Gear Housing: The gear housing is a sturdy, durable casing that encloses the final drive gear components, protecting them from external elements and potential damage.
It is typically made from high-quality cast iron or steel, ensuring strength and resistance to heavy-duty applications. The housing is designed to fit precisely with the ZX200 excavator, providing a secure enclosure for the internal gears.
Gears and Pinions: The gears and pinions are the primary components of the final drive gear system. They are responsible for transmitting power from the engine to the tracks, enabling the machine's movement. These gears are precision-machined and made from high-strength alloy steel to withstand heavy loads and provide long-lasting performance. The gear teeth are precisely cut to ensure smooth and efficient power transmission.
Bearings: Bearings play a crucial role in supporting the rotating gears and pinions within the final drive gear. They help reduce friction and provide smooth rotation, enhancing the overall efficiency and lifespan of the gear system. High-quality, sealed bearings are used to prevent contamination from dirt, debris, and moisture, ensuring reliable operation even in harsh working conditions.
Seals and Gaskets: Seals and gaskets are crucial for preventing oil leaks and maintaining proper lubrication within the final drive gear system. They create a tight seal between the various components, ensuring that the lubricating oil stays within the gear housing and contaminants are kept out. These seals and gaskets are made from durable materials, such as rubber or silicone, to withstand high temperatures and resist wear.
Sprockets: Sprockets are another important part of the final drive gear system.
They are mounted on the axles and engage with the excavator's track chains, transferring power from the gears to the tracks. The sprockets have specially designed teeth that match the shape and size of the track chains, ensuring a secure connection and efficient power transmission. They are typically made from hardened steel to withstand heavy loads and resist wear.
