Abstract
A housing for a bevel gear includes a pinion bearing seat configured to support a pinion bearing for a driveshaft having a drive pinion. The housing also includes an attachment structure configured to attach a support bearing seat to the housing such that the position of the support bearing seat with respect to the pinion bearing seat is variable in the radial direction.
Claims20
A housing for a bevel gear, comprising:
- a pinion bearing seat configured to support a pinion bearing for a driveshaft having a drive pinion;
- and
- an attachment structure is configured to attach a support bearing seat to the housing such that the position of the support bearing seat with respect to the pinion bearing seat is variable in the radial direction.
A method for assembling a bevel gear, comprising:
- mounting a support bearing on a driveshaft;
- attaching a pinion bearing to the driveshaft and to a housing so as to set an axial orientation of the driveshaft with respect to the housing;
- aligning the support bearing with respect to the driveshaft;
- and
- affixing the support bearing to the housing in the aligned position.

A bevel gear, comprising:
- a housing,
- a driveshaft having a drive pinion disposed between first and second ends of a cylindrical shaft,
- a pinion bearing rotatably supporting a first cylindrical portion of the driveshaft between the first end and the drive pinion, the pinion bearing being supported in a pinion bearing seat provided on the housing,
- a support bearing rotatably supporting a second cylindrical portion of the driveshaft between the second end and the drive pinion, the support bearing being supported in a support bearing seat, and
- a bearing shield configured to affix the support bearing seat to the housing such that the position of the support bearing seat relative to the pinion bearing seat is variable in a radial direction of the driveshaft prior to the affixation, and
- a crown gear meshing with the drive pinion.
