Using Schubart's three-dimensional averaging model, we calculated 96 orbits at the 2/1 Kirkwood gap over 17,000 years. A classification of the orbits with respect to the behaviour of ω and ω∼ yields 5 classes out of which 3 classes have real representatives among the known asteroids. All the orbits are stable in Hill's sense. Three major mechanisms determine orbital stability: σ-libration, e-ω phase coupling and ω-libration. The behaviour of the orbits is interpreted on the basis of results obtained in the planar case.
