Backlash, predetermine it in the design

ReachandLift · Feb 9, 2004

I am working on a transmission consisting of an electrical drive motor driving a helical pinion. The pinion turns a helical gear connected to a spiral bevel pinion. The spiral bevel pinion turns a spiral bevel gear that is connected to an output drive shaft. A spline connection is used at the spiral bevel pinion and drive shaft.
Can the backlash be predetermined? Is there reference material to calculate the backlash?

We got it in the specs from the gear maker, along with about 30 other toleranced dimensions, including center distance.
