Zusammenfassung:There is provided a pin and mounting assembly for supporting a gear of an epicyclic or parallel shaft transmission. The pin and mounting assembly comprises: a mounting (4) which has a first interference surface; and a pin (2) which has a second interference surface. The second interference surface is adapted for engagement with the first interference surface to establish an interference fit (6). The first and/or second interference surface defines an open ended volume such as a cylinder, cuboid or frustum and a longitudinal axis of the interference fit is defined as extending through the volume. A section through at least a part of the first and/or second interference surface on the longitudinal axis describes a curved interference depth with at least one maximum and/or minimum.
