AFSTANDSORGAAN VOOR OVERBRENGINGSAS.

摘要

An improved spacer for a transmission gear shaft facilitates axial locations of pairs of gears 32, 34 or bearings 16, 18 along the shaft. In a preferred form the spacer comprises an open coil member 20 which defines a helicoidal body portion resiliently disposed between a pair of bearings. In addition to axially locating the bearings relative to one another, the helicoidal body portion facilitates the flow of splash and spray oil along the shaft between the bearings. In the same preferred form, the spacer is made of a non-heat treated high carbon spring steel.
