Gear Set Adjustment Recommended Sequence

The following work sequence is recommended to save time when crown wheel and pinion shaft have to be adjusted:

‹› Determine total shim thickness "Stotal" (S 3 plus S4) for the specified preload on pinion shaft tapered roller bearings.

‹› Distribute total shim thickness "Stotal" (S 3 plus S4) so that dimension from center of crown wheel to end face of pinion shaft corresponds to

installation dimension " R" determined during production.

‹› Determine total shim thickness "Stotal" (S 1 plus S2) for the specified preload on differential tapered roller bearings.

‹› Distribute total shim thickness "Stotal" (S 1 plus S2) so that the specified backlash between crown wheel and pinion shaft is obtained.
