(2) Backlash and Tooth Contact (Except ITA Model)
Backlash and Tooth Contact between Spiral Bevel Gear and
Spiral Bevel Pinion Shaft
1. Set the dial indictor (lever type) with its finger on the tooth
surface.
2. Measure the backlash by fixing the spiral bevel pinion shaft (1)
and moving the spiral bevel gear (3) by hand.
3. When the backlash is too large, increase the thickness of shims
(4).
When the backlash is too small, decrease the thickness of
shims (4).
4. Adjust the backlash properly by repeating the above procedure.
5. Apply red lead lightly over several teeth at three positions
equally spaced on the spiral bevel gear.
6. Turn the spiral bevel pinion shaft, while pressing a wooden
piece against the periphery on the spiral bevel gear.
7. Check the tooth contact. If not proper, adjust according to the
instructions next page.
