How to measure Gear Backlash and Center Distance

[@outsidescrewball]

Great discussion/demonstration/lesson…tks for sharing

[@largestudent198]

As a designer my old company simply told me to let the experts worry about mechanical precision and that I focus on other stuff. Glad to see a glimpse of other speciality.

Glad to give the view. Thanks for watching-

THANK YOU! Only clear video I've found on UA-cam about gear backlash. I repair sewing machines and this has helped me be a better mechanic, thank you

[@EvolventDesign]

Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting. Sewing machines have a lot of moving parts. Keep them working.

Hi you got a subs. How i can calculate the backlash in spur gears like the example in the video? More specific the 0.005 value. Thanks

[@EvolventDesign]

Try this to start:
evolventdesign.com/pages/spur-gear-generator
The video is not done but the method uses profile shift coefficient

Great video...got any info coming up for worm gear design? That would be super helpful

[@EvolventDesign]

Yes, stay tuned

Dial indicator looks like 0.008” which is still pretty good for oil clearances.

Thanks for noticing and watching. This is a great teaching tool we use in our Gear School.
