ABSTRACT
A newly developed roller in the needle roller and cage
assembly has a special heat treatment and special sur-face modifications. A newly developed shaft, where theouter surface acts as the inner raceway for the rollers,also has an unique heat treatment.
The life comparison test results show that the combina-
tion of the new rollers and new shaft has an approxi-mately 3.0 times longer life than the conventionalproduct.
In the bench test, the new rollers and new shafts are
installed in an actual planetary type transmission of aconstruction vehicle. The bench test shows 2.9 timeslonger life. After the bench test, both the new rollers andnew shafts show no sign of damage.
INTRODUCTION
Fig.1 is an illustration of a planet gear support structure.Between the planet gear and the planet carrier shaft, abearing is usually put so that the planet gear must besupported on the planet carrier shaft as rotationally free.In transmissions of construction vehicles, a needle rollerand cage assembly is used in this portion.
