Preparation Recommendations
Maximum air pressure at the nozzle must be less than 205 kPa (30 psi)
for cleaning purposes.
Note: Clean exterior of the clutch ring gears prior to disassembly to minimize cross-contamination.
• Before you inspect a part, clean the part thoroughly to ensure that all components are free from rust,
oil, burrs, and debris prior to inspection. A surface irregularity can hide the indication of an
unacceptable defect.
• Use a proper lifting device to provide safety to the operator. Also, use a proper lifting device to
prevent damage to the part when you lift the part.
• Do not use pressurized air to dry internal components. Compressed air has moisture and contaminants
that can cause premature failure of internal components.
• Put hydraulic oil on all machined surfaces to prevent rust or corrosion if inspection is not done
immediately after cleaning. Carefully store the parts in a clean container.
• Inspect all flange mating surfaces for fretting. Ensure that flange mating surfaces are true and free
from raised material resulting from rust, nicks, and dents.

Reusability of clutch ring gears depends on the degree of damage or wear. Some damaged clutch ring gears
obviously cannot be used again. Other gears can be used again, some with certain limitations. For example,
gears with heavy wear on the inner teeth, as shown in Illustration 7, can be used again if an increased noise
level is acceptable.
Illustration 7 g02155413
Heavy wear on the face of the inner teeth.
OK TO USE PART AGAIN. Depending on the location and degree of damage, some damaged clutch ring
gears can be reused without limitations. The four most common types of damage which do not necessarily
affect use are:

Normal wear on the side of the ring gear.
The arrow shows normal wear on the side face of a ring gear, OK TO USE PART AGAIN.
The ring gear is held in a center position by the clutch housing. The wear on the side face shows the area of
ring gear contact with the clutch housing. The size of the worn area can change around the ring gear. This
change is not an indication that the ring gear has been bent from the original shape. Places where no wear
has taken place are indications of low areas. Clutch ring gears that have the above characteristics of side face
wear can be used again.

A broken clutch disc can score (make marks), or put grooves in the tips of the outer teeth on the ring gear.
(1) Score Marks
If the damage is similar to the score marks (1), as shown in Illustration 9, then OK TO USE PART
AGAIN.
A ring gear can be used again if the crowns of the outer teeth show score marks.

Illustration 11 g02155420
Ring gear with notches on the faces of the outer teeth and a groove across several teeth.
After the notches are measured and found to be acceptable, then OK TO USE PART AGAIN.
Refer to Illustration 11 that shows a ring gear with a groove that runs across the width of the gear. This type
of groove was made when the ring gear was machined. Ring gears that have this type of groove can be used
again. Only a few teeth of each disc will come in contact with the groove at one time.
Although some clutches will function adequately with notches deeper than the limits shown below, the wear
could exceed the hardened depth. Additional wear will be more rapid, especially if new clutch discs are
used.
Use the following steps to determine if a ring gear with notches on the outer teeth can be used again:
1. Cut a piece of 0.13 mm (0.005 inch) thick shim stock to the dimension of 2.4 mm (0.09 inch) wide and
50.8 mm (2.00 inch) long. If 0.13 mm (0.005 inch) thick shim stock is not available, use a 0.13 mm
(0.005 inch) thickness gauge (feeler gauge) can be cut to a length of 2.4 mm (0.09 inch).

(A) Maximum width of shim stock
2. Put the piece of shim stock into a notch. The shim must fit into the bottom of the notch without
contacting the sides of the notch that have a taper. Refer to Illustration 12. If the shim does not fit in
the bottom of the notch, cut the shim to fit into the notch.
Illustration 13 g02155431
Measure notches with shim stock.
3. Put a steel ruler or other straight edge across the face of the tooth, refer to Illustration 13. Ensure that
the steel ruler is in contact at all places across the width of the face.
4. Hold the steel ruler in place and pull on the shim. Check the depth of all the notches in each of four
teeth, 90° apart.
5. If you can pull the shim easily from any of the notches checked, then DO NOT USE PART AGAIN.

(3) Flanged or Asymmetrical
(4) Symmetrical
Refer to Illustration 14 for ring gear that is flanged or asymmetrical (3) and ring gear that is symmetrical (4)
(same shape on both sides).
Symmetrical ring gears with notches in the outer teeth worn beyond the 0.13 mm (0.005 inch) maximum,
can be used again.

938G WHEEL LOADER 8RS00611-UP (MACHINE) POWERED BY 3126 ENGINE... Page 18 of 29
To reuse a worn symmetrical ring gear, the ring gear may be flipped so that the clutch discs contact with the
opposite face of the outer teeth. Refer to Illustration 15.
Note: A ring gear that is asymmetrical cannot be flipped. If the notches in the outer teeth are worn beyond a
maximum of 0.13 mm (0.005 inch), then DO NOT USE PART AGAIN.
NOTICE
When grinding, ensure that the profile (shape) of the tooth is not
altered.
Raised areas, burrs, or rough edges on the gear teeth can be removed with Tooling as shown in Illustration 6
or with a polishing stone. Refer to Illustrations 16 18 for examples of this type of damage.

Be careful with burrs and gouges caused by debris, as shown in Illustration 18. After removing the high
areas or rough edges, inspect the gears for cracks using Magnetic Particle Testing (MT). Refer to the "Crack
Detection Methods" section.
At the time of assembly, ensure that the ring gears are still round. Best Practice: To check roundness of a
ring gear, using a new disc determine if the disc will fit over the teeth without force. If force is not required
to put the new disc on, then the ring gear is round.

