Machined Idler Gear Casting
SAF-Holland

This intermediate gear, machined from a casting, is the critical link that coordinates the rotation between input and output stages in the drive assembly. Precise tooth form and consistent dimensions ensure stable mesh, controlled backlash, and reduced noise during command cycles of deployment and retraction. The robust casting offers strength and durability in heavy duty use, while tight machining yields repeatable gear spacing and alignment with mating parts. The VMRS code 077-003-024 identifies its role in the train, and the category 42736 places it within the gear components family. The part is designed to withstand cumulative wear, maintain engagement under shock loads, and enable smooth operation across miles of operation. When used with compatible gears and bearings, it contributes to predictable cycle timing, reduced maintenance intervals, and reliable performance in fleet operations that need dependable gear trains for on road and off road deployments of landing gear systems.
