ABSTRACT:
A shim is provided for a planetary gear arrangement of the type having planetary gears each of which is rotatably mounted to a frame by a shaft. The shim includes an elongated flat body having a generally U-shaped recess at one end and which is adapted to be inserted in between the planetary gear and the frame so that the shaft is positioned within the U-shaped recess. The opposite end of the shim includes a locking tab which abuts against a portion of the frame thus simultaneously locking the shim against pivotal movement and locking the shaft in the U-shaped recess on the shim body. The U-shaped shim serves to channel lubrication into the shim and around the shaft.
