Abstract
Gear systems provide backlash control at low loading and effective load carrying at increased loading. A gear system with backlash control includes at least two meshing gears. One of the gears has a gear section configured for carrying loads and another gear section configured to control backlash. The gear sections are connected together by a compliant section that has features that reduce stiffness so that the gear sections are moveable relative to each other. One gear section is biased relative to the other gear section so that its teeth are preloaded against the teeth of the first gear.
