2 Overview and working principle of grader drive axle
2.1Overview and working principle of grader drive axle
The grader drive axle, a main component of the chassis transmission system, mostly plays a role in
increasing the torque transferred from the engine, and then distributing the changed torque to the left
and right drive wheels, thus providing the wheels on both sides with the differential function. Meanwhile,
the drive axles are also subjected to various forces coming from the road and the frame.
The rear drive assembly of the grader, a three-section drive axle, has a main drive axle equipped with a
no-spin differential, swinging balance box with an oscillating angle of ± 15°, a heavy-duty roller chain for
transmission, and the wheel drum brake. The final ratio is 3.7, the wheel reduction ratio is 3.26, the
balance box reduction ratio is 1.474, the total reduction ratio is 17.779, and the GL-5 85W-90 gear oil is
used for lubrication.
See Fig. 2-1 and Fig. 2-2 for the working principle and the structure of the drive axle respectively.

The transmission route of power is as follows:
2.2Final drive &differential assembly
The final drive assembly consists of main drive pair, differential and input flange. The differential, a no-
rotation differential, is also called no-spin differential, of which the working principle is that when the
vehicle runs along a non-straight line, the outer wheel will rotate at a speed higher than that of the inner
wheel under the dragging of the ground, at this time, the outer driven ring will disengage from the driving
ring, and produce a relative rotation with the driving ring, and the central ring will make a synchronous
rotation with the driving ring due to the limit from the inner driven ring meshing gear, resulting in a
relative movement between the central ring and the outer driven ring. In this case, the outer driven ring
gear will rise along the central ring gear surface until it disengages from the central ring and the driving
ring, causing rapid differential of the outer driven ring which is not driven by the driving ring but the
ground dragging. At this time, the moving ring attached with the outer driven ring will rise together with
the outer driven ring, of which the raised bump just rise to the central ring support plane, preventing the
outer driven ring and the driving ring gear from being engaged caused by the falling of the outer driven
ring due to the thrust of the conical spring. The moving ring not only maintains the separation state, but
also eliminates the friction loss and noise due to contact between the driving and driven ring gears and
the gear, in this case, the normal engagement between the inner driven ring and the driving ring occurs
to transmit normal torque. When the vehicle runs along a straight line, the ground dragging force driving
the outer driven ring to rotate will fast loss, so the driven ring will soon fall to be engaged with the driving
ring under the thrust of the conical spring, thereby restoring the driving ring drive for torque transmission.
When the wheels on one side are on the ice surface, water ground or off ground, the wheels on the other
7
side still transmit 100% original torque, thus ensuring that the grader has excellent off-road performance.
Such conversions, performance guarantees are done automatically, and no driver’s manipulation is
required, so it has a better performance than ordinary bevel gear differential. The structure is shown in
Fig. 2-3.

2.4Balance box assembly
The G9190grader is equipped with drum brake balance boxes, swinging balance boxes driven by the
front and rear heavy chains in series, on both sides of the rear frame respectively, and the boxes are
supported to the supporting device housing of the rear axle by copper bush in the middle of the box,
laterally positioned by double row spherical roller bearings on the outer surface of the cover panel, with a
forward and backward swinging angle of 15°. This grader not only features good off-road performance,
but also can improve the road surface evenness accuracy. The sprocket shaft has a simply supported
beam structure with good support rigidity, so it is able to meet different application requirements for the
grader. The structure is shown in Fig. 2-5.
In the balance box, the double-chain sprocket transfers the power to the front/rear drive sprocket through
the roller chain, and then to all wheels through the front/rear sprocket to achieve forward and backward
running of the grader. The roller chain can be tensioned and adjusted by rotating the eccentric bearing
seat.(See “Operation, Maintenance and Repair of Drive Axle” for the adjustment method)

spiral bevel gear surface, and be pressed to the edge
gear surface. Before each measurement, move the
pointer for 3 - 4 times, if the readings are all the same,
do the measurement. While shaking the driven spiral
bevel gear, make sure that the driving spiral bevel
gear is motionless to prevent the error. Measure at
three points at least, if all the results meet the
requirements, do the subsequent installation.
Otherwise, adjust the backlash.
3. Adjust the backlash between the driving spiral
bevel gear and the driven spiral bevel gear to
0.3 - 0.4 mm.
If the backlash between the driving spiral bevel
gear and the driven spiral bevel gear is not within
0.3 - 0.4 mm, adjust the backlash until it meets the
requirement.
1 Adjustment method: Screw the slotted nuts in two

