Backlash (engineering) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mechanical engineering, backlash , sometimes called lash or play , is clearance between mating components, sometimes described as the amount of lost motion due to clearance or slackness when ...

A small amount of backlash is also desirable to provide for lubricant space and differential expansion between the gear components and the housing. Any error in machining which tends to increase the possibility of jamming makes it necessary to increase the amount of backlash by at least as much as the errors.

The correct unit for the rotational backlash of a gearbox is the; “angular minute”; A true precision low backlash servo gear head has a backlash of 2 to 8 angular minutes (measured at he output); Backlash measurement;

Spur gear backlash is the amount of tooth space between mating gears at the pitch circle diameter. Backlash may be measured or specified in the transverse, normal, or axial planes, and in the direction of the pit circles or on the line-of-action.

8. Having zero gear backlash; The most difficult item to understand, and the biggest culprit affecting punch life, is gear backlash. Often gear backlash is present but cannot be easily detected. A number of things can introduce gear backlash into the punch unit’s gears.

Is there something called gear backlash that 1990 Coupes suffer from (noisy but not dangerous) that the 1991's don't have because of their dual mass fly wheels? Inquiring minds want to know. MMMV (my mileage may vary) Saam Gabbay SaamG@aol.com...

This action moves the worm gear closer to the worm wheel, which removes the gap that you felt earlier. Removing the space between the gears is a delicate adjustment. The distance between too much backlash and a jammed gear is only a few thousandths of an inch. ... 900GTO - Adjustments to Remove Worm Gear Backlash...

Backlash (as defined by Astro-Physics): Backlash is the result of a gap between the ... The worm gear, reduction spurs and motor are mounted in a movable module. A pair of "push" setscrews and centered single "pull" screw provide adjustment of the worm. The "push" setscrews are brass tipped and engage a mating surface.
