during forward movement)
3 Wide tooth side

Problem
Tooth contact pattern resulting from exces-
sive pinion height
Solution
3
The drive pinion is positioned too far from the
center of the drive gear.
3
the thickness of the pinion height adjusting
shim, and position the drive pinion closer to the
center of the drive gear.
for backlash adjustment, position the drive
gear farther from the drive pinion.
contact pattern resulting from
pinion height
3
drive pinion is positioned too close to the center
the drive gear.
3
Decrease the thickness of the pinion height
ing shim, and position the drive pinion farther from
the center of the drive gear.
Also, for backlash adjustment, position the drive
gear closer to the drive pinion.
NOTE
Tooth contact pattern is a method for judging the result of the adjustment of drive pinion height and final drive gear
backlash. The adjustment of drive pinion hight and final drive gear backlash should be repeated until tooth contact
patterns bear a similarity to the standard tooth contact pattern.
When adjustment is not able to obtain a correct pattern, it may be judged that the drive gear and drive pinion have
exceed their usage limits and both gears should be replaced as a set.
