Adjustment overview

Adjusting bevel gear taper roller bearing preload (friction torque)

The shaft bevel gear is removed.

  • ‒ Fit 1.2 mm shim (Part No.113 517 211 A) in small taper roller bearing outer race seat (S2side).
  • ‒ Press outer race in
  • ‒ Fit bevel gear with input shaft with taper roller bearing.
  • ‒ Install cover with large taper roller bearing outer race but without O-ring, drive flange seal and without shim S1.
  • ‒ Press bevel gear/input shaft in direction of cover and simultaneously turn eight times.
  • ‒ Press bevel gear/input shaft in direction of small taper roller bearing outer race and simultaneously turn eight times.

  • ‒ → Fit dial gauge (2 mm preload)
    A - Gauge extension 30 mm
  • ‒ Move bevel gear with input shaft up and down (direction of arrow)
  • ‒ Read off play from dial gauge and determine Stotal.

Example:

Shim

1.20 mm

+

Preload (constant)

0.30 mm

+

Play (read off dial gauge)

0.35 mm

Stotal =

1.85 mm

Fit Stotal instead of 1.20 mm thick shim and check bearing preload via friction torque.

Determining shim S2thickness (adjusting backlash)

 
V39-1347

Pinion housing with shaft bevel gear and S3 installed

Bevel gear with input shaft with Stotalfitted to S2side (Example: 1.85 mm) installed. Friction torque for bevel gear with input shaft and shaft bevel gear bearings must be correct.

  • ‒ → Fit measuring tools.
    • ‒ Gauge extension approx. 25 mm long
    • ‒ Dimension "a" = 39 mm
    • ‒ Install measuring lever VW 388 so that the gauge extension is at right angles to measuring face.
  • ‒ Turn bevel gear with input shaft in onto stop. Zero dial gauge, turn bevel gear with input shaft back and read off backlash. Note value.
  • ‒ Loosen clamping sleeve locking screw and after turning bevel gear with input shaft through a further 90°, repeat complete measuring process a further 3 times. Add the four measured values together and calculate average backlash.

Calculating average backlash

Example:

1st measurement

1.25 mm

+

2nd measurement

1.24 mm

+

3rd measurement

1.25 mm

+

4th measurement

1.26 mm

Total

5.00 mm

Average backlash = 5.00 mm /4
= 1.25 mm.

Note:

The relationship backlash to bevel gear with input shaft displacement is almost a ratio of 1:1. Therefore the calculated average backlash can be used directly for calculating S2.

  • ‒ Install determined shim S2 instead of Stotal.

If the size of shim required is larger than those listed in the table, insert two shims totalling the correct figure.

  • ‒ Different tolerances make it possible to select the exact thickness of shim(s) required.
  • ‒ Press outer race in again and fit bevel gear with input shaft.

  • ‒ Insert determined S1 shim.

If the size of shim required is larger than those listed in the table, insert two shims totalling the correct figure.

  • ‒ Different tolerances make it possible to determine the exact thickness of shim(s) required.
  • ‒ Press outer race in again.
  • ‒ Fit cover.

Carry out control measurement - measuring backlash

  • ‒ It must be 0.15...0.25 mm.
