Adjustment of the shaft play in the reducer
Thread Content
I have a question for everyone: how is the shaft play between the high-speed shaft and the low-speed shaft of this type of reducer adjusted, and what is the typical amount of shaft play? What kind of fit is there between the outer ring of the bearing and the end cover of the reducer?
What setting is generally used for this type of bearing?
This is a helical gear; theoretically, the axial displacement should be relatively large, but it is limited by the bearing clearance. As for the fit between the end cover and the outer ring, it’s best to consult the manufacturer. Generally, pumps have a clearance of 0.02–0.06 reserved, but it’s unclear what the situation is for gearboxes
