annular sealing elements applied at an axial distance from one another and adjacent to the connection region so that the sealing elements are each in continuous contact with a surface of the shaft around the whole of their inner radial surface and in continuous contact with a surface of the hub around the whole of their outer radial surface.
