Idler gear kit collar for American Crane 9310

The collar with part number 1104796 serves as a positioning component within the idler gear kit for the American Crane 9310. It functions as a sleeve or ring that secures the gear on its shaft, limiting axial movement and ensuring the gear remains correctly aligned during operation. By maintaining this precise position, the collar helps the idler gear transfer motion effectively within the transmission system of the crane.

This component is specifically engineered for fitment on the American Crane 9310 model. It is designed to integrate into the existing idler gear assembly to support the gear's rotation and spacing requirements.

In heavy machinery transmissions, collars are used to stabilize rotating parts and manage spacing between components. An idler gear serves to bridge the distance between other gears, change the direction of rotation, or transfer power without altering the overall gear ratio. The collar ensures that these gears remain fixed in their intended plane, preventing lateral shifting that could otherwise lead to misalignment or uneven wear on the gear teeth.