NOTICE
There are four major crack detection methods or Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) listed in this section:
Visual Surface Inspection (VT), Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT), and Dry / Wet Magnetic Particle Testing
(MT)
Crack detection methods or NDT is methods for testing components for cracks without damaging the
component. VT, PT, and Dry/ Wet MT are methods recommended. There may be more than one acceptable
crack detection method for the testing of a given part, although PT is the most versatile. For example, the PT
method can be used when testing smooth machined components such as shafts, gear teeth, and splines, but
using the Wet MT is more accurate. Refer to Table 4 for advantages and disadvantages and Table 5 for
standards and requirements for these NDT methods.

• Cleaner: Removes dirt before dye application and dissolves the penetrant making possible to wipe the
surface clean.
• Penetration Oil: This solution is highly visible, and will seep into openings at the surface of a part with
capillary action.
• Developer: Provides a blotting action, bringing the penetrant out of the discontinuities and providing a
contrasting background to increase the visibility of the penetrating oil indications.
• Cloth or Wipes: Use with cleaner and for other miscellaneous uses.

1. Dry magnetic powder shall be of high permeability and low retentively and of suitable sizes and
shapes to produce magnetic particle indications. The powder shall be of a color that will provide
adequate contrast with the background of the surface being inspected.
2. Dry magnetic particles shall be stored in suitable containers to resist contamination such as moisture,
grease, oil, non-magnetic particles such as sand, and excessive heat. Contaminants will manifest in the
form of particle color change and particle agglomeration. The degree of contamination will determine
further use of the powder.
3. Dry magnetic powder shall be tested in accordance with ASTM E709 Section 18 (Evaluation of
System Performance/Sensitivity) when not performing.
4. Equipment should include a "U" shaped electromagnetic yoke made from highly permeable magnetic
material, which has a coil wound around the yoke. This coil carries a magnetizing current to impose a
localized longitudinal magnetic field into the part. The magnetizing force of the yoke is related to the
electromagnetic strength and can be tested by determining the lifting power of a steel plate. The yoke
shall have a lifting force of at least 4.5 kg (10 lbs).
5. Check dry powder blower routinely to ensure that the spray is a light, uniform, dust-like coating of the
dry magnetic particles. Blower should also have sufficient force to remove excess particles without
disturbing those particles that are evidence of indications.
6. All equipment shall be inspected at a minimum of once a year or when accuracy is questionable.
Procedure
1. Ensure surface to be inspected is dry and free from oil, grease, sand, loose rust, mil scale, paint, and
other contaminants.
2. Apply the magnetic field using the yoke against the faces and inside diameter of each bore.
3. Simultaneously apply the dry powder using the dry powder blower.
5. Continue around the entire circumference of each bore. Position the yoke twice in each area at 1.57
rad (90°) to ensure that multiple directions of the magnetic field are created.
6. Observe particles and note if any clusters of particles appear revealing an indication.

Pear Shaped Centrifuge Tube
1. Wet magnetic particles are fluorescent and are suspended in a vehicle in a given concentration that
will allow application to the test surface by spraying.
2. Concentration:
a. The concentration of the suspended magnetic particles shall be as specified by the manufacturer
and be checked by settling volume measurements.
b. Concentrations are determined by measuring the settling volume by using an ASTM pear
shaped centrifuge tube with a 1 mL (0.034 oz) stem with 0.05 mL (0.0017 oz) divisions, refer to
Illustration 27. Before sampling, the suspension shall be thoroughly mixed to assure suspension
of all particles, which could have settled. A 100 mL (3.40 oz) sample of the suspension shall be
taken and allowed to settle for 30 minutes. The settling volume should be between 0.1 mL
(0.0034 oz) and 0.25 mL (0.0085 oz) in a 100 mL (3.40 oz) sample.

c. Wet magnetic particles may be suspended in a low viscosity oil or conditioned water.
◾ Low viscosity not to exceed 5 mm2/s (5 cSt) at any temperature at which the vehicle is to
be used.
e. The conditioning agents used in the conditioned water shall have the following characteristics:
◾ Low viscosity shall not exceed a maximum viscosity of 5 mm2/s (5 cSt) at 38° C (100° F).
3. Equipment should include a "U" shaped electromagnetic yoke made from highly permeable magnetic
material, which has a coil wound around the yoke. This coil carries a magnetizing current to impose a
localized longitudinal magnetic field into the part. The magnetizing force of the yoke is related to the
electromagnetic strength and can be tested by determining the lifting power of a steel plate. The yoke
shall have a lifting force of at least 4.5 kg (10 lbs).
Procedure
1. Ensure surface to be inspected is dry and free from oil, grease, sand, loose rust, mil scale, paint, and
any other contaminants.
2. Apply the magnetic field using the yoke against the surface in the area to be inspected.

◦ Due to the sensitivity required to locate the grinding cracks, inspection of case hardened and
ground surfaces require that the yoke is applied so that the magnetic field is 1.57 rad (90°) to the
expected direction of the indications. Also, due to the increased sensitivity resulting when the
yoke is energized, the yoke is not moved until the evaluation is completed in the first direction.
An AC yoke shall be used. See Illustration 28 for an example of yoke placement.
