Ring And Pinion Wear Pattern

The images below illustrate both acceptable and unacceptable ring and pinion gear patterns.

Ring and pinion wear pattern.

Ring gear and pinion tooth pattern interpretation the final pinion position will be verified by using the gear contact pattern method described as follows. Proper ring gear to pinion gear contact pattern is critical for quiet and trouble free gear set operation. Moving the ring gear away from the pinion increases backlash and causes the pattern to move out toward the heel of the ring gear. For more in depth information about ring and pinion gear patterns and how.

Ring and pinion gear pattern interpretation adjustment. Begin by setting proper pinion bearing preload total turning preload and ring gear backlash. Use gear marking compound to paint all of the ring gear teeth. The heel of the gear tooth is the portion of.

The ring gear is too far in toward the pinion. This pattern indicates excessive pinion depth. Ring and pinion gear pattern is one of the most valuable tools for determining if a differential is properly set up. When the pinion is too far in towards the ring gear the pattern is low toward the base of the gear teeth.

Move the pinion deeper in towards the differential carrier add pinion shim. Load the ring gear and run a full contact pattern check.
