TIMING CASE AND DRIVE ASSEMBLY 15
Idler gear and hub for the Bendix
compressor
The latest compressor is made by Bendix and is
driven directly from the engine timing case and
does not have an auxiliary drive assembly. The
engine idler gear (A12) drives the compressor gear
(A4) through a separate idler gear (A11/B5) fitted
onto a hub (A9). The hub is fastened to the back of
the timing case (A5) by a bracket (A3).
The idler gear is fitted on a needle roller bearing
(A7) which is fitted onto the hub. The hub has an
"O" ring (A1) to prevent oil leakage from the rear of
the timing case. The roller bearing and the idler
gear are retained on the hub by a plate (A10) which
is fastened to the idler hub.
