Checking crownwheel and pinion tooth contact

Last Updated on Tue, 25 Jul 2023 | Vehicle Technology

Prepare crownwheel for examining tooth contact marks (Fig. 7.8) After setting the correct backlash, the crownwheel and pinion tooth
alignment should be checked for optimum contact. This may be achieved by applying a marking cream such as Prussian blue, red lead,
chrome yellow, red or yellow ochre etc. to three evenly spaced groups of about six teeth round the crownwheel on both drive coast sides
of the teeth pro�les. Apply a load to the meshing gears by holding the crownwheel and allowing it to slip round while the pinion is turned a
few revolutions in both directions to secure a good impression around the crownwheel. Examine the tooth contact pattern and compare it
to the recommended impression.

Understanding tooth contact marks (Fig. 7.8(a-f)) If the crownwheel to pinion tooth contact pattern is incorrect, there are two adjustments
that can be made to change the position of tooth contact. These adjustments are of backlash and pinion depth.

The adjustment of backlash moves the contact patch lengthwise back and forth between the toe heel of the tooth. Moving the
crownwheel nearer the pinion decreases the backlash, causing the contact patch to shift towards the toe portion of the tooth. Increasing
backlash requires the crownwheel to be moved sideways and away from the pinion. This moves the contact patch nearer the heel portion
of the tooth.

When adjusting pinion depth, the contact patch moves up and down the face-�ank pro�le of the tooth. With insu�cient pinion depth
(pinion too far out from crownwheel) the contact patch will be concentrated at the top (face zone) of the tooth. Conversely, too much
pinion depth (pinion too near crownwheel) will move the contact patch to the lower root (�ank zone) of the tooth.

Ideal tooth contact (Fig. 7.8(b)) The area of tooth contact should be evenly distributed over the working depth of the tooth pro�le and
should be nearer to the toe than the heel of the crownwheel tooth. The setting of the tooth contact is initially slightly away from the heel
and nearer the root to compensate for any de�ection of the bearings,crownwheel, pinion and �nal drive housing under operating load
conditions, so that the pressure contact area will tend to spread towards the heel towards a more central position.

(b) Correct tooth contact

Crownwheel tooth contact markings

Heavy face (high) tooth contact (Fig. 7.8(c)) Tooth contact area is above the centre line and on the face of the tooth pro�le due to the
pinion being too far away from the crownwheel (insu�cient pinion depth). To rectify this condition, move the pinion deeper into mesh by
using a thicker pinion head washer to lower the contact area and reset the backlash.

Heavy �ank (low) tooth contact (Fig. 7.8(d)) Tooth contact area is below the centre line and on the �ank of the tooth pro�le due to the

pinion being too far in mesh with the crownwheel (too much pinion depth). To rectify this condition, move the pinion away from the
crownwheel using a thinner washer between the pinion head and inner bearing cone to raise the contact area and then reset the backlash.

Heavy toe contact (Fig. 7.8(e)) Tooth contact area is concentrated at the small end of the tooth (near the toe). To rectify this misalignment,
increase backlash by moving the crownwheel and differential assembly away from the pinion, by transferring shims from the crownwheel
side of the differential assembly to the opposite side, or slacken the adjusting nut on the crownwheel side of the differential and screw in
the nut on the opposite side an equal amount. If the backlash is increased above the maximum speci�ed, use a thicker washer (shim)
behind the pinion head in order to keep the backlash within the correct limits.

Heavy heel contact (Fig. 7.8(f)) Tooth contact area is concentrated at the large end of the tooth which is near the heel. To rectify this
misalignment, decrease backlash by moving the crownwheel nearer

the pinion (add shims to the crownwheel side of the differential and remove an equal thickness of shims from the opposite side) or
slacken the differential side adjusting nut and tighten the crownwheel side nut an equal amount. If the backlash is reduced below the
minimum speci�ed, use a thinner washer (shim) behind the pinion head.

Final drive axle noise and defects

Noise is produced with all types of meshing gear teeth such as from spur, straight or helical gears and even more so with bevel gears
where the output is redirected at right angles to the input drive.

Vehicle noises coming from tyres, transmission, propellor shafts, universal joints and front or rear wheel bearings are often mistaken for
axle noise, especially tyre to road surface rumbles which can sound very similar to abnormal axle noise. Listening for the noise at varying
speeds and road surfaces, on drive and overrun conditions will assist in locating the source of any abnormal sound.

