AI Technical Summary
The existing reducer housing has insufficient rigidity, resulting in large deformation of the gears under load, large transmission error, and poor NVH performance.
Multiple longitudinal reinforcing ribs are set between the guide bearing housing support surface and the upper flange surface. The connection between the reinforcing ribs and the differential bearing hole and the housing is optimized to improve the rigidity of the housing. The positioning pin hole ensures the accurate positioning of the main tapered bearing housing.
The increased rigidity of the reducer housing reduced gear deformation under load, decreased transmission error, and improved NVH performance.
