Pinion Retainers

With a weight savings of up to 1 ¾ lbs. as compared to the standard “Daytona” cast iron pinion retainers, Strange Oval produces 2 variations of billet steel pinion retainers. While lighter in weight, our pinion retainers maintain a lower axial and radial deflection rate improvement of 20% over the cast iron counterpart. By reducing pinion deflection, the Strange Oval pinion retainers improve gear life

• • 4140 pre heat treated steel provides increased strength and stability over cast iron

• • Precision bearing bore alignment and concentricity for better overall gear efficiency

• • Has constant bearing spacing for easier and more accurate preload set up

• • Has splash type lubrication features as well. Does not have to be pressure fed

• • Front lube return provides several features

• • Returns lube directly to gear mesh

• • Allows for constant lubrication to pinion bearings

• • Lube being returned to critical areas protects and allows a low lube condition

• • Shortens the length of lubrication cooler lines

• Less likely to break front return fitting as to a exposed fitting on back of housing
• Pinion Retainer # ISP105 (with external lubrication line attachment feature)