Once all other causes of noise have been eliminated, axle noise may be suspected. The source of axle noise can be divided into gear teeth
noises and bearing noise.

Gear noise Gear noise may be divided into two kinds:

1 Broken, bent or forcibly damaged gear teeth which produce an abnormal audible sound which is easily recognised over the whole speed
range.

a) Broken or damaged teeth may be due to abnormally high shock loading causing sudden tooth failure.

b) Extended overloading of both crownwheel and pinion teeth can be responsible for eventual fatigue failure.

c) Gear teeth scoring may eventually lead to tooth pro�le damage. The causes of surface scoring can be due to the following:

i) Insu�cient lubrication or incorrect grade of oil

ii) Insu�cient care whilst running in a new �nal drive

iii) Insu�cient crownwheel and pinion backlash

iv) Distorted differential housing

v) Crownwheel and pinion misalignment

vi) Loose pinion nut removing the pinion bearing preload.

Incorrect meshing of crownwheel and pinion teeth

Abnormal noises produced by poorly meshed teeth generate a very pronounced cyclic pitch whine in the speed range at which it occurs
whilst the vehicle is operating on either drive or overrun conditions.

Noise on drive If a harsh cyclic pitch noise is heard when the engine is driving the transmission it indicates that the pinion needs to be
moved slightly out of mesh.

Noise on overrun If a pronounced humming noise is heard when the vehicle's transmission overruns the engine, this indicates that the
pinion needs to be moved further into mesh.

Slackness in the drive A pronounced time lag in taking the drive up accompanied by a knock when either accelerating or decelerating may
be traced to end play in the pinion assembly due possibly to defective bearings or incorrectly set up bearing spacer and shim pack.

Bearing noise Bearings which are defective produce a rough growling sound that is approximately constant in volume over a narrow speed
range. Driving the vehicle on a smooth road and listening for rough transmission sounds is the best method of identifying bearing failure.

A distinction between defective pinion bearings or differential cage bearings can be made by listening for any constant rough sound. A
fast frequency growl indicates a failed pinion bearing, while a much slower repetition growl points to a defective differential bearing. The
difference in sound is because the pinion revolves at about four times the speed of the differential assembly.

To distinguish between differential bearing and half shaft bearing defects, drive the vehicle on a smooth road and turn the steering sharply
right and left. If the half shaft bearings are at fault, the increased axle load imposed on the bearing will cause a rise in the noise level,

conversely if there is no change in the abnormal rough sound the differential bearings should be suspect.

Defective differential planet and sun gears

The sun and planet gears of the differential unit very rarely develop faults. When differential failure does occur, it is usually caused by
shock loading, extended overloading and seizure of the differential planet gears to the cross-shaft resulting from excessive wheel spin and
consequently lubrication breakdown.

A roughness in the �nal drive transmission when the vehicle is cornering may indicate defective planet/sun gears.

Differential locks

A differential lock is desirable, and in some cases essential, if the vehicle is going to operate on low traction surfaces such as sand, mud,
wet or waterlogged ground, worn slippery roads, ice bound roads etc. at relatively low speeds.

Drive axle differential locks are incorporated on heavy duty on/off highway and cross-country vehicles to provide a positive drive between
axle half shafts when poor tyre to ground traction on one wheel would produce wheel spin through differential bevel gear action.

The differential lock has to be engaged manually by cable or compressed air, whereas the limited slip or viscous coupling differential
automatically operates as conditions demand.

All differential locks are designed to lock together two or more parts of the differential gear cluster by engaging adjacent sets of dog clutch
teeth. By this method, all available power transmitted to the �nal drive will be supplied to the wheels. Even if one wheel loses grip, the
opposite wheel will still receive power enabling it to produce torque and therefore tractive effect up to the limit of the tyres' ability to grip
the road. Axle wind-up will be dissipated by wheel bounce, slippage or scu�ng.

These unwanted reactions will occur when travelling over slippery soft or rough ground where true rolling will be di�cult. Since the tyre
tread cannot exactly follow the contour of the surface it is rolling over, for very brief periodic intervals there will be very little tyre to ground
adhesion. As a result, any build up of torsional strain between the half shafts will be continuously released.

