Another possible preloading method utilizes a bracket with an eccentric mounting slot pattern. Nexen offers a preloading mechanism that is easy to integrate into your application as shown in Figure 11. Spring loaded preloading mechanisms should not be used since the spring force required to counteract the separation forces are much higher than the allowed preloading force and would cause a reduction in pinion needle bearing life, and increase system noise.
MOUNTING SURFACE DETAILS Rotation .02 mm A The surface used to mount the RPG-B should be machined Tolerances Allowed In Roller Pinion Setup to a flatness of .050mm as shown to ensure proper Additional dimensional detail can be found in Nexen’s alignment.
