Conjunto del eje central inferior derecho FAW de la subcaja: dentro de su 4 Componentes críticos

Welcome to this critical technical guide on the Conjunto del eje central inferior derecho FAW de la subcaja. This is a complete, load-bearing gear and shaft set for the auxiliary “sub-box” (or range box) of the transmission, designed for the FAW Jiefang CA4251P66K24T1A3E5 6×4 diesel semi-trailer tractor.

El Conjunto del eje central inferior derecho FAW de la subcaja (Número de pieza. 1701515FA0L) is the “counter-shaft” for the transmission’s High/Low range selector. In the heavy-duty twin-countershaft design of this gearbox, this shaft is one of two (a matched “upper” y “lower” set) that splits the engine’s torque, providing immense durability.

This in-depth guide is an essential resource for professional transmission technicians and parts specialists. We will deconstruct the entire Conjunto del eje central inferior derecho FAW de la subcaja into its 4 serviceable components, including the main ‘Welded countershaft assembly’, its precision ‘Tapered roller bearings’, and the critical ‘Locating washer’ for setting preload. The integrity of the Conjunto del eje central inferior derecho FAW de la subcaja is paramount.

Core Component: Welded Countershaft (1701515FA0L)

The heart of the Conjunto del eje central inferior derecho FAW de la subcaja is the ‘Welded countershaft assembly-sub box’ (1701515FA0L). This is the main shaft and gear cluster for the auxiliary transmission. This transmission uses a **twin-countershaft** (o “twin-shaft”) sub-box design. This means the load from the main box is split 50/50 between two shafts: this Conjunto del eje central inferior derecho FAW de la subcaja (el “abajo a la derecha”) and its “left upper” twin.

Este “torque-splitting” design is the hallmark of a heavy-duty transmission. It allows the gearbox to handle the immense torque of a diesel engine using more compact components, as the load on each gear tooth is effectively halved. El “Welded assembly” designation is critical: it means the drive gears for the high/low range are permanently friction-welded to the shaft, creating a single, non-serviceable component of incredible strength. Este Conjunto del eje central inferior derecho FAW de la subcaja is forged from high-manganese steel and case-hardened. A failure of a gear tooth requires the replacement of the entire Conjunto del eje central inferior derecho FAW de la subcaja.

The Bearing System: Tapered Roller Bearings (33109-1 & 33109-2)

Each Conjunto del eje central inferior derecho FAW de la subcaja is supported at its front and rear by a heavy-duty tapered roller bearing. The parts list correctly breaks this bearing (Tipo 33109) into its two serviceable components:

• **’Outer ring-tapered roller bearing’ (33109-1):** Quantity of 2. This is the “cup,” which is pressed into the transmission’s housing.
• **’Inner ring-tapered roller bearing’ (33109-2):** Quantity of 2. This is the “cone” (which contains the rollers), and it is pressed onto the journals of the Conjunto del eje central inferior derecho FAW de la subcaja.

The quantities of 2 each are for *this specific shaft* (one for the front, one for the rear). The *total* for the entire sub-box would be double this, as seen in the “Left Upper” shaft assembly.

Tapered roller bearings are essential for this application. The helical (angled) gear teeth on the Conjunto del eje central inferior derecho FAW de la subcaja create immense **axial load** (thrust, or a constant push/pull force) in addition to the **radial load** (the separating force). A standard ball bearing would be quickly destroyed by this axial thrust. Tapered bearings are specifically engineered to handle both forces at once, which is critical for the long-term survival of the Conjunto del eje central inferior derecho FAW de la subcaja.

Precision Logic: The Locating Washer (1701518-A0L) and Preload

The final component of the Conjunto del eje central inferior derecho FAW de la subcaja is the ‘Locating washer’ (1701518-A0L). The parts list shows a quantity of one, as this specific shaft (el “abajo a la derecha”) is the one that is “shimmed” to set the preload for the entire twin-shaft assembly. This is not a simple washer; it is a **precision shim**.

This shim’s “logic” is to set the **bearing preload**. This is the single most critical step in a transmission rebuild. Tapered roller bearings cannot be simply installed; they must be “squeezed” together with a precise, pre-calculated amount of force.

* **If the preload is too loose** (shim is too thin), el Conjunto del eje central inferior derecho FAW de la subcaja will have “end-play,” allowing it to move back and forth. This misalignment causes the helical gear teeth to mesh improperly, leading to a loud, high-pitched “whine,” vibración, and eventual gear tooth failure.

* **If the preload is too tight** (shim is too thick), the bearings are “crushed” together and have no running clearance. This creates immense friction, which overheats, “blues,” and seizes the bearings, destroying the Conjunto del eje central inferior derecho FAW de la subcaja.

During assembly, a technician must install the shaft, measure the end-play with a dial indicator, and then select a ‘Locating washer’ of the *exact* required thickness from a “selective fit” set (all under the 1701518 part number family). This ensures the Conjunto del eje central inferior derecho FAW de la subcaja spins freely with zero end-play, guaranteeing a quiet and long-lasting repair.

Service and Failure Diagnostics

A failure within the Conjunto del eje central inferior derecho FAW de la subcaja is a major internal transmission fault. The primary cause is almost always lubrication failure (low or contaminated oil) or an incorrect preload setting during a previous repair.

The main symptom of a failing Conjunto del eje central inferior derecho FAW de la subcaja bearing is a loud, constant **whining or growling noise** that is tied to vehicle speed, not engine RPM. The noise will be present in all gears (1-12) and will change in pitch only as the truck speeds up or slows down. This is because the auxiliary sub-box is “downstream” of the main box, and its shafts are always spinning in relation to the driveshaft speed.

A secondary, critical failure mode in a twin-countershaft design is **gear timing**. The two shafts (this Conjunto del eje central inferior derecho FAW de la subcaja and its twin) must be “timed” so their helical gear teeth engage the main shaft at the exact same instant. If one shaft is “off” by a single tooth, the entire torque load will be placed on one shaft instead of being split 50/50. This will rapidly destroy the overloaded Conjunto del eje central inferior derecho FAW de la subcaja, stripping its gear teeth.