Differential lock mechanism

One example of a differential lock is shown in Fig. 7.9. In this layout a hardened and toughened �anged side toothed dog clutch member is
clamped and secured by dowls between the crownwheel and differential cage �anges. The other dog clutch member is comprised of a
sleeve internally splined to slot over the extended splines on one half shaft. This sleeve has dog teeth cut at one end and the double �ange
formed at the end to provide a guide groove for the actuating fork arm.

Engagement of the differential lock is obtained when the sleeve sliding on the extended external splines of the half shaft is pushed in to
mesh with corresponding dog teeth formed on the �anged member mounted on the crownwheel and cage. Locking one half shaft to the
differential cage prevents the bevel gears from revolving independently within the cage. Therefore, the half shafts and cage

member dog clutch

Differential lock mechanism with air control

will be compelled to revolve with the �nal drive crownwheel as one. The lock should be applied when the vehicle is just in motion to enable
the tooth to align, but not so fast as to cause the crashing of misaligned teeth. The engagement of the lock can be by cable, vacuum or
compressed air, depending on the type of vehicle using the facility. An alternative differential lock arrangement is shown in Fig. 7.10 where
the lock is actuated by compressed air operating on an annulus shaped piston positioned over one half shaft. When air pressure is
supplied to the cylinder, the piston is pushed outwards so that the sliding dog clutch member teeth engage the �xed dog clutch member
teeth, thereby locking out the differential gear action.

When the differential lock is engaged, the vehicle should not be driven fast on good road surfaces to prevent excessive tyre scrub and
wear. With no differential action, relative speed differences between inner and outer drive wheels can only partially be compensated by the
tyre tread having su�cient time to distort and give way in the form of minute hops or by permitting the tread to skid or bounce while rolling
in slippery or rough ground conditions.

Checking crownwheel and pinion tooth contact - Vehicle Technology https://www.beyonddiscovery.org/vehicle-technology/716-checking-crownwheel-and-pinion-tooth-c...

When a crown wheel (also known as a ring gear) stops working in the differential, several problems can arise.
1. Loss of power transmission: The crown wheel and pinion gear mesh together to transfer torque from the engine to the wheels. If the crown wheel stops
working, the power �ow to the wheels will be interrupted, resulting in a loss of power transmission. This can cause the vehicle to lose propulsion and come to a
halt.
2. Noisiness: A defective crown wheel can cause excessive noise, such as grinding or whining sounds, during operation. This noise is typically caused by the
misalignment or incorrect meshing of the crown wheel and pinion gear.
3. Gear slippage: If the crown wheel is not functioning correctly, it may lead to gear slippage, where the teeth of the crown wheel and pinion gear do not engage
properly. This can cause jerking or shuddering sensations when driving, especially during acceleration or deceleration.
4. Differential lock-up: In some cases, a malfunctioning crown wheel can cause the differential to lock up or seize. This means that the wheels will not rotate
freely, leading to di�culties in steering and potential damage to other drivetrain components.
5. Increased wear and tear: When the crown wheel stops working properly, it may cause increased wear on other differential components, such as the pinion gear,
axle shafts, and bearings. This can lead to further damage and costly repairs if not addressed promptly.
If you suspect a problem with the crown wheel in the differential, it is advisable to have the vehicle inspected and repaired by a quali�ed mechanic. Driving with
a faulty crown wheel can be dangerous and can cause further damage to the drivetrain.

It is critical to have a crown wheel and pinion backlash in a differential unit because it allows a small amount of movement between the gear teeth when turning,
which prevents the gear teeth from binding together and locking up the differential. This greatly reduces wear and prevents damage to the gear teeth and

Adjusting a differential crown wheel requires that you �rst determine what type of differential you have, whether it is an open differential or a limited-slip differential.
For an open differential, the crown wheel will already be pre-set to the manufacturer's speci�cations, so no further adjustments are necessary. For a limited-slip
differential, you will need to make some adjustments depending on the intended application. The crown wheel must be adjusted to allow some slip while also
providing good traction. Generally speaking, the crown wheel should be adjusted to reduce the amount of slip by increasing the preload on the clutch discs.
Adjusting the crown wheel on a limited-slip differential typically involves removing the differential cover and inspecting the clutch discs for wear or damage. If
necessary, the discs can be replaced and the crown wheel can then be adjusted by adjusting the pre-load on the clutch assemblies. Once the adjustments are
complete, the differential cover can be reinstalled and the vehicle can be tested.

Pressure should then be applied in both directions until no further axial movement is registered. The reading on the dial should be recorded and compared to the
manufacturer's recommended end play.