Fig. 3-60
1. Slotted nut sides to change the backlash between the driving
spiral bevel gear and the driven spiral bevel gear
by making the driven spiral bevel gear move from
or get close to the driving spiral bevel gear.
CAUTION
To keep the preload for the adjusted bearing
unchanged, the screw-in number of turns for the
adjusting nuts at one end should equal to those for
the nuts at the other end. After the adjustment,
measure the backlash between the driving spiral
bevel gear and the driven spiral bevel gear again
until it meets the requirements. Otherwise, go on to
32
adjust the backlash.
4. Measure the meshing area of the driving spiral
bevel gear and the driven spiral bevel gear
surfaces.
Measurement method: Apply red pigment (red
lead powder etc.) to the driven spiral bevel gear
(apply to three gears in general) and rotate the
driven spiral bevel gear manually to check for the
contact mark.
1 CAUTION
Fig. 3-61
1. Driven spiral bevel gear The meshing area should be close to the small end
in the tooth length direction, and the meshing mark
should be no smaller than 1/2 tooth length and it
should be located at the middle of the tooth height.
If the requirements are not met, adjust the meshing
area.
5. Adjust the meshing area for the driving spiral
bevel gear and the driven spiral bevel gear
surfaces.
Adjustment method: (a) When the meshing mark
is close to the large end or small end of the gear,
move the driven spiral bevel gear in the axial
direction. If the gear backlash changes, adjust the
installation position of the driving spiral bevel gear
in the axial direction.
33
(b) When the meshing mark is close to the top or
root of the gear, move the driving spiral bevel gear in
the axial direction. If the gear backlash changes,
adjust the installation position of the driven spiral
bevel gear in the axial direction.
(c) After the adjustment, measure the backlash
between the driving spiral bevel gear and the
driven spiral bevel gear again as step 2 until the
requirements are met.
CAUTION
The position of the driving spiral bevel gear can be
changed by changing the thickness of the adjusting
gasket.
The position of the driven spiral bevel gear can be
changed by moving the slotted nuts. To prevent the
tightness of the tapered roller bearing at both ends
of the differential housing from being damaged, the
release number of turns for the slotted nuts at one
end should equal to the screw-in number of turns
for the slotted nuts at the other end.

4. Operation, maintenance and repair of drive axle
The normal functions of parts of the drive axle in use greatly depend on its reasonable operation,
maintenance and repair. To realize the proper operation, regular maintenance and simple repair by the
user, keep products in good technical conditions, extend their service life and provide better product
functions, hereby, we provide some basic knowledge for reference.
4.1Connection of rim and axle
The M22x1.5 nuts with a tightening torque of 700 ~ 800N•m are adopted for the rim. When tightening a
set of rim nuts, pay attention to conducting the tightening in a symmetrical and uniform manner. In
normal operation, you should always check if the nuts are loose, and tighten them timely if necessary.
When using a spherical rim nut, check if the nut spherical surface matches with the rim, you should
ensure that they are fit for each other to make the secure connection.
4.2Lubrication
4.2.1 Types of lubricating oil GL-5 85W/90 Gear oil
4.2.2 Parts to be lubricated and filling amount
For the final drive and wheel reducer assembly, the part to be lubricated is located at the upper position
of the final drive, with an independent filler pipe, and the oil level holes on both sides of the left/right
balance box assembly are filler holes respectively. When filling, you should make sure that the axle is in
a horizontal position.
The recommended filling amount for the final drive and wheel reducer assembly is about 28L and for the
individual balance box assembly is about 23L.
When conducting the on-site repair, you can take the oil level orifice lower generating line in the axle as a
benchmark to control the filling amount. A small amount of oil is allowed to overflow, and the lower oil
level shall be 8 mm below the oil level orifice lower generating line.
4.2.3The joints of balance box assembly and the planetary gear reducer assembly, and the
lubricating nipples of the balance box assembly shall be greased.
4.3Operation and maintenance
49
4.3.1 Clean the oil dirt, mud and dust, especially for the breather plug to keep it smooth on a regular
basis. Check if the connecting parts are tightened, especially the final drive and wheel reducer and the
rim bolts, etc., and tighten them timely if necessary.
4.3.2Regularly check for oil leakage, if any, conduct the repair and troubleshooting timely. Check
lubricating oil level in the final drive and wheel reducer and the left/right balance box, if below the
specified level, promptly add oil to the level required to ensure proper operation. The first oil change shall
be done in the first month or after the initial running of 100 h; and the periodic oil change shall be done
every six months orevery1,000 h.
4.3.3The joints of the balance box assembly and the wheel reducer assembly, and the lubricating
nipples of the balance box assembly shall be greased every three months.
4.4Precautions for repair
4.4.1When removing and refitting the final drive assembly, you are required to check the
engagement area of gears by painting. The engagement area is required to be near the small end in the
longitudinal direction of the teeth, with the engaging prints≥ 1/2tooth length and located in the middle of
the tooth height.

