Backlash/Tooth Contact Pattern Adjustment
Secure special tool 00 2 500 (dial gauge holder) and measure
torsional face runout,
refer to Technical Data.
Caution!
The tooth contact pattern is always most important for a
perfectly adjusted pinion/crown wheel.
To check the tooth contact pattern, coat the crown wheel teeth
with printer's ink, turn in both directions several times and stop
crown wheel suddenly with a piece of hard wood.
Correction to torsional face runout and contact pattern is
performed by altering the thicknesses of both shims (1).
If backlash is too great, install a thinner shim on the crown wheel
end.
If backlash is too small, use a thicker shim on the crown wheel
end.
Axial displacement of the crown wheel of 0.01 mm signifies a
change in tooth flank clearance of 0.0076 mm.
Caution!
The total of both shim thicknesses must not be altered.