Why should you replace both pinion and crown wheel?

1 year ago Reply

Replacing both pinion and crown wheel is important to ensure smooth, reliable and consistent operation of the vehicle. The pinion and crown wheel mesh together
to provide the necessary gear reduction and transmission of power from the engine to the wheels. If either of these components become worn or damaged, it can
create excessive wear on the other component, resulting in problems with the gear ratios, which can lead to transmission failure. Replacing both components
together is necessary to prevent this from occurring.

Backlash of the crown pinion is the difference between the tight and loose points in the drive. To measure the backlash accurately, an adjustable dial indicator
mounted in a magnetic base is placed in contact with the ring gear. The pinion is rocked in both directions and the amount of movement is read off the dial
indicator. The difference between the highest and lowest arcs on the dial is the backlash.

3. Make sure that all mating surfaces are �at and free from wear. If there is any wear, replace the worn parts.
4. Use high-quality bearings and seals. Low-quality bearings can wear quickly, resulting in increased backlash.
5. Increase the preload on the bearings. This can be done by adding a shim under the bearing spacers, or by tightening the adjustment bolts slightly.
�. Use a locking compound or thread locker on threads that are prone to loosening under vibration.
7. Use a spacer to increase the separation between the mating surfaces if possible. Increasing the separation will reduce the amount of backlash in the system.

How to test for backlash in a defferential unit and what can u use?

1 year ago Reply

Backlash in a differential unit can be tested by measuring the axial clearance of the pinion shafts. To measure the axial clearance, a dial indicator can be used with
a plunger �xture attached to the differential housing. The plunger should be positioned at the center of the pinion bearing's inner race and the indicator shaft
should be placed perpendicular to the differential housing. The plunger should then be moved in a clockwise and counterclockwise direction to measure the axial
clearance. The clearance should be recorded and compared to the manufacturer's speci�cations. If the clearance is outside the speci�ed range, then the
differential unit has excessive backlash that needs to be addressed.

To test the tooth contact in a differential unit, you will need to remove the differential from the vehicle and disassemble it. Once it is disassembled, inspect the teeth
to see if there is any visible wear or damage. If not, place the differential onto a bench vise, allowing the teeth to move freely, and check the contact pattern of the
teeth using a thin coat of graphite powder. Move the teeth in both directions and observe the pattern of the graphite powder. If the pattern is even, then the
differential has good contact and is in good condition. If there are any irregularities in the pattern, then the differential needs to be serviced or replaced.

Why crown pinion backlash is to be check at 4 points?

1 year ago Reply

The crown pinion backlash is the radial play between the crown wheel and pinion. It is important to check the crown pinion backlash at four points in order to
ensure that the backlash is uniform and evenly distributed. This is because if the backlash is inconsistent between points, it can cause interference between the
teeth which could lead to accelerated wear, noise, and vibration. It is also important to check it at four points so that if the backlash has been adjusted and is still
not suitable, further adjustment can be made to achieve an even backlash around the entire circumference of the assembly.

How to measure backlash between pinion and crown wheel?

1 year ago Reply

1. Secure the pinion and crown wheel in a vice or �xture to ensure that they do not move.
2. Rotate the pinion and measure the distance required to turn the pinion in one direction until the crown wheel starts to move. This is the axial backlash at the
pitch line of the gear teeth.
3. Reverse the direction of the pinion and measure the distance required to turn the pinion back until the crown wheel starts to move. Compare this to the original
measurement. The difference between the two measurements is the axial backlash of the gearset.
4. Repeat the measurement in four more places along the pinion, each 90 degrees from the other. This will give an average axial backlash for the gearset.
5. Measure the radial backlash by rotating the pinion again and noting the position of the pitch line in relation to the centerline of the gearset. The distance
between the pitch line and the centerline is the radial backlash. Again, repeat this measurement at four other locations around the pinion for an average result.

The differences between crown and pinion damage due to contact pattern can be attributed to the differences in their design and purpose. The crown gear is
typically used to transmit power from one gear to another, while the pinion gear is used to change the direction of the torque and rotate the shaft at a different
speed. Therefore, contact patterns between the two gears can differ due to the different forces exerted on them during operation. Moreover, the pro�le of the
contact pattern can provide information about the alignment of the pinion gear and the crown gear. If the contact pattern is not acceptable, then it indicates that
the crown gear and pinion gear are not properly aligned and need to be adjusted.
