Short Heel Contact Setting
c.
If bevel pinion shaft is too far away from bevel
gear, short toe contact will be the result as shown.
The teeth of pinion will be in contact with toe ends
of convex faces (part that makes a curve toward
the outside), and top edge of heel end of concave
faces (part that makes a curve toward the inside).
To correct this, add shims under pinion bearing
cup. After this is done, check gear clearance
(backlash) and tooth contact again.
d.
If bevel pinion shaft is too near to center of bevel
gear, short heel contact will be the result as
shown. The teeth of pinion will be in contact with
the toe ends of concave faces (part that makes a
curve toward the inside) and the heel ends of
convex faces (part that makes a curve toward the
outside). To correct this, remove shims from under
pinion bearing cup. After this is done, check gear
clearance (backlash)and tooth contact again.
NOTE:
Several adjustments of both pinion and bevel
gear can be needed before correct tooth contact and
gear clearance (backlash) is made. Always
remember that a change to gear clearance
(backlash) will also change the tooth contact.
Therefore, be sure gear clearance (backlash) is in
correct adjustment before tooth contact is checked.
e.
After gear clearance (backlash) and tooth contact
are correct, remove extra Prussian blue, red lead
or paint from bevel gear and pinion.
