Abstract
An end play measurement apparatus is provided that measures end play of a tapered roller bearing of a gear unit. The gear unit supports a large-gear shaft, with which a gear is fitted, via the tapered roller bearing. The end play measurement apparatus includes a power generation unit, which is fixed to the large-gear shaft and generates power to move the gear unit backward and forward in the axial direction, a position change unit, which is interposed between the power generation unit and the gear unit and changes the axial position of the gear unit by using the power of the power generation unit, and a booster mechanism, which has a free end that receives the power of the power generation unit to boost the power.
