Ring And Pinion Wear Pattern

The heel of the gear tooth is the portion of.

Ring and pinion wear pattern.

Ring and pinion gear pattern is one of the most valuable tools for determining if a differential is properly set up. Ring gear tooth profile face hobbing face milling the toe of the gear is the portion of the tooth surface at the end towards the center. Move the pinion out away from the differential carrier subtract pinion shim. For more in depth information about ring and pinion gear patterns and how.

The ring gear is too far in toward the pinion. Load the ring gear and run a full contact pattern check. Use gear marking compound to paint all of the ring gear teeth. The images below illustrate both acceptable and unacceptable ring and pinion gear patterns.

Low contact pattern is concentrated in the root of the drive gear tooth. Proper ring gear to pinion gear contact pattern is critical for quiet and trouble free gear set operation. Ring and pinion gear pattern interpretation adjustment. Move the pinion deeper in towards the differential carrier add pinion shim.

When the pinion is too far in towards the ring gear the pattern is low toward the base of the gear teeth. Begin by setting proper pinion bearing preload total turning preload and ring gear backlash.
