The high-end economy lines GSN & GFE combine powerful with financial efficiency: both lines are also equipped with helical ground gears, ensuring a minimum noise level and smooth running. The entire needle bearing has been especially designed to reach high torques that beat the competition for products of the same size. All planetary carriers are manufactured as a cage made from solid material. This increases quiet operating characteristics while at the same time improving positioning precision and reducing backlash. Yet another shaft sealing band ensures maximum dirt and splash water safety relative to protection class IP65 in every lines.
One way to reduce backlash is to use precision gears. The focus on manufacturing in precision gears is definitely tighter tolerances, so all over the gear is a tighter, more specific suit. And the tighter suit means less play in the gear teeth, which is the trigger of backlash to begin with. Of training course, precision gears are more expensive, but if the application demands high accuracy, after that precision gearing could be the way to go.
From 
a equipment design perspective, an easy way to reduce backlash is to make sure one’s teeth mesh tightly together. That is typically completed by shortening the guts distance between gears. For pre-loading, this can be done using a spring mechanism to hold the gears firmly set up. This also eliminates the perform between the gear teeth and thus eliminates backlash.
Of course, the kind of gears used may also have a large impact on the quantity of backlash. So for instance, some gear types such as stress wave gears, or harmonic equipment drives, have zero backlash.
The GSD, GSB & GSBL high-end gearbox lines are constructed in a space-optimized, two-stage design. Due to the lower torque values, the input stage is definitely dimensionally smaller than the result stage. Its short design makes the GSD collection the perfect high-end gearbox for space limited applications. The low regular backlash of the GSD collection makes it an ideal fit for highly powerful applications where highest positioning and velocity accuracy is necessary. The flange output produces highest torsional rigidity. For the accommodation of particularly high axial loads, taper roller bearings are optionally available in sizes with 90 mm diameter or more. The GSB line stands for high performance in combination with low backlash and high precision. Its robust, one-piece housing allows for a high gearbox rigidity and the absorption of high radial and axial loads. The angular gearboxes of the GSBL collection provide same advantages as the GSB collection; the right angle form makes the GSBL line the perfect match for all dynamic applications where space is limited.
