Proper Drive Pinion Gear Bearing Preload at Mike Belcher blog

Proper Drive Pinion Gear Bearing Preload. to maximize bearing life, maintain proper gear mesh and provide correct rigidity and stiffness, you should use preload on pinion and ring gear shafts. once the backlash and pinion depth meet tolerances, remove the carrier and establish the final pinion bearing preload. the four essential differential adjustments are pinion depth, pinion bearing preload, backlash and carrier bearing preload. The pinion nut is torqued to a specific value. One method involves using a dial indicator and measuring the rotational drag of the pinion gear, while another method involves using shims to adjust the play between the bearing and the pinion. not enough preload and your pinion is too floppy, which causes wear on the gears of the differential, premature. thankfully, it’s still possible to set the pinion bearing preload without a torque wrench. tapered roller bearings used to support pinion and differential gears in automotive drive axles perform best with. when a solid spacer and pinion nut are used, shims control pinion bearing preload.
