    Guidelines For Reusable Parts and Salvage Operations of Camshafts Visual Inspection of Timing Gear

    Uploaded by

    This document provides guidelines for determining whether camshaft timing gears can be reused or salvaged. It examines various types of wear, damage and defects that may be present on timing gears and indicates whether the gear can still be used based on the condition. Conditions like normal wear, light pitting or machining marks would allow reuse, while heavy pitting, cracks or severe plastic deformation mean the gear should not be reused. The guidelines aim to help reduce costs by salvaging reusable parts.

    GUIDELINES FOR REUSABLE PARTS AND

    SALVAGE OPERATIONS OF CAMSHAFTS

    Visual Inspection of Timing Gear

    Introduction :
    This Reuse and Salvage Guideline contains the necessary information in order to allow a dealer to establish a parts
    reusability program. Reuse and salvage information enables Caterpillar dealers and customers to benefit from cost
    reductions.
    The illustrations in this guideline show specific examples of reusability for timing gears for engines. Normally, the
    reusability of the gears is determined from the condition of the gear teeth. Damage in other areas on the gear is not
    common and easily identified.
    If a timing gear is within the specifications in this guideline, the gear can be expected to give normal performance until
    the next overhaul when the gear is used again in the same application. Correct all conditions that caused the damage
    to the gear. Be sure to check the specifications for backlash after the gears are installed in the engine. Refer to the
    correct Service Manual for these specifications.

    Nomenclatures :

    (1) End
    (2) Tip
    (3) Edge
    (4) Face of the tooth
    (5) Pitch line
    (6) Radius
    (7) Profile

    Effect of Wear

    Use again. The gears that are shown above show


    Use again. The polished areas are examples of some loss of material from the teeth in addition to
    normal wear areas that are polished

    Use again. The areas indicate a typical area of


    normal wear. Do not use the timing gear again if Use again. The areas of wear show some light
    either side of the worn area can be felt with a corrosion
    fingernail
    Use again. The areas indicate a typical area of
    normal wear. Do not use the timing gear again if Use again. The areas of wear show some light
    either side of the worn area can be felt with a corrosion
    fingernail

    Use again. Oil can cause discoloration on Do Not Use again. The amount of wear is
    sections of some teeth different on each tooth

    Do Not Use again. The surfaces and the faces of the gear teeth are not polished. This is an indication of
    excessive wear

    Do Not Use again. Excessive wear has


    completely destroyed the profiles of the teeth

    Effect of Pitting
    Use again. Pitting on the ends of the teeth Do Not Use again. Pitting at the pitch line of each
    tooth

    Do Not Use again. Pitting in the radius of each Do Not Use again. Heavy pitting
    gear tooth

    Do Not Use again. Heavy pitting

    Do Not Use again. Heavy pitting and excessive wear


    Use again. Light pitting that has been polished

    Effect of Machining

    Use again. The gear teeth contain marks from machining and some light pitting

    Use again. Machining can sometimes cause lips Use again. Typical marks from machining
    on both edges of the gear tooth

    Use again. Typical horizontal and vertical machining marks

    Nicks, Cracks, and Other Damage to the Surface


    Small nicks on one edge and the tip of a tooth A small nick on the face of the tooth
    Use again. Use the timing gear again after the sharp edges of the nick are smoothed with a 6V-2010 Polishing
    Stone

    A nick on the end of a tooth. Use the timing gear


    again after the sharp edges in the immediate area
    of the face of the tooth are smoothed with a 6V-
    2010 Polishing Stone . Do Not Use again. A crack in the end of a tooth

    Do Not Use again. deep gouge across the center Do Not Use again. Raised ridges along the faces
    of the tooth face of the teeth

    Severe Plastic Yielding

    Do Not Use again. This gear is a typical example Do Not Use again. This gear contains severe
    of severe plastic yielding. The lips are not of even plastic yielding. The lips are not of even height
    height
    Notes :
    Severe plastic yielding is caused by a heavy flow of surface material. Severe plastic yielding results in the
    development of lips on the ends, edges, and/or tips of the gear teeth. Severe plastic yielding causes uneven lips,
    whereas lips from machining are even.

    Scoring
    Use again. Vertical lines on the face of the tooth
    are indications of scoring. Scoring is not a common
    problem in timing gears
