Recommended Sequence for Adjusting Gear Set

Recommended Sequence for Adjusting Gear Set

If drive pinion and gear ring have to be adjusted, the following sequence is recommended for maximum efficiency:

‹› Total shim thickness "Stotal". Determine (S3 plus S4) for specified preload of tapered roller bearing/pinion.

‹› Total shim thickness "Stotal". Distribute total shim thickness (S3 plus S4) so that the dimension from the center of the crown wheel to the front the

pinion matches dimension " R".

‹› Total shim thickness "Stotal". Determine (S1 plus S2) for specified preload of tapered roller bearing/differential.

‹› Total shim thickness "Stotal". Distribute (S1 plus S2) so that the specified torsional backlash is present between ring gear and drive pinion.
