<p>ASSEMBLY WITH IMPROVED BEVEL GEAR ALIGNMENT A bevel gear drive includes a housing having at least a first and second opening. An end cap is fixably mounted in each of the respective openings, sealing between the end caps and the housing being provided by O-rings. A first shaft is rotatably mounted in one of said end caps in a fixed longitudinal position. A driving bevel gear is drivenly mounted around the first shaft in specific location relative to the centerline of the second opening, the location of the driving bevel gear being specifically located by the thickness of a shim adjacent to the base of the bevel gear. A second shaft is rotatably mounted at one location in a bearing seated in the housing. A driven bevel gear is drivenly mounted to the second shaft and is axially located by a second shim between the bearing and base of the driven gear. The specific location of the driven gear relative to the first opening is determined by a shim thickness. The second shaft is also rotatably supported at a second location and the support includes means of maintaining the longitudinal placement of the driven gear.</p> |
