Pinion nut 145262 Carraro, OEM

Pinion nut 145262 is an OEM part for the backhoe loaders with Carraro axles. According to the product card, this part is a pinion nut.

The pinion nut fits on the end of the pinion shaft in an axle or gearbox and holds the flange, bearings and spacers together. Its tightness sets the preload of the pinion bearings: a loose nut allows end float and gear noise, while an overtightened one makes the bearings run hot. The pinion nut is therefore tightened to the torque or rolling resistance the maker specifies.
