8 SRP WITH MECHANICAL PRELOAD
8.1 Description
With SRP.R gearbox, it is possible to mechanically preload the two reducers to completely eliminate the
backlash in the system. This patented solution is called DualDRIVE.
In this configuration the 2 SRP;R are delivered with one motor flange (MF) and a mechanical preload kit
(PLD) consisting of:
- 1 locking tool
- 1 spacer
- 1 preloading coupling
- Shaft adapters (if needed)
- Shims
8.1.1 Locking tool
This tool will be used to preload the system. Refer to procedure in the following chapters to see how to
use it.
8.1.2 Spacer
The purpose of the spacer is to locate the preload coupling between the bevel gearbox shafts.
8.1.3 Coupling and shaft adapters
The shaft adapters are supplied when the coupling bore is bigger than the diameter of the bevel boxes
shafts. The groove of this adapter must be aligned with the coupling split bore.
8.1.4 Shims
The purpose of the shims is to adjust the parallelism of the bevel gearbox shafts (see next chapter). The
shim package is composed of:
2 shims 0.1mm thick + 1 shim 0.3mm thick + 2 shims 0.5mm thick (total shims thickness 1.5mm +/-
5mm).
