Sequence of Adjustment Operations

Sequence of adjustment operations
If the pinion shaft and crown wheel have to be adjusted, it is best to follow the sequence below in the interest of rational working:

1. Determine the total disc thickness S1 + S2.
2. Determine disc thickness S4 and S5.
3. Determine disc thickness S3.
4. Divide the total disc thickness into S1 and S2.
5. Check the circumferential backlash and set, if necessary.

Note:
^ The aim of the adjustment operations is to regain the position of maximum smooth running which was determined in production on a testing machine.
