When correcting a pinion to crown gear tooth contact pattern that is too close to the top land and off-center,how should you make an adjustment?
A) move the pinion gear toward the ring gear
B) move the pinion gear away from the ring gear
C) move the ring gear to increase backlash
D) move the ring gear to decrease backlash
Pinion Gear
A small gear that engages with a larger gear or rack, transferring motion and force in mechanical systems such as steering mechanisms.
Top Land
In an engine, the top land represents the highest section of the piston between the piston ring and the crown, impacting compression and efficiency.
Backlash
The play or gap between meshing gears, allowing for necessary movement without binding in mechanical systems.
