Re: Help: Bevel Gear Mounted On CIM Shaft?
Sort of....but car ring and pinion gears need to last a couple hundred thousand miles/10 years or more, and transmit a lot of power. They use a pair of tapered roller bearings to support the pinion, and the pinion gear and shaft are one piece. The bearings are installed with preload rather than having end play.
