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:





• Determine shim "S3" so that the dimension from center of ring gear to facing drive of drive pinion corresponds to the installation dimension determined during production.

• Determine shim "S4" for double angular contact ball bearing preload.

• Total shim thickness "Stotal" Determine (S 1 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.
