Double taper roller bearing
A double taper roller bearing a is used to receive the thrust load of the pinion and stabilize the axial
free play of the drive shaft b. The drive shaft b is secured in the lower case using a ring nut c. As
a result, the axial free play is removed and the pinion position is secured.
Propeller shaft bearing (regular rotation model)
The propeller shaft is supported using 3 bearings to decrease the radial motion of the propeller
shaft. Because 2 bearings are taper roller bearings, axial free play also decreases.
