Each time holder rotates one tooth, backlash changes by 0.05 mm (0.0020 in).

3. TOOTH CONTACT OF HYPOID GEAR

1. Adjust until correct teeth contact is obtained.

2. Check tooth contact, and perform the adjustment as follows.

Correct tooth contact

Check item: Tooth contact surface is slightly shifted toward the toe side under a no-load condition. (When driving, it moves towards the heel side.)

(A)

Toe side

(B)

Heel side

Face contact

Check item: Backlash is too large.

Contact pattern

Corrective action: Reduce thickness of the pinion height adjusting washer in order to bring the drive pinion closer to the driven gear.

Flank contact

Check item: Backlash is too small.

Contact pattern

Adjustment: Increase the thickness of the pinion height adjusting washer according to the procedure for moving the drive pinion away from the driven gear.

Toe contact (inside contact)

Check item: Teeth contact area is too small.

Contact pattern

Corrective action: Increase the thickness of pinion height adjusting washer according to the procedure for bringing the drive pinion close to the driven gear.

Heel contact (outside end contact)

Check item: Teeth contact area is too small.

Contact pattern

Adjustment: Reduce the thickness of pinion height adjusting washer according to the procedure for bringing drive the pinion away from driven gear.
