Spur Antibacklash Gear
Item Name Code (INC) 26668
 |
An item having one fixed gear and one free gear, both having the same complement of spur gear teeth, mounted on a common hub. The free gear is attached to the fixed gear by springs and operates as one gear. Upon installation with the mating gear, the teeth of the free moving gear are preset to mesh with teeth other than those of the fixed gear. This spring tension between the fixed gear and the free gear eliminates any free motion between the driver and the driven gear. The gear is used where identical and accurate transmitted motion between gears is required.
Additional Information for Spur Antibacklash Gear
Spur antibacklash gears are a type of gear used in mechanical power transmission systems. They are part of the supply class "Gears, Pulleys, Sprockets, and Transmission Chain" in the supply group "Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment."
Spur gears are a type of cylindrical gear with straight teeth that are parallel to the gear axis. They are commonly used in applications where precise motion control and power transmission are required.
Antibacklash gears, on the other hand, are designed to minimize or eliminate the backlash that can occur in gear systems. Backlash refers to the slight movement or play between the teeth of gears when the direction of rotation is reversed. This can result in inaccuracies and loss of motion control in the system.
Spur antibacklash gears are specifically designed to reduce or eliminate this backlash. They typically feature special modifications to the gear teeth, such as preloading or using double gears, to ensure a tight meshing between the gears and minimize any movement or play.
These gears are commonly used in applications where precise positioning and motion control are critical, such as robotics, CNC machines, and other high-precision equipment.
In summary, spur antibacklash gears are a type of gear used in mechanical power transmission systems to minimize or eliminate backlash and ensure precise motion control. They are part of the supply class "Gears, Pulleys, Sprockets, and Transmission Chain" in the supply group "Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment."
