LOW BACKLASH IN GEARBOX OPERATION

What is Backlash?
Backlash refers to the angle that the output shaft of a gearhead can rotate
without the input shaft moving. Backlash arises due to tolerance in
manufacturing; the gear teeth need some play to avoid jamming when they
mesh.  Backlash is clearance between mating components, sometimes
described as the amount of lost motion due to clearance or slackness when
movement is reversed and contact is re-established. In short it is a
clearance between two teeth’s mating. Backlash is present in any
mechanical system where the driving member is not directly connected to
the load. The most common case occurs with gears, where the loss of
contact between teeth at motion inversion causes a backlash gap to open.
Every type of gear has to deal with backlashing. Backlashing is very
necessary for gear’s smooth functioning, only the manufacturer needs to
minimize its timing so they can prove themselves more efficient than other
competitor. The all products of SMD gearbox are featured with minimum
backlash. SMD mainly distributes in 7 type of servo motor gearboxes.
Their minimum backlashes are as follows:
1. Planetary Gearbox with Flange End:- Backlash less than 1arc-min

2. Planetary Gearbox with Shaft End:- Backlash less than 1arc-min

3. Right Angle Gearbox:- Backlash less than 3-5 arc-min

4. Hollow Rotary gearbox:- Backlash less than 0.5 arc-min

5. Harmonic Gearbox with Hollow End:- Backlash less than 0.4 arc-
min

6. Harmonic Gearbox with Solid End:- Backlash less than 0.5 arc-min

7. Cycloidal Gearbox:- Backlash less than 1 arc-min