Make the driving spiral bevel gear

move away from the driven spiral
bevel gear. If backlash thus
becomes too large, move the driven
spiral bevel gear inward.
4.4.2 The combination mode of “slotted nut&fastening bolt” is adopted for looseness prevention of
the wheel reducer assembly.
When refitting, the double-chain sprocket shall freely rotate by repairing and adjusting the adjusting ring,
ensuring the axial gap between the bearing and the wheel reducer housing being0.05 ~ 0.15mm, and
tightening the slotted nut to500 ~ 600N•m.Then install the fastening bolts and alternately and evenly
tighten two fastening bolts to 60 ~ 70N•m.Note:the fastening bolts shall not be higher than double-chain
sprocket end face.
4.4.3When replacing the needle roller in the wheel reducer planetary gear, you shall group all the
optional needle rollers, so the diameter difference of the needle rollers in the same group shall not be
greater than0.005 mm; the needle roller cylindricity shall be 0.003 mm; and the radial clearance between
the needle roller, gear inner hole and planetary gear shaft shall be0.015 ~ 0.030 mm.
4.4.4 After repairing the wheel reducer or replacing the axle shaft, ensure that the clearance
between the adjusting strut and the baffle plate is 1-2 mm.
4.4.5The brake works with a rated working pressure of 10 Mpa, max. working pressure of 15 Mpa
and being filled with mineral oil.
4.4.6After100h operation of the grader axle, do the first inspection for the chain tension, and tension
it if necessary; do the periodic inspection every 500h to check the tension of the chain, and tension it if
necessary.
(1) Check chain tension
Remove the two cover plates of the balance box, and support the balance box to make the wheel off
ground. If the chain slack of the loosened side is greater than 18 mm, re-tension the chain.
(2) Re-tensioning procedures for chain:
a. Support the balance box to make the wheel off ground and drain oil;
b. Remove the wheel, brake drum, brake shoe and other components;
c. Remove the bolts for the connecting plate and the eccentric bearing seat;
51
d. Rotate the connecting plate and the eccentric bearing seat for same hole pitch in the same
direction until the chain slack reaches 11.5 mm.
Note: before removing the connecting plate and the eccentric bearing seat, make a mark at the original
position, so that the adjusted positions consistent with the original position. After the adjustment is
completed, install the removed bolts in proper order.
4.4.7During maintenance, use solvent to clean the parts applied with sealant. After drying, apply the
598 plane sealant with a thickness of about 1mm; clean the bolt and apply 262 thread sealant onto the
threaded end after drying, and tighten it to the required tightening torque.
4.4.8 All seals shall be replaced after being removed, and no reuse is allowed.
4.4.9 Check the brake lining thickness through the sight glass of the brake, and replace the brake
shoe if the lining wear reaches 3 mm.
