Have you ever heard of gear backlash? It doesn’t refer to a gear-based revolt against manufacturers. Instead, backlash is an error in motion that happens naturally in systems where gears change direction. If unaccounted for, backlash can cause major problems in gear degradation and can even compromise the entire system. What is Gear Backlash? Gear … Continued

Gears are moving parts in complex systems, and as a result, they tend to deal with a lot of wear and tear over time. Even flawlessly machined gears, composed of ideal materials that are taken care of appropriately, can eventually fail. When this happens, your entire system can be compromised, and of course, you’ll have … Continued
