PINION BEARING SET SCREW

$3.90

Description

Purpose: The primary function of a pinion bearing set screw is to securely fasten the pinion bearing onto the pinion shaft, ensuring proper alignment and smooth operation of the gear assembly.
Material Composition: Pinion bearing set screws are typically made from durable materials such as stainless steel, alloy steel, or hardened steel, chosen for their strength and resistance to corrosion and wear.
Design: The set screw features a threaded shaft with a pointed or flat tip and a hexagonal or slotted head for tightening using a wrench or screwdriver. The threaded portion of the screw engages with the threaded hole in the pinion shaft, securing the bearing in place.
Installation: During assembly, the pinion bearing set screw is inserted into the threaded hole on the pinion shaft and tightened to the specified torque using the appropriate tools. Proper installation ensures the bearing is securely held in position.
Maintenance: Regular inspection of the set screw and its tightness is important to ensure it remains securely fastened. Loose or damaged set screws should be promptly tightened or replaced to prevent potential damage to the gear assembly.
