Backlash and Tooth Contact between Bevel Pinion Shaft and
Bevel Gear
1. Set a dial indicator (lever type) with its finger on the tooth
surface.
2. Measure the backlash by fixing the bevel pinion shaft (2) and
moving the bevel gear (1) by hand.
3. Calculate the backlash from the ratio of the shaft diameter to the
gear diameter. (Backlash = Play × 2.7)
4. If the backlash exceeds the allowable limit, adjust with the shim
(4).
5. Adjust the backlash properly by repeating the above
procedures.
6. Apply red lead lightly over several teeth at three positions
equally spaced on the bevel gear (1).
7. Turn the bevel pinion shaft (2), against the periphery of the
bevel gear.
8. Check the tooth contact. If not proper, adjust according to the
instructions shown in the figure.

• Thickness of adjusting shims (4) :
0.7 mm (0.028 in.) [Code No.: 3A151-32180]
0.8 mm (0.032 in.) [Code No.: 3A151-32130]

2.3 mm (0.091 in.) [Code No.: 3A151-32170]
• Standard size of shim (3) : 0.5 mm (0.020 in.)
Standard size of shim (4) : 1.2 mm (0.047 in.)
• Backlash changes per 0.1 mm (0.004 in.) shim :
Approx. 0.05 mm (0.002 in.)
IMPORTANT
• Adjust the tooth contact with shims (3) and (4) so that the
spiral bevel pinion shaft may not contact with the
differential case.
