Abstract
A gear suspension system is disclosed that permits movement of a gear, such as a spiral bevel or hypoid gear relative to its pinion with up to four degrees of freedom. Specifically, the gear suspension system includes a support frame with a movable carriage mounted thereon. The carriage includes a lower carriage member connected to an upper carriage member with suspension struts. The gear is mounted to the upper carriage member for rotation about a central axis. Actuators connected to the lower carriage member adjust the gear mounting distance and the shaft angle between the pinion and the gear, while actuators mounted to the upper carriage member adjust the H and V positions of the pinion relative to the gear.
