METHOD FOR MOUNTING A MASS DIFFERENTIAL GEAR ONTO A CRANK HOUSING OF AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE COMPRISING A CRANKSHAFT

摘要

The invention relates to a method for mounting, in a simple manner, a mass differential gear (4) onto a crank housing (1) of an internal combustion engine. An intermediate gearwheel (9), which can be pivoted about an axis, is arranged between the crankshaft gearwheel (10) and the subsequent drive gearwheel (7), said axis being located on the connection line of the axis of the intermediate gearwheel (9) and the drive gearwheel (7) driven thereby. After fixing the housing (5) of the mass differential gear (4), the intermediate gearwheel (9) is rotated about the axis until zero play is reached between the intermediate gearwheel (9) and the crankshaft gearwheel (10). The measuring distance between the housing (5) and the contact surface (3) is measured at zero play and the measuring distance necessary for achieving the desired flank play is determined between the intermediate gearwheel (9) and the crankshaft gearwheel (10), and an intermediate layer (15) corresponding to the measuring distance is introduced between the housing (5) and the contact surface (3) whereon the intermediate gearwheel (9) is fixed.
